Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the regional bond strength of a dual-cure resin core material to root canal dentin using four self-etching primer/adhesive systems. Post spaces were prepared in extracted premolars, and their root canal dentin was treated with one of the following self-etching primer/adhesive systems: ED Primer II and Clearfil Photobond, photo-cure/dual-cure systems of Clearfil Liner Bond 2V, or Clearfil SE Bond. Post spaces were filled with the dual-cure resin core material, and microtensile bond strength (microTBS) at the coronal and apical regions was measured after 24-hour storage. There were no regional differences in microTBS of the photo-cure and dual-cure systems of Clearfil Liner Bond 2V, while microTBS at the coronal region of Photobond and SE Bond groups were higher than those at the apical region. At the apical region, photo-cured Clearfil Liner Bond 2V exhibited significantly higher bond strength than those of the other systems.
