Evaluation of Recementation Protocols for Dislodged Glass Fiber Posts
Purpose:
To evaluate different protocols for recementation of dislodged glass fiber posts (GFPs).
Materials And Methods:
The root canals of 50 bovine incisors were prepared to receive GFPs that were conditioned with 24% hydrogen peroxide, silanized, and cemented with a self-adhesive resin cement. After light curing, the specimens were submitted to a pullout test. The dislodged GPFs were distributed into five experimental groups (n = 10) for the recementation surface treatment: NT = no treatment; SI = silane; ET = 92.8% ethanol/silane; HP = 24% hydrogen peroxide/silane; and AL = airborne-particle abrasion (50 μm alumina)/silane. The GFPs were recemented with the same self-adhesive resin cement, and specimens were submiLed to a second pullout test. Data were analyzed with Student t test and one-way ANOVA (α = .05).
Results:
For all groups, the recementation bond strength was higher than the strength obtained after the first cementa4on (P < .05). There were no statistical differences among the experimental recementation protocols (P = .096).
Conclusions:
All recementation protocols might be reliably applied because they led to higher bond strength than the first cementation. Int J Prosthodont 2023;36:e74-e87.
