Does cleaning of post space before cementation of fiber reinforced post affect the push-out bond strength to resin cement?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fiber-reinforced posts (FRPs) are preferred for the rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth. Achieving adequate bond strength between resin cement and root dentin requires effective removal of the smear layer and debris from the post space before cementation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of various post space cleaning methods prior to cementation of fiber-reinforced posts on the push-out bond strength (PBS).

Methods

Ninety-one human premolars underwent root canal treatment, post space preparation and were assigned to seven groups, each using a different cleaning method. These included normal saline (control), sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, EDTA, air abrasion, Katana™ Cleaner, and phosphoric acid. Tapered fiber-reinforced posts were c
