    Journal: Int Endod J; 2008 Jun; 41(6):476-84. PubMed ID: 18355254.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To test the hypothesis that the composition of endodontic sealer cements and the time elapsed between root filling and fibreglass post fixation interferes with adhesion to root canal dentine. METHODOLOGY: Sixty bovine incisor roots were divided into five groups (n = 12): CI, unfilled; SI, filled with a calcium hydroxide-based cement-Sealer 26, and immediate post fixation; S7, Sealer 26 and post fixation after 7 days; EI, filled with a zinc oxide and eugenol-based cement-Endofill and immediate fixation; and E7 Endofill and post fixation after 7 days. The posts were cemented with adhesive system and dual resin cement. Ten roots were cross-sectioned to obtain two 1-mm-thick discs for each cervical (TC), middle (TM) and apical (TA) third of the prepared root portion. The posts were submitted to a micropush-out test. The other two teeth were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy to analyse the bond interface. Data were analysed using anova, Tukey and Dunnett tests (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Group EI was associated with a significant reduction in bond strength values irrespective of the root region; TC = 3.50 MPa (P = 0.0001); TM = 2.22 MPa (P = 0.0043) and TA = 1.45 MPa (P = 0.003). Region of canal had an influence on the values for the cement used in group E7, in which only the TA presented differences from the CI. CONCLUSIONS: Endofill interfered negatively with the bond to root dentine along its full length and in the TA when post fixation was delayed for 7 days. Bond strength decreased from crown to apex in all groups.
