SILVA, Joice Olegário et al. Tensile strength of glass fiber posts in the intraradicular environment: effect of different luting cements. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.4, pp. 381-385. ISSN 1677-3888.

This study evaluated, in vitro, the tensile stength of glass fiber post (WP), de 1.2mm, (White Post DC, FGM) cemented with three different luting agents: zinc phosphate cement (FZ) (S.S.WHITE); dual-polymerized resin luting agents (V) (Variolink, Ivoclar/ Vivadent) and autopolymerized resin luting agents (M) (Multilink, Ivoclar/ Vivadent). Forty-five human anterior teeth had the crowns removed 3 mm on this side at the cement-enamel junction. They were divide into 3 groups, as follows: G1- (control) WP+FZ (n=15); G2- WP+V (n=15) e G3-WP+M (n=15). The roots were mounted vertically in self-cured acrylic resin. The specimens were stored in destilled water for one week at 37ºC and fixed in a testing machine MTS 810 (MTS System Corporation) and loaded in tension at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure. The results were: zinc phosphate cement (95.1200 MPa); Variolink (87.0680 MPa) and Multilink (73.0500 MPa). The data was analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey tests at the 0.05 significance level. It was possible conclude that the glass fiber posts cimented with zinc phosphate cement presented the largest resistance values for the tension's removal, but significant different only for the Multilink's group.
