What Is the Role of Resin Cement on Bond Strength of Glass-fiber Posts Luted Into Root Canals? A Systematic Review

This summary is based on the article published in the journal of Operative Dentistry: The Role of Resin Cement on Bond Strength of Glass-fiber Posts Luted Into Root Canals: A Systematic Review (January/February 2014)

 

Clinical Relevance

There is little clinical evidence on the performance of glass-fiber posts to guide clinical decisions when selecting the cementation strategy. This meta-analysis of in vitro studies suggests that the use of self-adhesive resin cement could improve the retention of glass-fiber posts (GFPs).

Purpose of the Review

A systematic review was conducted to determine if there is difference in bond strength to dentin between regular and self-adhesive resin cements and to verify the influence of several variables on the retention of GFPs.

Findings

  • The results showed heterogeneity in all comparisons, and higher bond strength to dentin was identified for self-adhesive cements.
  • Although the articles included in this meta-analysis showed high heterogeneity and high risk of bias, the in vitro literature seems to suggest that use of self-adhesive resin cement could improve the retention of GFPs into root canals.
