Bond strength and Weibull analysis of fiber posts luted with different cement types and mechanically aged

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of cement type and mechanical cycling on the push-out bond strength (σ) of fiber posts luted to root canals. Eighty bovine single-root teeth were prepared and the roots were included with chemically cured acrylic resin. The specimens were allocated into 8 groups (n = 10) considering the factors ‘cement’ (glass ionomer cement – GIC, resin reinforced glass ionomer cement – RRGIC, conventional dual-cure...
