Abstract:

Objective： To evaluate the micro-push-out bond strengths of prefabricated glass fiber posts with poly-dopamine functionalized to root dentin using resin cements, contrasted with silane treatment. Methods: In the study, 30 glass fiber posts were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 posts in each group) for different surface treatments. Group 1, treated with poly-dopa; Group 2, treated with silane coupling agent for 60s; Group 3, no surface treatment (Control group). The 30 extracted human, single-rooted teeth were endodontically treated and a 9 mm post space was prepared in each tooth with post drills provided by the manufacturer. Following post cementation, the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 ℃ for 7 days. The micro-push-out bond strengths were tested using a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min), and the failure modes were examined with a stereomicroscope. The data of the three groups were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test(α= 0.05).Results: The bond strengths were (7.909±1.987) MPa for Group 1, (5.906 ±0.620) MPa for Group 2, and 4.678 ±0.910 MPa for Group 3. The bond strength of poly-dopamine group was significantly higher than that of the silane group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Contrasted with silane treatment, surface poly-dopamine functionalization was confirmed to be a more reliable method for improving the bond strength of resin luting agents to fiber posts.
