title: Effect of cementation method on the retention of anatomic cast post and cores.
abstract: This study determined the influence of the cementation method on the retention of anatomic posts. Three cementation methods were used for each post/tooth combination: (1) cement on post only, (2) cement in canal only, and (3) cement on post and in canal. The mean retentive force for method 2 was significantly higher than for method 1. The mean force for method 3 was not significantly different from either method 1 or method 2.
