Effect of cementation method on the retention of anatomic cast post and cores.
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.
