title: Retention of cast endodontic posts: comparison of cementing agents.
abstract: Zinc phosphate, glass-ionomer, and polycarboxylate cements were compared with a composite for ability to retain cast gold posts in prepared root canals of extracted teeth. Zinc phosphate and glass-ionomer cements were found to be more retentive than polycarboxylate cement and composite.
