title: Retention of prefabricated posts with dental adhesive and composite.
abstract: Sixty-three No. 4 Dentatus threaded posts were cemented in extracted teeth and tested for tensile strength. The cementing medium was Silar composite alone or in combination with a conventional bonding agent or Scotchbond dental adhesive, or both. Results indicate that: Retention was greater when the posts were cemented with the Silar composite preceded with the application of Scotchbond. Retention was less with Silar composite alone or combined with a conventional bonding agent. Scotchbond is suggested for use as a bonding agent when cementing Dentatus posts with composites.
