title: Retentive properties of a threaded split post with attachment sleeves cemented with various luting agents.
abstract: This study determined the retention, in pounds, of Nos. 1 through 3 stainless steel attachment sleeves for the threaded split post system cemented with various cements. Post heads and matching sleeves were also sandblasted and compared with attachments not sandblasted. Four luting agents were selected, zinc oxyphosphate cement (ZOP), and three brands of composite resin cement (CRC). The experiment was divided into two parts; in part 1, samples were not treated, and in part 2, samples were sandblasted. Retentive values were recorded with a universal testing machine. A 2 x 3 x 4 factorial three-way analysis of variance was used to compute the effects sandblasting, sleeve and post type, and the luting agent. No statistical differences were recorded for sleeves not sandblasted, Nos. 1 and 2, regardless of the luting agent. The nonsandblasted No. 3 sleeve cemented with Panavia CRC had significantly greater retention than All-Bond CRC or ZOP. There were no statistical differences in retention of sandblasted sleeves for the No. 1 sleeve despite the type of luting agent. For sandblasted sleeves Nos. 2 and 3, ZOP and Panavia CRC recorded significantly greater retention than All-Bond CRC. However, there was no difference between sandblasting and not sandblasting for the No. 1 sleeve. Mean loads for Nos. 2 and 3 sleeves were substantially greater for sandblasted compared with attachments not sandblasted.
