The effect of immediate versus delayed cementation on the retention of different types of fiber post in canals obturated using a eugenol sealer.
Post can be placed immediately after the completion of the endodontic procedure or at a later stage after setting of the sealer. In this in vitro study, post space preparation and post cementation were performed immediately (group 1), 24 h (group 2), and 7 days (group 3) after root filling. A control group with no root canal obturation was included (group 4). Each group was further divided into three subgroups, according to the post type and to the materials used for luting the post. A push-out test was performed to evaluate post-root canal dentin interfacial strength. Differences among experimental groups were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and the Tukey test. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in interfacial strengths were observed for the factors post cementation interval and post type. Clinicians should be careful in performing immediate cementation of fiber posts, as delayed cementation shows higher post-dentin interfacial strengths irrespective of the post type.
