title: The root canal bonding of chemical-cured total-etch resin cements.
abstract: Discovering a durable restorative method to reconstruct and reinforce pulpless teeth is a vital key to help prevent root fractures. Complete and firm adhesion of resin cement in root canal dentin using a post is critical to achieve it. The null hypothesis in the present study was that the bond strength of dual-cured and chemical-cured adhesive resin cements to root canal dentin is not affected by their vertical locations in the root canal. In the experiments, extracted human incisors restored with fiber-reinforced posts and adhesive resin cements were subjected to microtensile bond strength testing. Then, the failure modes and the dentin-bonding interfaces were observed. Self-etch and self-adhesive dual-cured resin cements showed frequent pretesting failure despite using a silane coupling agent. Chemical-cured total-etch adhesive material showed stable bonding performances throughout the entire post space and thus has an advantage in post-core restorations.
