Bond Strength Between Fiber Posts And Composite Resin Core - Influence Of Temperature On Silane Coupling Agents

This study evaluated the effect of air drying temperature and different silane coupling agents on the bond strength between glass fiber posts and composite resin core. The post surface was cleaned with alcohol and treated with different silane coupling agents, being three prehydrolyzed silanes [Silano (Angelus), Prosil (FGM), RelyX Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE)] and one two-component silane [Silane Coupling Agent (Dentsply)]. Two post-silanization air drying temperatures, 23°C and 60°C, were applied. A cylindrical plastic matrix was placed around the silanized post and filled with composite resin. Each bonded post provided 7 slices for push-out testing. Each slice was loaded to failure under compression at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Scott-Knott tests (α=0.05). Dunnett's test was used to compare the mean of the control group with that of each experimental group. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the interface of the fractured slices. For the 23°C air drying temperature, the use of RelyX Ceramic Primer resulted in significantly lower bond strength than the other silane coupling agents, while the bond strength with Silane Coupling Agent was the highest of all groups. Only with Silane Coupling Agent, the bond strength for the 23°C air drying temperature was significantly higher than that for 60°C air drying. In conclusion, the use of warm air drying after silane application produced no increase in the bond strength between the fiber-reinforced composite post and the composite core. The twocomponent silane produced higher bond strength than all prehydrolyzed silanes when it was used with air drying at room temperature.231814Sadek, F.T., Monticelli, F., Goracci, C., Tay, F.R., Cardoso, P.E., Ferrari, M., Bond strength performance of different resin composites used as core materials around fiber posts (2007) Dent Mater, 23, pp. 95-99Valandro, L.F., Ozcan, M., de Melo, R.M., Galhano, G.A., Baldissara, P., Scotti, R., Effect of silica coating on flexural strength of fiber posts (2006) Int J Prosthodont, 19, pp. 74-76Wrbas, K.T., Schirrmeister, J.F., Altenburger, M.J., Agrafioti, A., Hellwig, E., Bond strength between fibre posts and composite resin cores: Effect of post surface silanization (2007) Int Endod J, 40, pp. 538-543Santos-Filho, P.C., Castro, C.G., Silva, G.R., Campos, R.E., Soares, C.J., Effects of post system and length on the strain and fracture resistance of root filled bovine teeth (2008) Int Endod J, 41, pp. 493-501Gateau, P., Sabek, M., Dailey, B., Fatigue testing and microscopic evaluation of post and core restorations under artificial crowns (1999) J Prosthet Dent, 82, pp. 341-347Goracci, C., Raffaelli, O., Monticelli, F., Balleri, B., Bertelli, E., Ferrari, M., The adhesion between prefabricated FRC posts and composite resin cores: Microtensile bond strength with and without postsilanization (2005) Dent Mater, 21, pp. 437-444Monticelli, F., Ferrari, M., Toledano, M., Cement system and surface treatment selection for fiber post luting (2008) Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal, 13, pp. 214-221Monticelli, F., Toledano, M., Osorio, R., Ferrari, M., Effect of temperature on the silane coupling agents when bonding core resin to quartz fiber posts (2006) Dent Mater, 22, pp. 1024-1028de la Fuente, J.L., Madruga, E.L., A kinetic study of free-radical copolymerization of butyl acrylate with methyl methacrylate in solution (1996) Macrom Chem Phys, 197, pp. 3743-3755Shen, C., Oh, W., Williams, J.R., Effect of post-silanization drying on the bond strength of composite to ceramic (2004) J Prosthet Dent, 91, pp. 453-458Barghi, N., Berry, T., Chung, K., Effects of timing and heat treatment of silanated porcelain on the bond strength (2000) J Oral Rehabil, 27, pp. 407-412Akgungor, G., Sen, D., Aydin, M., Influence of different surface treatments on the short-term bond strength and durability between a zirconia post and a composite resin core material (2008) J Prosthet Dent, 99, pp. 388-399Bitter, K., Priehn, K., Martus, P., Kielbassa, A.M., In vitro evaluation of push-out bond strengths of various luting agents to tooth-colored posts (2006) J Prosthet Dent, 95, pp. 302-310Goracci, C., Tavares, A.U., Fabianelli, A., Monticelli, F., Raffaelli, O., Cardoso, P.C., The adhesion between fiber posts and root canal walls: Comparison between microtensile and push-out bond strength measurements (2004) Eur J Oral Sci, 112, pp. 353-361Soares, C.J., Santana, F.R., Castro, C.G., Santos-Filho, P.C., Soares, P.V., Qian, F., Finite element analysis and bond strength of a glass post to intraradicular dentin: Comparison between microtensile and push-out tests (2008) Dent Mater, 24, pp. 1405-1411Soares, C.J., Soares, P.V., de Freitas Santos-Filho, P.C., Castro, C.G., Magalhaes, D., Versluis, A., The influence of cavity design and glass fiber posts on biomechanical behavior of endodontically treated premolars (2008) J Endod, 34, pp. 1015-1019Perdigão, J., Gomes, G., Lee, I.K., The effect of silane on the bond strengths of fiber posts (2006) Dent Mater, 22, pp. 752-758Armstrong, S., Geraldeli, S., Maia, R., Raposo, L.H.A., Soares, C.J., Yamagawa, J., Adhesion to tooth structure: A critical review of "micro" bond strength test methods (2010) Dent Mater, 26, pp. 50-62Bitter, K., Noetzel, J., Neumann, K., Kielbassa, A.M., Effect of silanization on bond strengths of fiber posts to various resin cements (2007) Quintessence Int, 38, pp. 121-128Goyal, S., Silanes: Chemistry and applications (2006) J Ind Prosthodont Soc, 6, pp. 14-1
