Pull-out Retentive Strength of Different Fiber Post Systems After Retreatment with Guttasolv

Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluated whether the use of the gutta-percha solvent Guttasolv during retreatment procedures influences the retention of two fiber post systems: D.T. Light-Post used with Duolink dual-cured luting resin cement and RelyX posts used with RelyX Unicem self-adhesive resin cement. Materials and Methods: Forty extracted human mandibular premolars were included in the study. After the preparation and obturation of the root canals, the specimens were randomly assigned to four groups (n=10) according to the retreatment protocol. In Groups 1 and 3, the filling material was removed using only the ProTaper Retreatment system, whereas in Groups 2 and 4 the solvent GuttaSolv was additionally applied during the removal procedure. Afterward, the canals were re-obturated. RelyX fiber posts were placed in Groups 1 and 2 using the RelyX U200 Automix self-adhesive resin cement system. In Groups 3 and 4, D.T. Light fiber posts were cemented with All-Bond Universal and Duo-Link resin cement. The roots were mounted in a pull-out testing device connected to a universal testing machine. The maximum force recorded at the moment the post was dislodged from the root was defined as the bond failure value. Results: The pull-out test demonstrated statistically significant differences among the groups (p=0.001, p<0.01). Group 1 exhibited significantly greater pull-out strength compared with Groups 2 and 4 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The use of solvent during retreatment procedures adversely affected the bonding performance of RelyX posts. However, the bond strength of D.T. Light posts was not significantly influenced by solvent use.
