ASSESSMENT OF PUSH-OUT BOND STRENGTH BETWEEN COMPOSITE AND GLASS FIBER POSTS WITH VARIOUS SURFACE TREATMENTS

Аннотация

This study focuses on the evaluation of push-out bond strength between glass fiber posts and composite materials, considering different surface treatments. Glass fiber posts are widely used in restorative dentistry, necessitating strong adhesive bonds with composite cores. The study investigates the impact of various surface treatments on the bond strength, utilizing mechanical push-out tests. Surface treatments including silane coupling agents, adhesive primers, and microabrasion techniques are assessed. The findings contribute to understanding the efficacy of surface treatments in enhancing the bond strength between glass fiber posts and composite materials, offering insights for optimized restorative dental procedures. KEYWORDS Push-out bond strength, glass fiber posts, composite materials, surface treatments, silane coupling agents, adhesive primers, microabrasion, adhesive bonding, restorative dentistry, dental procedures.
