M. Ferrari et F. Mannocci, A 'one-bottle' adhesive system for bonding a fibre post into a root canal:an SEM evaluation of the post-resin interface, INT ENDOD J, 33(4), 2000, pp. 397-400
Aim This report presents a case in which a 'one-bottle' adhesive system was
used in combination with proprietary resin cement for bonding a fibre post
.
Methodology The fibre post was placed into the root canal of a fractured ro
ot under clinical conditions and then extracted 1 week later. Using scannin
g electron microscopy, half of the root was evaluated for hybrid layer form
ation and the other half for assessing resin tags.
Results The investigation demonstrated that a 'one-bottle' system can infil
trate etched dentine.
Conclusions The 'one-bottle' system tested in this study can create a mecha
nical interlocking with root etched dentine under clinical conditions.
