An in vitro study to assess glucose microleakage along fiber posts cemented with 2- and 3-step etch-and-rinse resin adhesive systems

Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent. 2011 Mar;19(1):33-7.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to compare the sealing ability of two adhesive systems. Thirty teeth were endodontically treated and were randomly assigned to 2 groups: G 1 - 3-step adhesive (Solobond-Plus) and G 2 - 2-step adhesive (Solobond-M). Posts containing glass fiber were cemented using the adhesive technique recommended by the manufacturer. All samples were mounted on a glucose leakage model. A 10 microL aliquot of solution was drawn from the glass bottle using a micropipette. The samples were then analyzed in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The two tested adhesive systems presented a similar capacity to prevent the glucose infiltration.
