PURPOSE. To investigate the void parameters within the resin cements used for fiber post cementation by micro-CT (${\mu}CT$) and regional push-out bonding strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty-one, single and round shaped roots were enlarged with a low-speed drill following by endodontic treatment. The roots were divided into three groups (n=7) and fiber posts were cemented with Maxcem Elite, Multilink N and Superbond C&B resin cements. Specimens were scanned using ${\mu}CT$ scanner at resolution of $13.7{\mu}m$. The number, area, and volume of voids between dentin and post were evaluated. A method of analysis based on the post segmentation was used, and coronal, middle and apical thirds considered separately. After the ${\mu}CT$ analysis, roots were embedded in epoxy resin and sectioned into 2 mm thick slices (63 sections in total). Push-out testing was performed with universal testing device at 0.5 mm/min cross-head speed. Data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. Overall, significant differences between the resin cements and the post level were observed in the void number, area, and volume (P<.05). Super-Bond C&B showed the most void formation ($44.86{\pm}22.71$). Multilink N showed the least void surface ($3.51{\pm}2.24mm^2$) and volume ($0.01{\pm}0.01mm^3$). Regional push-out bond strength of the cements was not different (P>.05). CONCLUSION. ${\mu}CT$ proved to be a powerful non-destructive 3D analysis tool for visualizing the void parameters. Multilink N had the lowest void parameters. When efficiency of all cements was evaluated, direct relationship between the post region and push-out bonding strength was not observed.

이 연구의 목적은 단일 접착 과정의 레진 시멘트인 Maxcem을 제조사의 지시대로 사용하는 것과 부가적인 산 부식과정을 추가하여 접착을 시도함에 있어 그 임상적 접착 강도를 알아보고자 하는 것이었다. 치아 우식에 이환되지 않은 120개의 상하악 구치를 사용하여 간접 수복물 제작을 위한 와동을 형성하고 금인레이와 간접복합레진(Synfony) 수복물을 제작하였다. 실험군은 수복물의 종류마다 사용한 시멘트의 종류와 방식에 따라 세 군으로 분류하였다. 최종적으로 102개의 와동 시편에 수복물의 접착을 위해 Maxcem을 사용한 군, 인산으로 부가적인 산부식 후에 Maxcem을 사용한 군, 그리고 대조군으로 다단계 전-산부식 (total-etching) 시멘트인 Variolink II 를 사용하여 접착한 실험군으로 각 군 당 17개씩으로 분류하였다. 자체 제작한 만능시험기로 push-out 접착 강도를 측정하고 와동 접착 표면적으로 나누어 단위 면적당 결합력으로 산출하였다. SPSS 12.0K 프로그램을 사용하여 one-way ANOVA와 95% 신뢰도의 Scheffe's Test로 각 실험군의 접착력를 비교하였다. 이 실험의 조건하에서는 Maxcem을 사용할 때, 간접수복물의 종류에 관계없이, 제조사의 지시 외에 부가적인 산부식 과정은 접착 강도를 감소시키는 역효과를 유발하였으며 더욱 강한 접착력을 필요로 하는 경우는 다단계 접착제를 사용하여 산부식 과정과 접착제 적용, 시멘트 도포 등을 분리하여 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the parameters of bonding performance to root dentin, including push-out bond strength and dentinal tubular biomineralization, of a hydraulic bioceramic root-end filling material premixed with dimethyl sulfoxide (Endocem MTA Premixed) in comparison to a conventional powder-liquid-type cement (ProRoot MTA). Materials and Methods: The root canal of a single-rooted premolar was filled with either ProRoot MTA or Endocem MTA Premixed (n = 15). A slice of dentin was obtained from each root. Using the sliced specimen, the push-out bond strength was measured, and the failure pattern was observed under a stereomicroscope. The apical segment was divided into halves; the split surface was observed under a scanning electron microscope, and intratubular biomineralization was examined by observing the precipitates formed in the dentinal tubule. Then, the chemical characteristics of the precipitates were evaluated with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDS) analysis. The data were analyzed using the Student's t-test followed by the Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.05). Results: No significant difference was found between the 2 tested groups in push-out bond strength, and cohesive failure was the predominant failure type. In both groups, flake-shaped precipitates were observed along dentinal tubules. The EDS analysis indicated that the mass percentage of calcium and phosphorus in the precipitate was similar to that found in hydroxyapatite. Conclusions: Regarding bonding to root dentin, Endocem MTA Premixed may have potential for use as an acceptable root-end filling material.

Objectives: Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) surface treatment of fiber posts has been reported to increase bond strength of fiber posts to resin cements. However, residual oxygen radicals might jeopardize the bonding procedure. This study examined the effect of three antioxidant agents on the bond strength of fiber posts to conventional and self-adhesive resin cements. Materials and Methods: Post spaces were prepared in forty human maxillary second premolars. Posts were divided into five groups of 8 each: G1 (control), no pre-treatment; G2, 10% $H_2O_2$ pre-treatment; G3, G4 and G5. After $H_2O_2$ application, Hesperidin (HES), Sodium Ascorbate (SA) or Rosmarinic acid (RA) was applied on each group respectively. In each group four posts were cemented with Duo-Link conventional resin cement and the others with self-adhesive BisCem cement. Push-out test was performed and data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and tukey's post-hoc test (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: There was a statistically significant interaction between the cement type and post surface treatment on push-out bond strength of fiber posts (p < 0.001, F = 16). Also it was shown that different posts' surface treatments significantly affect the push-out bond strength of fiber posts (p = 0.001). $H_2O_2$ treated posts (G2) and control posts (G1) cemented with Duo-link showed the highest ($15.96{\pm}5.07MPa$) and lowest bond strengths ($6.79{\pm}3.94$) respectively. Conclusions: It was concluded that $H_2O_2$ surface treatment might enhance the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with conventional resin cements. The effect of antioxidants as post's surface treatment agents depends on the characteristics of resin cements used for bonding procedure.

근관치료된 치아의 수복에서 fiber post 크기와 포스트 공간의 직경이 일치하지 않은 경우, 포스트 공간은 두꺼운 레진 시멘트로 채워지게 된다. 레진 시멘트가 두꺼워지면 시멘트 내에 기포가 형성되어 포스트 분리가 발생되기 쉽다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법은 composite resin을 이용하여 fiber post를 relining하는 것이다. 이렇게 형성된 해부학적 포스트는 포스트 공간에 잘 적합하고 시멘트의 두께를 감소시킨다. 이 연구의 목적은 relining 과정과 임상 과정의 간소화를 위해 사용되고 있는 luting agents 종류에 따른 fiber post의 push-out 결합 강도를 평가하는 것이다. 42개의 발치된 치아는 6개의 그룹(n=7)으로 나누어졌다. (A1: relined fiber post를 Luxacore/all-bond 2로 합착, A2: non-relined fiber post를 Luxacore/all-bond 2로 합착. B1: relined fiber post를 Calibra/XP-bond로 합착. B2: non-relined fiber post를 Calibra/XP-bond로 합착. C1: relined fiber post를 RelyX Unicem으로 합착. C2: non-relined fiber post를 RelyX Unicem으로 합착.) Push-out 결합 강도는 relining procedure와 cement type의 상호작용에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. relined fiber post 그룹이 non-relined fiber post 그룹보다 더 높은 결합 강도를 가지며 fiber post relining 과정은 결합강도에 유의한 영향을 가진다.(p<0.05) Luting agent에 따라 모든 그룹에서 RelyX Unicem의 결합강도가 Luxacore/All-bond 2와 Calibra/XP bond에 의한 것보다 유의하게 더 높았다(p<0.05).

PURPOSE. To compare the push-out bond strength of feldspar and zirconia-based ceramic inlays bonded to dentin with different resin cements following simulated aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Occlusal cavities in 80 extracted molars were restored in 2 groups (n=40) with CAD/CAM feldspar (Vitablocs Trilux forte) (FP) and zirconia-based (Ceramill Zi) (ZR) ceramic inlays. The fabricated inlays were luted in 2 subgroups (n=20) with either etch-and-bond (RelyX Ultimate Clicker) (EB) or self-adhesive (RelyX Unicem Aplicap) (SA) resin cement. Ten inlays in each subgroup were subjected to 3,500 thermal cycles and 24,000 loading cycles, while the other 10 served as control. Horizontal 3 mm thick specimens were cut out of the restored teeth for push out bond strength testing. Bond strength data were statistically analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's comparisons at ${\alpha}=.05$. The mode of ceramic-cement-dentin bond failure for each specimen was also assessed. RESULTS. No statistically significant differences were noticed between FP and ZR bond strength to dentin in all subgroups (ANOVA, P=.05113). No differences were noticed between EB and SA (Tukey's, P>.05) bonded to either type of ceramics. Both adhesive and mixed modes of bond failure were dominant for non-aged inlays. Simulated aging had no significant effect on bond strength values (Tukey's, P>.05) of all ceramic-cement combinations although the adhesive mode of bond failure became more common (60-80%) in aged inlays. CONCLUSION. The suggested cement-ceramic combinations offer comparable bonding performance to dentin substrate either before or after simulated aging that seems to have no adverse effect on the achieved bond.

The purpose of this study was to compare post cementation efficacy according to the different adhesive systems and cement delivery methods. A total of 40 extracted human single-rooted premolar teeth were randomly divided in four groups according to the two luting agents of Unicem applicap (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) or Variolink II (Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) and cement delivery methods of direct cement application or lentulo spiral application. After restoration using glass?fiber posts, the samples were embedded in acrylic resin. Three sections of 2 mm thickness were prepared from each specimen, and the post in each section was subjected to a push-out test. The data were analysed statistically at significant level of 95%. The Unicem had significantly higher push-out bond strength than Variolink and the lentulo spiral application made higher bond strength (p<0.05). Adhesive failure between cement and dentin was predominant in all groups. The Unicem of self-etch system and cement delivery using lentulo spiral showed clinically acceptable and comparable bonding strength for the fiber post.

The interfacial bonding energy between laser surface treated HA layer and Ti alloy substrate was investigated using a mechanical push-out tester. The initial slope of shear-stress and reduced displacement curves, maximum interfacial bond strength and bonding energy were calculated from results of the push-out test. The calculated initial slpoes are 38 MPa for the Ti alloy(A), 65 MPa for the sandblast finished specimen(B), 95 MPa for the HA plasma spray coated specimen and 49 MPa for the laser surface treated specimen(D). The maximum interfacial bonding strength are 3 MPa for the A, 19 MPa for the B, 20 MPa for the C, 10 MPa for the D. The interfacial bonding energies are $3.3\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the A, $15.5\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the B, $15.6\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the C and $18.3\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the D. Microscopic observation shows that the breaking of the laser treated specimen had been occured through the boundary between HA layer and polymer resin, but the untreated specimen had been occured through the inside of HA coating layer.

The bonding efficacy of steel I-section embedded in metakaolin-fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (MK-FA-GC) was investigated in this study. Push-out tests were conducted on nine column specimens to evaluate the influence of compressive strength of concrete, embedded length of steel I-section, thickness of concrete cover, and stirrup ratio on the bond performance. Failure patterns, load-slip relationships, bond strength, and distribution of bond stress among the specimens were analyzed. The characteristic bond strength of geopolymer concrete (GC) increased with higher compressive strength, longer embedded steel section length, thicker concrete cover, and larger stirrup ratio. Empirical formulas for bond strength at the loading end were derived based on experimental data and a bond-slip constructive model for steel-reinforced MK-FA-GC was proposed. The calculated bond-slip curves showed good agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, numerical simulations using ABAQUS software were performed on column specimens by incorporating the suggested bond-slip relationship into connector elements to simulate the interface behavior between MK-FA-GC and the steel section. The simulation results showed a good correlation with the experimental findings.

For the design of shear connection for the composite precast concrete slabs. it is necessary to investigate its strength, stiffness, slip capacity and fatigue endurance. For theme purposes, push-out tests were performed with variations of the stud shank diameter and the compressive strength of the mortar. From the experimental studies, it could be observed that the deformation of the shear studs in a full-depth precast concrete slabs were greater than those in a cast-in-place slabs. The static strength of the shear connections obtained agree approximately with those evaluated from the tensile strength of the stud shear connectors owing to the effect of the bedding layer between the slabs and the beams. An empirical equation for the initial shear stiffness of a shear connection was also proposed. On the basis of the push-out tests, a full-scale composite beams with 8.0m span was designed and fatigue tests were carried out to study the behaviour of the stud shear connection and its effects on the flexural behaviour of the beam. The bonding arid friction between the concrete slab and the steel beam considerably increased the fatigue endurance of the shear connection.
