COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF PUSH-OUT BOND STRENGTH OF FIBER POST LUTED INSIDE THE ROOT CANAL USING LIGHT CURE FLOWABLE COMPOSITE AND DUAL CURE RESIN - AN INVITRO STUDY

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare by means Push-Out test the difference in bond strength two different luting agents with fibre post, and effect anatomical root levels on each cement. Materials Methods: A total 40 freshly extracted maxillary central incisor canine teeth were included study. divided into groups twenty each, assigned Groups B according agent (light cure, dual cure) used cement post inside canal. After decoronation, 10 mm standardized spaces prepared root. Luting fiber posts carried out, as per manufacturers recommendations, respective agents. Each embedded a cuboidal plaster block sectioning out obtain three slices 2.5 thickness from coronal, middle apical aspect This followed testing Universal Testing Machine after storage period 2 months. recorded data subjected statistical analysis. Results: Significant differences found light cure flowable composite resin (p<.05) at levels. In inter-group comparison it that presents superior mean composite. Conclusion: It concluded is best material for push-out lower third than coronal activated cements. Also, performs better when shorter are used.
