[Traction resistance of cast metal posts with and without retention, cemented with zinc phosphate cement in smooth and rough canals]. / Avaliação da resistência à remoção por tração de núcleos metálicos fundidos com e sem retenção, fixados com cimento de fosfato de zinco em condutos lisos e com retenções.

The purpose of this research was to test the traction resistance of cast posts and cores with and without roughness cemented with zinc phosphate cement in cuspids roots, with smooth and roughness canals walls. From the results of the tests and statistical analysis there was significant difference between roughness posts cemented in root canals with roughness walls and smooth posts cemented in smooth root canals. It was also analyzed, the retention of cast crows cemented on roughness posts and canals and it was concluded that posts are responsible for crows retention, when the cores were done at the correct way.
