ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND While several tests can be used in the laboratory evaluation of composite resin-based cement materials, the push-out test remains the most prevalent. Due to difficulties in sample preparation, as well as a highly complex procedure, we attempted to develop an alternative method for testing the bond strength of dental resin cement materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six experimental samples of 2 dual-cure resin cements and 1 fiber post system were prepared for the 2 testing procedures the push-out test and the modified Microbond test. The degree of monomer conversion was measured by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. RESULTS The push-out test results indicated that the bond strength of dual-cure resin cement differs depending on the tooth root region to which it is applied (p<0.05), In addition, our findings show that Variolink II exhibits a much lower bond strength relative to RelyX ARC. These findings were confirmed by the modified Microbond test results. The monomer conversion rate results indicate average conversion rates of 85.81% and 61.35% for RelyX ARC and Variolnik II, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms the practical utility of the modified Microbond test in the assessment of bond strength of dental cement resin-based materials. The proposed test method is particularly useful given that, relative to the push-out test, it requires a much smaller number of preparation and execution steps, thus reducing the potential for introducing errors, while increasing the reliability of the obtained findings.
