Abstract

Aim: Toevaluate the retention of glass fiber dental post embedded in three different types
of dual cure core materials namely, Luxacore Z, Compcore AF and Corecem.
Materials and method:Ninety prefabricated fiber reinforced posts (D.T. light Posts) were
taken and divided into three groups. The post surface was treated with silane coupling
agent (Monobond-S, Ivoclar-VivadentSchaan, Liechtenstein) as per the manufacturer’s
instructions. Bonding agent (Prime and Bond-Dentsply, U.S.A.) was applied on post
surface with brush and cured according to manufacturer’s instructions.Each of the three
core build-up materials were manipulated according to the respective manufacturer’s
instructions and a core of 4 mm core height was prepared by using prefabricated matrix.
Thirty specimens for each core build up materials were made.
