Influence of the type of endodontic sealer on glass fiber post adhesion: literature review

Maria José Mayara de Oliveira SOARES, Emmanuel João Nogueira Leal SILVA, Nádia de Souza FERREIRA

Introduction: Glass fiber posts are widely used when endodontically treated teeth present great structural loss and require support for coronal reconstruction. Complete adhesion of the post to the root canal wall is fundamental for the success of this restoration. Endodontic sealer residues that remain on the dentin walls, even after preparation for cementation, may negatively interfere with the adhesion and contribute for post displacement. This literature review evaluated the effect of different endodontic sealers and the time between obturation and post cementation on the bond strength. Methods: This literature review included 21 studies that analyzed the influence of endodontic sealers on the adhesion of glass fiber posts, among which 9 added the variable time in their analysis. Results: Teeth filled with resin-based sealers showed higher post push-out bond strength during testing. There seems to be predominance of lower adhesion values when the posts are cemented immediately after filling with eugenol-containing sealers. Conclusions: The type of endodontic sealer and period between obturation and post cementation can affect the bond strength between root canal wall and the glass fiber post.
