Abstrakt: Context: Excessive dentine wear during postremoval can occur due to the adhesion between the cement and the post.
Aim: The aim is to evaluate dentine wear and microcrack occurrence following the removal of intraradicular fiberglass posts that were previously cemented with two types of resin cement.
Methods: Distal roots ( n = 38) of lower molars were instrumented, filled, prepared for intraradicular postinstallation, and divided into two groups according to the cement used for the posts: RelyX ARC or RelyX U200. The posts were removed through abrasion using ultrasonic diamond tips, after which the degrees of dentine wear (volume/mm 3 ) and microcrack formation were assessed using microcomputed tomographic imaging.
Statistical Analysis Used: The Mann-Whitney U ( P ≤ 0.05) and Chi-squared tests ( P ≤ 0.05) were used.
Results: After the removal of the posts, no statistically significant difference in root canal volume or microcrack occurrence was observed between the groups ( P > 0.05). The procedure produced significant dentine wear regardless of the type of cement used ( P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The removal of fiberglass posts caused extensive dentine wear but did not influence microcrack occurrence. The type of resin cement used did not affect the dentine loss or microcrack appearance that resulted from fiberglass postremoval.
Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
