Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of H2O2 surface treatments on the bond strength between fiber posts and resin cement.Methods 25 POPO glass fiber posts were randomly separated into five groups: Group A (control; no treatment),Group B (silanization),Group C (etching with 10% H2O2 and silanization),Group D (etching with 20% H2O2 and silanization),Group E (etching with 30% H2O2 and silanization).The posts were positioned into a mold to allow adhesive resin cement to be inserted,and to form resin blocks.Then resin block was cut to obtain 1mmthick specimens.The pushout tests were done at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min with a universal testing machine until failure occurred and data were analyzed using oneway ANOVA.The failure mode of each specimen was observed with stereomicroscope.Results The micropushout bond strength values of fiber post from group A to group E: (12.36±1.66) MPa,(12.76±1.59) MPa,(16.10±2.55) MPa,(19.19±2.81) MPa,(21.95±2.95) MPa.Significant difference (P<0.05) was found between each two groups except for Group A and Group B (P>0.05).Conclusions Silanization as the only surface treatment did not improve the bond strength,but the combination of H2O2 and silanization can enhance the bond strength,and with the concentration increased,the bond strength increased.
