Aim of the study : The purpose of the current study is to evaluate push out bond strength of different surface treated glass fiber reinforced composite posts using different adhesive systems.
Methods: A total of 60 specimens have been used in this study; they have been classified into 3main groups, each of 20 specimens classified according to the surface treatment: Group I: did not receive surface treatment (control group < strong>. (Group II: received Sandblasting surface treatment with50μm aluminum oxide particles. Group III: treated with phosphoric acid 37%. Each group has been subdivided into 2 subgroups, each of 10 specimens according to type of adhesive system used as following: Subgroup a: received rely X ultimate adhesive. Subgroup b: received multilink N adhesive.
Loading have been performed on a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of l.0 mm/min until bond failure occurred
Results: 1- the bond strength values for Rely X Ultimate group higher than Multilink group < em>. 2-Sandblasting treatment recorded the highest value for bond strength, while the lowest values were recorded in phosphoric acid.
Conclusion:1- Rely X Ultimate resin cement showed better push out bond strength than Multilink adhesive system. 2- Sandblasting achieved high bond strength than phosphoric acid as the surface treatments.
