Abstract
Objective: evaluate the effect of different luting protocols on the bond strength of glass fiber posts.Methods: Forty human canine teeth were randomly divided into four groups: Relyx U100/Endofill (R+E), Panavia F2.0/EndoFill (P+E), Relyx U100/Sealer 26 (R+S), Panavia F2.0/Sealer 26 (P+S). After the luting procedures, the samples were subjected to thermocycling (6.000 cycles; at 5±1 ºC and 55±1 ºC) and then sectioned in a precision cutting machine (Isomet 1000 Precision Saw) into 4 cuts of 2mm regarding to different deepness: Apical, Medium Apical, Medium Coronal, and Coronal. Next, the cuts were submitted to push-out test in a universal testing machine (EMIC) with load cell of 50N, at crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min.Results: They were obtained according to the different luting deepness (p≥0.05) (MPa): 1) apical – R+E (1.35±1.28), P+E (2.70±0.89), R+S (3.89±0.70), P+S (4.30±1.02); 2) medium apical – R+E (1.38±1.28), P+E (2.98±1.43), R+S (4.02±1.14), P+S (4.49±1.82); 3) medium coronal – R+E (2.46±0.73), P+E (3.72±0.78), R+S (4.85±0.71), P+S (6.14±0.73); 4) coronal R+E (5.59±1.08), P+E (5.74±1.06), R+S (6.71±1.07), P+S (7.40±1.51).Conclusion: There was a relationship between the luting protocol of the glass fiber post and the endodontic cement. Eugenol plays an important role inside the dentinal tubules by interfering negatively in the bond strength to root dentin.

Summary
The main goal of an intraradicular post is to provide adequate retention for the core material when a reduced crown remnant is present. Glass fiber posts associated with resin composites have been a clinical option chosen by dentists because of its easiness and low cost, providing a fast and effective clinical result with biomechanical benefits to tooth remnant [1,2]. Among the main problems found, it can be cited: control of humidity, acid etching procedure, amount and evaporation of the adhesive agent, and light intensity at the most apical portions of root canals. These problems may influence significantly on the physical and biological properties of the restorations [3]. Prefabricated posts show an interaction with the adhesive systems resulting in higher retention, easier luting procedure, and simpler technique [5,6,7]
