Fiber post retention is associated with the degree of adaptation to the root wall with different luting agents. However, there is no unanimity regarding the superiority of one cement over the other. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of fiberglass posts cemented to bovine dentin with different luting agents. Thirty bovine teeth were selected, and their crowns removed below the cementoen...
