OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the extrusion bond values of fiber post to radicular dentin when disinfected using different final irrigants lemon garlic extract (LGE), riboflavin (RFP) activated by PDT (photodynamic therapy), and Q-mix 2-in-1.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were decoronated. Endodontic treatment was performed, and the canals were continually irrigated with normal saline, dried with paper points, and obturated. Post space was prepared by removing gutta-percha using peso-reamers. All specimens were randomly allocated into four groups based on the final irrigant used. Specimens in Group 1 irrigated with: 5.25% NaOCl+17% EDTA, group 2: 5.25% NaOCl+Q-mix 2-in-1, group 3: 5.25% NaOCl+RFP, and group 4: 5.25% NaOCl+LGE. Following final irrigation, a fiber post was placed in the canal space and luted. Samples were sectioned and each section was placed in a universal testing machine to assess bond values. Debonded samples were assessed for failure modes, EBS and modes of failure. For comparisons among groups, the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and the Post-Hoc Tukey HSD test were used keeping the level of significance at p=0.05.

RESULTS: The cervical section of samples in group 2 (NaOCL+Qmix) (7.11±0.81 MPa) exhibited the maximum value of EBS. However, the apical section of samples in group 3 (5.25% NaOCl+RFP) (3.33±0.26 MPa) displayed minimum extrusion bond values. Group 3 specimens in which final irrigation was performed with RFP established significantly lower bond integrity values than all the other investigated groups coronal (3.77±0.13 MPa), middle (3.60±0.41 MPa), and apical (3.33±0.26 MPa) (p<0.05). Intragroup comparison analysis, the coronal and middle root sections of all the experimental groups displayed comparable outcomes of EBS (p>0.05). However, near the apical section of the root, the bond strength of all the groups declined considerably.

CONCLUSIONS: Q-mix 2-in-1 as the final irrigant displayed the highest extrusion bond strength of fiber-reinforced composite to canal dentin at all three levels coronal, middle and apical. Lemon garlic extract has the potential to be used alternative to ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid as a final irrigant.
