ResumoAbstract This laboratory study compared the retention of prefabricated posts in well‐fitting and loose‐fitting post canals using different cement materials. Eighty‐three human teeth were prepared for post placement. One of zinc phosphate cement, polycarboxylate cement, glass ionomer cement or resin cement was used to cement each post in place. A tensile force was applied to remove each post and the separation force was recorded. Posts cemented with the resin cement were the most difficult to dislodge. Posts cemented into loose‐fitting canals exhibited greater resistance to dislodgement than posts cemented into well‐fitting canals irrespective of the type of cements used.
