Postspace pretreatment with 17% ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, 7% maleic acid, and 1% phytic acid on bond strength of fiber posts luted with a self-adhesive resin cement.

Context: Pretreatment of radicular dentin with chelating agents improves the bond strength of fiber-posts luted with a self-adhesive resin cement.

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the three chelating agents as final rinse of the postspace on bond strength of fiber posts luted with a self-adhesive resin cement.

Settings And Design: This is an laboratory study.
