The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatment method on the bond strength of FRC posts.Methods: 40 extracted mandibular premolars with minimum root length of 14 mm were cut from 1 mm above CEJ and root canal treatment was performed on them. Randomly divided into 2 groups: Group 1 surface treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) 24%, group 2 surface treatment with hydrofluoric acid (HF) 10% and posts in 2 groups cemented with Luxacore cement. The push-out test was performed on 2 mm sections from cervical, medial and apical areas of roots in universal testing machine with speed of 1 mm/min. Bond strength was calculated in megapascal. The failure mode of the specimens was analyzed under stereomicroscope at ×40 magnification. The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 21 and the results were evaluated by ANOVA, chi2 tests at the significance level of p<0. 05.Results: Bond strength was 22. 13 ± 10. 12 and 21. 27 ± 9. 45 megapascal in group HF and H2O2 respectively. There was no significant difference between two surface treatment methods and bond strength. The most mode of fracture was in cementum-dentin.Conclusion: Based on the result of the present study, surface treatment can affect the bond strength of FRC posts. Further studies are recommended.
