Abstract
The following article from Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, “Push-out bond strengths of two fiber post types bonded with different dentin bonding agents” by Fulya Toksoy Topcu, Ugur Erdemir, Gunes Sahinkesen, Emre Mumcu, Esra Yildiz, and Ibrahim Uslan, published online on January 20, 2010, in Wiley Online Library (www.wiley onlinelibrary.com ), DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.31590, and in Volume 93(2), pp. 359–366, has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor-in-Chief, Jeremy L. Gilbert, and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
While the hypothesis, materials and methods, and results of this work have not been called into question, the paper contained unattributed overlap with Akgungor G, Akkayan B. Influence of dentin bonding agents and polymerization modes on the bond strength between translucent fiber posts and three dentin regions within a post space. J Prosthet Dent. 2006 May;95(5):368–378.
This error was not identified by the authors prior to publication and does not have a direct impact on the merits of the experimental work described.
