In this study, bond strengths of four cement systems--Comspan resin composite luting cement with and without Gluma dentin bond, Fleck's zinc phosphate cement, and Ketac-Cem glass ionomer--used in cementing cast post-cores were investigated. Gluma appears to enhance the bond at the post/tooth interface, resulting in decreased variability and increased strength.
