The aim of the study was to evaluate the adhesive forces for removing iatrogenically fractured endodontic nickel-titanium instruments using a modified tube technique with various pre-treatment agents in combination with a light-curing composite. 120 Nickel-Titanium-Mtwo instruments were cut at its parallel shaft and fixed in a vise with an overlap of 2 mm. The surfaces were treated with different agents: A) GC Metalprimer; B) Prime and Bond active; C) NaOCl (3%); D) citric acid (15%); E) phosphoric acid (37%) and group (F) was not pretreated (control). One end of a matching microtube, filled with light-curing composite, was placed over the instrument and a transmitting glass fiber inserted from the opposite side guaranteed polymerization. Pull-out tests (1 mm/min) were performed and failure load was measured digitally. Data were statistically analyzed using the ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls tests. Interfaces were subjected to SEM analysis. Prime and Bond active created significant higher pull-out values (mean 30.5 N) compared to all other groups ( p &lt; 0.001) and Metalprimer (18.5 N) was significantly superior to the untreated (12.6 N) and NaOCl (11.7 N) group ( p &lt; 0.05). No significant differences were obtained between the other groups ( p &gt; 0.05). Thus, adhesives improved bonding to fractured NiTi instruments.
