Aim  To investigate and compare the displacement resistance of glass fibre reinforced composite (FRC) posts to root dentine after luting with different adhesive systems. Methodology  A total of 32 noncarious extracted human mandibular premolars were prepared for post‐cementation using the FRC Postec system (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and divided into four groups (n = 8). The posts in each group were luted with one or other of the following materials. Group 1: Variolink II/Excite DSC (etch‐and‐rinse, dual‐curing), group 2: Clearfil Esthetic Cement/ED Primer II (self‐etch, dual‐curing), group 3: Multilink/Multilink Primer (self‐etch, chemical‐curing) and group 4: Multilink Sprint (self‐adhesive, dual‐curing). Specimens were sectioned to obtain slices with the post in the centre and with the root dentine overlaid by the autopolymerizing acrylic resin on each side. The displacement resistance was measured using a Universal Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm min−1. The displacement resistance of the specimens were calculated and expressed in MPa. Data were analysed with one‐way anova and post hoc Tukey’s test (P
