A comparison of the shrinkage of commercial bone cements when mixed under vacuum.

چکیده
The outcome of a cemented hip arthroplasty is partly dependent on the type of cement which is used. The production of an interface gap between the stem and the cement mantle as a result of shrinkage of the cement, may be a factor involved. Palacos R, Palacos LV (both with gentamicin), CMW 1, CMW 2, CMW Endurance (CMWE) and Simplex were prepared under vacuum and allowed to cure overnight in similar cylinders. The next day this volume was determined by the displacement of water. Shrinkage varied between 3.82% and 7.08% with CMWE having the lowest and Palacos LV the highest. This could be a factor to consider when choosing a cement for a shape-closed stem.

Comparison of various vacuum mixing systems and bone cements as regards reliability, porosity and bending strength.
BACKGROUND There are several vacuum mixing systems on the market which are arbitrarily used with various bone cements in clinical work. Hardly any studies have been done on the performance and handling of these systems in combination with different cement brands. MATERIAL AND METHODS We therefore tested 6 vacuum mixing systems (Palamix, Summit, Cemvac, Optivac, Vacumix, MixOR) in combination ...

This controlled study compared the strength and porosity of 48 polymethylmethacrylate cement-implant constructs prepared with open bowl versus vacuum mix technique. Forty-eight blast finished stainless steel rods of 13 mm diameter were implanted with centralizers into 17-mm inner diameter tubes that had been retrograde filled with polymethylmethacrylate cement. The eight cement preparations use...
متن کاملIn-vitro Comparison of the Antimicrobial Properties of Glass Ionomer Cements with Zinc Phosphate Cements
White spot lesions are observed in nearly 50% of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Long-lasting antibacterial properties of orthodontic cements can reduce this phenomenon. The aim of this research was to compare antimicrobial activity of three commercial glass ionomer cements with three commercial zinc phosphate cements, over time, against streptococcus mutans and candida albicans...
