BACKGROUND The luting cements must withstand masticatory and parafunctional stresses in the warm and wet oral environment. Mouth temperature and the temperature of the ingested foods may induce thermal variation and plastic deformation within the cements and might affect the strength properties. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of temperature on the compressive and diame...

Performance of OPC and composite cements including limestone ternary blended concretes pastes exposed to natural carbonation, leaching, freeze-thaw (FT) cycles their coupling were investigated. The combined regime is analogous the Capillary suction, internal damage Freeze-thaw (CIF) test. test results showed that cement are more susceptible surface scaling damage. Microanalysis complementary re...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro color agreement between nanofluorapatite ceramic discs (e.max Ceram / Ivoclar Vivadent / A2) associated with try-in pastes and those bonded with resin cements (Vitique / DMG/ try-in shade A2½ and cement shade A2½, Variolink II / Ivoclar Vivadent / try-in shade A1 and cement shade A1, and Choice 2 / Bisco / try-in shade A2 and cement shade A2), ...

Physiological fluids will be in contact with the implant components from the first moments after a surgery. Therefore, the study of the effect of water on the properties of the bone cements that are part of the arthroplasty procedure is of critical importance to predict the long-term performance of the whole system. In our research group, we have developed a novel concept, the hydrophilic, part...

AIM To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of two cements with a similar chemical composition to mineral trioxide aggregate and to attempt to improve their properties by producing a composite material. METHODOLOGY Two cement types were used: a mixture of calcium sulpho-aluminate cement and Portland cement (CSA) and calcium fluoro-aluminate cement (CFA) in conjunction with an admix...

Polymethylmethacrylate-based (PMMA) bone cements containing functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared, and the thermal properties of the resultant nanocomposite cements were characterized in accordance with the international standard for acrylic resin cements. The aim of this study was to determine the peak temperatures during the polymerization reaction in PMMA bone cement by thermo...

In this study, a protocol for synthesising β-C2S using K2SO4 as dopant has been reported. Quantitative X-Ray diffraction was used to characterise synthesised samples. It observed that it is possible synthesise with high purity (>96 wt%) and limit the formation of free lime below 0.5 wt% protocol. Unreactive γ-C2S main secondary phase present in sintered Isothermal calorimetry studies were condu...
