To evaluate and compare the solubility and sorption of orthodontic bonding cements after immersion in different solutions, five different cements were used: a fluoride-containing resin composite, a light-cured glass ionomer cement, a light-cured resin composite, a paste-paste chemically cured resin composite, and a liquid-paste chemically cured resin composite. Five different solutions were emp...

First generation glass ionomer bone cement was introduced by Wilson and Kent in 1970s and used in dental procedures . In 1989 Hehl et al. reported their experiences of fixing incudostapedial joint with glass ionomer cement . After this study many authors have presented their glass ionomer bone cement ossiculoplasty series [3,5] They showed that very satisfactory hearing improvements can be obta...

objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the solubility of three luting cements in artificial saliva. materials and methods: twenty disks (10×4 mm) of polycarboxylate, zinc phosphate and glass ionomer cements were prepared according to manufactures’ instructions. after setting, they were desiccated and each ten specimens were immersed in artificial saliva with special ph (3 or 5), c...

The choice of luting agents contributes a significant role in retention of cement retained implant restorations and their precise tensile behaviour needs to be investigated further. The aim of present study is to estimate and compare the difference in tensile bond strength between implant abutments and all ceramic restorations luted with four luting agents. An experimental, single blinded, in-v...

The success rate of the given fixed partial denture and longevity is depend on tooth preparation usage luting cement under prosthesis. Luting plays an important role in maintaining or securing prosthesis cemented position. should be bio compatible, it non-irritating to underlying structure pulp, maintain adequate marginal seal. In recent days so many newer cements has been introduced dentistry,...

Glass-polyalkenoate cements, also known as glass-ionomer cements (GICs), are one of the most commonly used bio-interactive restorative dental materials, having been available since 1970s. With promotion minimally invasive operative dentistry (MID), and reduction in use amalgam worldwide, popularity these materials has grown significantly recent years. This article outlines basics clinical impor...

A comparison was made on the mechanical properties of three glass-ionomer cements, one of which was of experimental fiber-reinforcing and auto-curing type. Two others were proprietary auto-curing and light-activating cements. Biaxial flexure test was conducted on disc samples. Three-point bending test was also carried out on bar samples to determine modulus of elasticity and strength. All sampl...

ÖZET Aim: The purpose of this laboratory investigation was to evaluate the bond strength of temporary cement [(Provicem, Procem (eugenol-free), Tempbond (eugenol)] to commonly used core build-up materials. [Composite resin (President), Compomer (Dyract AP), glass-ionomer cement (Ionofil), resin modified glassionomer cement (Vitremer) (RMGIC)]. Materials and Methods: Sixty specimens were fabrica...
