Monomineralic, abiotic marine cements formed in low-latitude Phanerozoic reefs provide the direction and amplitude of secular variation of õ•3C and õ•80 in marine calcite and defines two end member compositions580 to 360 my (-7 to-5 %0 õ•8Om)B) and 360 to present (-3 to 0 %0 õ•8Om)B). Sampling of the Devono-Carboniferous tran ition (375-320 my) at several global sites reveals a rapid change in ...

This study compared the flexural strengths and bond strengths to dentin and enamel of two brands of silver-reinforced glass ionomers with their respective unfilled glass-ionomer cements for luting. The results led to the following conclusions. 1. No significant differences in bond strengths to tooth substrates were recorded between silver-reinforced and unfilled glass ionomers. 2. Although the ...

INTRODUCTION Several commercially available luting agents are used to cement the dental restorations such as intra-coronal, extra-coronal, and fixed partial dentures. Tensile bond strength (TBS) and accurate marginal fit are the essential factors to determine the good clinical results in fixed prosthesis. The retentivity of the luting cements is assessed by their adhesive capacity over the toot...

The mechanical properties of polycarboxylate cements containing 20 massO/o of fbur kinds of aluminoborate whiskers with ditTercnt fiber lengths and diameters were eva]uated. Bending strength of the cements inereased with increase in fiber length, whereby the strength ol' the cement with the longest fiber was about two times greater than that ef whisker-free cement, The diametral tensile strengt...

INTRODUCTION Many of highly-alkaline dental materials have some adverse effects on physical properties of dentin. As basic substances, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), calcium hydroxide (CH) and the new endodontic material, calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, may adversely affect dentin. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of long-term application of CEM cement, MT...

iatrogenic perforation of the furcation area in multi-rooted molars during preparation of the access cavity can potentially lead to tooth extraction. the present case report describes the nonsurgical endodontic management of an extensive pulp chamber floor perforation in a first mandibular molar with calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement. the perforation was chemically cleaned and then physical...
