Despite excellent outcomes with cemented tibial components in total knee arthroplasty, it still is debated whether the tibial stem should be cemented and what the optimal tibial stem design should be. Proponents of full cementation of the tibial stem and component state that better short-term and long-term component fixation is achieved when full cementation is used. Advocates for surface cemen...

OBJECTIVES To compare the finger pressure applied by dentists during cementation and to examine the effect of gender and time of day on finger pressure. METHODS Fifteen dentists (9 males, 6 females) formed a study group and 10 master dies in premolar shape and Turcom Cera all-ceramic crowns were prepared to measure the maximum finger pressure applied by dentists during cementation. The dentis...

background:  patients undergoing cemented hip hemiarthroplasty may develop bone cement implantation syndrome (bcis) which is a leading cause of intraoperative complications. the purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular changes during cemented hip hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.   methods:  cemented hip hemiarthroplasty was performed on 72 patients with femoral neck fracture. a...

The rate of copper II/zinc cementation from copper sulphate solutions in the absence and in the presence of methanol (CH3OH) and dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) has been studied and the reaction was found to follow first-order kinetics. The influence of several parameters on the course of the reaction, such as cylinder rotation speed, initial concentration of Cu ions, temperature and concentration o...

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of ground conditions on microbial cementation in cohesionless soils. Since the method of microbial cementation is still at the experimental stage, for its practical use in the field, a number of laboratory experiments are required for the quantification of microbial cementation under various ground conditions, such as relative densities, rel...

This article describes the different materials and techniques that are used for adhesive cementation. Particular attention is given to treatments suitable for dentin, as well as the selection of surface treatments for various restorative materials. Factors related to the durability and stability of the adhesive process, as well as the clinical and laboratory procedures required for cementation,...
