Enamel surface treated with zinc polyacrylate dental cement.

The surface of tooth enamel that had been left in touch with the liquid or the mix of a zinc polyacrylate dental cement was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Both treatments produced lesions on the enamel and were represented by unevenly distributed microcavities of varying extension. Topically applied SnF2 did not modify the aspect of the treated surface.

Acid Etching, Dental

Enamel corrosion produced by zinc phosphate dental cement.

The application of a phosphoric acid solution or of a zinc phosphate cement mix on enamel surface causes alteration of its structure. The lesions of the enamel are cavities of irregular shapes that might retain debris. In view of the high solubility of disintegration of the cement, those cavities can be considered potential sites of plaque installation and initiation of carious processes.
