Retention, marginal leakage, and cement solubility of provisional crowns cemented with temporary cement containing stannous fluoride.

PURPOSE: This in vitro study investigated the (1) retention and microleakage of provisional crowns cemented with temporary cements to which stannous fluoride (SnF2) was added, and (2) solubility of these cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Provisional crowns were constructed of acrylic resin with shoulder preparations for 12 molars. The crowns were luted with Tempbond, Tempbond NE, and Freegenol temporary cements, and also with SnF2 added to these cements. Specimens were thermocycled 100 times, stored for 6 days, and immersed in 0.5% basic fuschin. Seven days after cementation, crown removal (retention) tests were conducted. Marginal leakage was assessed using a five-level scale to score dye penetration. Solubility in water of the cements with and without SnF2 was assessed using cement disks. RESULTS: Freegenol was more retentive than the other cements. The incorporation of SnF2 significantly increased the retention capacity of Freegenol and Tempbond NE but had no effect on Tempbond. Tempbond showed significantly higher dye penetration than Freegenol. The addition of SnF2 did not alter the dye penetration of the cements. There were no significant differences in the solubility of the cements. However, the incorporation of SnF2 increased the solubility of Freegenol and Tempbond NE (P < .001) and Tempbond (P < .01). CONCLUSION: The addition of SnF2 increased the retention of temporary crowns cemented with Tempbond NE and Freegenol but did not affect the retention of those cemented with Tempbond. The marginal leakage of crowns cemented with the tested temporary cements with and without the incorporation of SnF2 was similar. However, the addition of SnF2 increased the solubility of the cements.

[Cement delivery depends on cement gun performance and cement viscosity].

AIM: Retrograde cement application is considered an integral part of the modern femoral cementing technique. Both pressurisation and rapid cement application reduce the risk of interface bleeding and blood laminations. In this context cement gun performance has received little attention. METHOD: In our study we examined the handling characteristics of four different cement delivery systems (Syringe, Vaku-Mix, Optivac and MixOR-System). To allow for cement viscosity as another variable, six different bone cements (Palacos R, Palamed G, CMW 1 Radiopak, CMW 2000, Simplex P, VersaBond) were used with each system. We recorded cement gun performance and measured extrusion times and maximum cement delivery speeds of all possible combinations (gun/mixing system plus cement type). RESULTS: The fastest cement application could be achieved with the Vaku-Mix cement delivery system and the corresponding cement gun (Mark III). With regard to cement type, VersaBond and prechilled Palacos yielded significantly shorter extrusion times than most of the other cements due to their lower viscosities. CONCLUSION: Our results have shown significantly different efficacies of commonly used cement delivery systems/guns in clinical routine. Improved systems should be provided by the suppliers.

In-vitro study of resin-modified glass ionomer cements for cementation of orthodontic bands. Isolation, surplus removal and humidity as factors influencing the bond strength between enamel, cement and metal.

The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate different light-cured and chemically cured resin-modified glass ionomer cements used for the cementation of orthodontic bands and to analyze various factors influencing the adhesive strength between enamel, cement and stainless steel. Four resin-modified glass ionomers (Fuji Ortho LC/GC, Fuji Duet/GC, Unitek Multi-Cure Glass Ionomer Orthodontic Band Cement/3M Unitek, Vitremer/3M) and 1 compomer (Band-Lok/Reliance) were examined. Flattened and polished bovine teeth embedded in polyurethane resin were used as enamel specimens. Before cementation, 50% of the specimens were moistened with the aerosol of an inhalation device, while the rest were dried with compressed air. Stainless steel cylinders (CrNi 18 10) were perpendicularly bonded onto the polished enamel using a custom-made cementation device and immediately topped with a pressure of 0.25 MPa. The cement was isolated with either Ketac Glaze/ESPE, Fuji Coat/GC, Cacao Butter/GC, Dryfoil/Jalenko or Final Varnish/VOCO, or was left uncoated. Eight minutes after the beginning of mixing, either the surplus cement was removed with a scalpel or surplus removal was simulated with ultrasound. After 24 hours storage in a water bath at 37 degrees C and 1,000 thermocycles the shear bond strength was determined. Significant differences with respect to the shear bond strength were found among the following cements, ranking from highest to lowest: Fuji Duet, Unitek cement > Fuji Ortho LC > Vitremer > Band-Lok. The application of a barrier coating significantly increased the shear bond strength of all cements except Fuji Ortho LC. The light-cured resin Ketac Glaze proved to be the most effective barrier coating. A dry enamel surface increased the bond strength of all investigated cements except Unitek cement. The use of ultrasound led to no significant reduction in shear bond strength in comparison with surplus removal with a scalpel.

The fixation of the cemented femoral component. Effects of stem stiffness, cement thickness and roughness of the cement-bone surface.

After cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) there may be failure at either the cement-stem or the cement-bone interface. This results from the occurrence of abnormally high shear and compressive stresses within the cement and excessive relative micromovement. We therefore evaluated micromovement and stress at the cement-bone and cement-stem interfaces for a titanium and a chromium-cobalt stem. The behaviour of both implants was similar and no substantial differences were found in the size and distribution of micromovement on either interface with respect to the stiffness of the stem. Micromovement was minimal with a cement mantle 3 to 4 mm thick but then increased with greater thickness of the cement. Abnormally high micromovement occurred when the cement was thinner than 2 mm and the stem was made of titanium. The relative decrease in surface roughness augmented slipping but decreased debonding at the cement-bone interface. Shear stress at this site did not vary significantly for the different coefficients of cement-bone friction while compressive and hoop stresses within the cement increased slightly.

Retention of cast posts cemented with zinc phosphate cement using different cementing techniques.

PURPOSE: This study compares the effect of different cementation techniques on the retention of cast posts and cores. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-four extracted single rooted human teeth were used in this study. After routine preparation of the root canals, the canal space was enlarged with reamers. Direct post patterns were made with acrylic resin. Castings were fabricated using Ni-Cr-Mb alloy. Zinc phosphate cement was used as a luting agent using 4 different methods of cement introduction to the root canal space. This created 4 treatment groups consisting of 6 teeth in each group. In Group A, the cement was applied over the posts only. For the specimens in Group B, the cement was introduced into the root canals with a spiral filler and applied over the posts. In Group C, cement was injected into the root canals and then applied over the posts. Finally, for the specimens in Group D, cement was injected into the root canals and a spiral was used to spread it into the root canals, and cement was also applied over the posts. After cementation, teeth were stored in saline solution. The tensile retentive force of cast posts was evaluated using the Instron testing machine (Instron, Canton, MA). RESULTS: The retention obtained by the 4 techniques differed significantly (p <.05). The highest tensile force to post dislodgment was observed in Group D, and the least was in Group A. Analysis of variance test revealed a highly significant difference between groups (p <.0001). According to the Fisher exact test, there was a significant increase in retention from Group A to Group D (p <.05). CONCLUSIONS: Under the conditions of this study, the injection of cement into a root canal space followed by the use of a spiral resulted in the highest level of post retention. Retention was reduced when cement was placed using a Lentulo spiral alone (Kerr/Sybron Corp, Romulus, MI), a Jiffy tube (Teledyne Water Pik, Allegheny Teledyne Co, Fort Collins, CO) alone, or by application to the post only.

Characterization of enamel and dentin surfaces after removal of temporary cement--effect of temporary cement on tensile bond strength of resin luting cement.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of temporary sealing with cement on the tensile bond strength of resin luting cement to tooth substrate. Five temporary cements and five resin luting cements were used. Six hundred bovine incisor teeth were randomly divided between each group. Effect of temporary sealing on the tensile bond strength of resin luting cement varied in accordance with the temporary cement used. Temporary sealing with both the eugenol-containing and the eugenol-free temporary cements decreased the tensile bond strength of resin luting cement. The tensile bond strength with one of the resin luting cements was most stable on both enamel and dentin pretreated with all temporary cements tested.

Effects of the initial temperature of acrylic bone cement liquid monomer on the properties of the stem-cement interface and cement polymerization.

It has been shown that preheating the femoral stem prior to insertion minimizes interfacial porosity at the stem-cement interface. In this study, the effects of methylmethacrylate monomer temperature prior to mixing on the properties of stem-cement interface and cement polymerization were evaluated for 4 degrees C, room temperature, and 37 degrees C using a test model and cementing techniques that simulated a clinical situation. The nature and extent of interfacial porosity of stem-cement interface was quantified, the static shear strength of the stem-cement interface determined, and the time and temperature of polymerization at the cement-bone interface were measured. Compared to RT monomer, preheating monomer to 37 degrees C produced higher polymerization temperatures and greater initial interfacial shear strength with an unchanged amount of interfacial porosity. Precooling monomer to 4 degrees C produced lower polymerization temperatures and decreased initial interfacial shear strength, with the amount of interfacial porosity unchanged compared to the RT group. Although clinical techniques of preheating or precooling bone cement have some effects on the properties of the stem-cement interface and cement polymerization, they do not appear to enhance implant fixation.

Effects of distal femoral centralizers on bone-cement in total hip arthroplasty. An experimental analysis of cement-centralizer bonding, cement void formation, and crack propagation.

Distal femoral centralizers of five different designs were inserted into model femoral stems and cemented into closed-ended tubes simulating a proximal femoral canal. Specimens underwent cyclic loading from 50 to 500 lb. for 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 million cycles. Each specimen was then sectioned transversely at multiple levels to obtain serial cross-sections, beginning at the femoral stem tip and proceeding distally so as to include the full extent of the centralizer. The area of each section occupied by a centralizer and the total amount of porosity present in the cement surrounding the centralizers were measured using an image analyzer. A dye penetrant was then applied to each section to visualize cement cracks and areas of incomplete bonding between cement and centralizers. The number, length, and location of cement cracks were catalogued for each section. No cement cracks or lack of bonding was observed at the interface between cement and centralizers. There was greater porosity in the specimens containing centralizers than in controls without centralizers (P < .05). The cement surrounding two of the centralizer designs had a significantly smaller amount of porosity than the cement surrounding the other three designs (P < .05). The number of cracks did not depend on whether a centralizer was used, the type of centralizer, or the cycling duration. In the control specimens, failure to adequately plug the centralizer receptacle hole in the stem tip resulted in very large cement voids.

Improvement of the cement mantle of the acetabular component with bone cement spacers. A retrospective analysis of 200 cemented cups.

A discontinuous or thin cement mantle of a socket is associated with increased polyethylene wear and cement fractures. In a retrospective radiological analysis we examined the quality of the cement mantle in cups without (group I = 100 Charnley-Mueller cups) and with (group II = 100 Contemporary cups, Howmedica) bone cement spacers. Under-filling (0-2 mm) and over-filling (> 8 mm) of the cement mantle were noted and classified. Statistics show significantly less under-filling of the cement mantle in group II than in group I (P = 0.001), in particular when comparing separate cup regions (thirds: P << 0.001). Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the frequency of overfilling with cement between groups I and II (P = 0.108). To sum up, utilization of an acetabular component with performed bone cement spacers considerably improves the quality of the cement mantle without additional cost.

Cement as a risk factor for deep-vein thrombosis. Comparison of cemented TKR, uncemented TKR and cemented THR.

A total of 110 total knee replacements (TKRs) was randomised to receive either a cemented or an uncemented prosthesis. Postoperative venography at five to seven days was used to compare the prevalence, site and size of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). We also compared the findings with those of postoperative venography in a group of patients with cemented total hip replacements (THRs). The total prevalence of DVT was significantly greater after uncemented (81%) than after cemented TKR (55%). Both knee groups had a significantly higher prevalence of DVT than in cemented hip replacements (32%). We found no difference in the proportion with proximal DVT in the three groups (14%, 15% and 16%). The median length of the thrombi was significantly greater after cemented (26.5 cm) than after uncemented TKR (11 cm) or after cemented THR (7 cm). This difference was mainly due to greater lengths of distal rather than proximal thrombi. We conclude that the use of cement may affect the formation of DVT after joint replacement, but does not appear to lead to an increased incidence.

Effects of cement, cement space, marginal design, seating aid materials, and seating force on crown cementation.

An evaluation of the effects of a die spacer, the seating force, the marginal design, seating aid materials, and the cement type during cementation was conducted. Two stainless steel dies were used: one with a 1 mm shoulder and the other with a shoulder and a 65-degree bevel. Ten stone dies were produced from each metal die and half were painted with four layers of die spacer. The crowns were waxed on the dies and cast in a nonprecious alloy, and the seating of crowns was measured with a micrometer before and after cementation. Comparisons were made between zinc phosphate and glass ionomer cements under two seating forces of 5 and 30 lb using an orangewood stick or E-Z-bite seating aid. ANOVA and the Newman-Keuls test revealed that the use of a die spacer, a heavier force of 30 lb, and glass ionomer cement significantly improved crown seating. The beveled preparation led to superior crown seating when the heavier force or glass ionomer cement was used. The orangewood stick and bite device had a similar effect on crown seating.

Revision of a failed cemented total hip prosthesis with insertion of an acetabular component without cement and a femoral component with cement. A five to eight-year follow-up study.

Sixty-one consecutive so-called hybrid revision total hip arthroplasties were performed in fifty-five patients by one surgeon, from 1986 through 1988, for mechanical failure of a cemented total hip prosthesis. In all of the patients, the acetabular and femoral components were revised to a porous-coated Harris-Galante acetabular component inserted without cement and an Iowa femoral component inserted with cement. Contemporary cementing techniques were used, but structural bone graft was not. The over-all prevalence of repeat revision for aseptic loosening was 0 per cent for the acetabular components and 3 per cent (two hips) for the femoral components. In addition, 2 per cent (one) of the acetabular components and 5 per cent (three) of the femoral components demonstrated radiographic evidence of loosening. In the forty-three patients (forty-nine hips) who were alive at an average of seventy-four months (range, sixty to ninety-five months) after the revision, none of the acetabular components and 2 per cent (one) of the femoral components were revised again for aseptic loosening. An additional 2 per cent (one) of the acetabular components and 6 per cent (three) of the femoral components were radiographically loose. Ninety-eight per cent (forty-one) of the forty-two living patients (98 per cent [forty-seven] of the forty-eight hips) who had a clinical examination at least five years after the revision had increased function; 90 per cent (thirty-eight) of these patients (forty-four [92 per cent] of the hips) were satisfied with the result. The group that had a hybrid revision was compared with a group of seventy patients (seventy-four hips) who had had a revision total hip arthroplasty with use of contemporary cementing techniques for both components. These revisions had been performed by the same surgeon, before he performed the hybrid revisions, and the prevalence of repeat revision of the acetabular component was 7 per cent (five hips) and that of the femoral component was 4 per cent (three hips). In addition, 16 per cent (twelve) of the acetabular components and 3 per cent (two) of the femoral components were radiographically loose. The comparison group was not a consecutive series, as only the patients who had had radiographs made five to eight years after the revision were evaluated. In the fifty-two such patients (fifty-six hips) who were alive at five years after the revision with cement (average duration of radiographic follow-up, seventy-seven months; range, sixty to ninety-nine months), 9 per cent (five) of the acetabular components and 5 per cent (three) of the femoral components were revised again for aseptic loosening. An additional 21 per cent (twelve) of the acetabular components and 4 per cent (two) of the femoral components were radiographically loose. The results of the present study demonstrated a significant improvement (p = 0.0001) in the survival of the acetabular component of so-called hybrid revision total hip arthroplasties compared with that of revision total hip arthroplasties with cement performed by the same surgeon and followed for a comparable period.

[Influence of types and surface treatment of dental alloy and film thickness of cements on bond strength of dental luting cements].

The goal of this study was to test the influence of the type and oxidation treatment of dental casting alloys on the tensile bond strength of luting cements. Also, the influence of film thickness of luting cements on the tensile bond strength of different dental casting alloys was examined. Four different luting cements (zinc phosphate, polycarboxylate, glass ionomer and adhesive resin cements) and four different dental casting alloys (Au-Ag-Cu, Ag-Pd, hardened Ag-Pd and Ni-Cr alloys) were used. Cylindrical alloy rods for the tensile bond strength test were casted, and then, top surfaces of the rods were cemented with each luting cement to the bottom surfaces of other rods, using the film thickness adjustment apparatus. The film thickness of luting cement was adjusted to 20, 30, 50, 75 or 100 microns. The tensile bond strengths of each cement to different casting alloys at each film thickness were measured one day after the rods had been cemented. The tensile bond strength of the zinc phosphate cement could not be determined in this study due to the separation of the alloy rods cemented with the zinc phosphate cement in water before the tensile test. The tensile bond strength to the adhesive resin cement to any alloy showed the greatest strength; however, that of the glass ionomer cement to any alloy was the lowest strength among the cements examined. The Ni-Cr alloy had the highest bond strength of any luting cement, compared to other alloys. The tensile bond strengths of luting cements significantly decreased with the increase in film thickness of cement layer. The adhesive resin cement had the greatest bond strength, and the glass ionomer cement was the lowest bond strength at any film thickness. The oxidation treatment significantly increased the bond strength of the adhesive resin cement to both Au-Ag-Cu and Ag-Pd alloys. The tensile bond strength of the adhesive resin cement was most dependent upon the film thickness of cement layer, and that of the polycarboxylate cement was least dependent upon the film thickness of cement layer among the cements examined. In addition, the oxidation treatment for precious alloys could be a factor contributing to the increase in the bond strength of the adhesive resin cement.

[Experimental study on the influence of various dental luting cements on the crown elevation during cementation].

Cementing manipulation is an important final step in adapting crown prosthesis to various oral environments. Preventing elevation of full cast crowns during cementation and improving adaptability of the margin after cementation are especially critical. The purpose of this article is twofold: 1) To clarify the relationship between the viscosity of dental cement and the extent of crown elevation, with special attention to viscosity changes occurring in various cement materials during the hardening process. 2) To study the effects on cemented-crown elevation of the space created between the abutment tooth and the crown, which may be partly related to dental cement behavior during cementation. A total of 4 cement materials was used: Elite Cement 100 as a zinc-phosphate cement, Super Bond C & B and Chemiace as MMA-resin cements containing 4-META, and Panavia EX as a phosphoricester cement. Viscosity was measured by means of MR-3 Soliquidmeter with a cone and plate system (Reheology Engineering). A brass material was processed to experimental crowns cemented to abutment teeth of brass. Crown elevation was measured by comparator (Measurescope Model II, Nikon). In addition, effects of the resistance of dental cement during cementation on crown elevation were studied for the sake of a comprehensive understanding of the elevation phenomenon. 1. Changes in dental-cement viscosity during the hardening process 1) Elite Cement 100 demonstrated the highest initial steady flow coefficient of viscosity. It was followed by Super Bond C & B, Chemiace, and Panavia EX, in that order. The t-test revealed significant differences among these cement materials (significance taken to be 1%). 2) As experimental temperature increased, the viscosity of all tested cement materials increased with progressive hardening. 3) With the passing of time, changes in torque, which represents a change pattern in viscosity, indicated that the tested cement materials have different viscosity-change patterns during the initial setting period. 4) From a clinical viewpoint, Super Bond C & B and Elite Cement 100 had very limited working time, whereas Chemiace and Panavia EX had relatively long working time. 2. Elevation after cementation of experimental crowns 1) For Elite Cement 100, mean elevation was 334microns, for Super Bond C & B 281 microns, for Chemiace 164microns, and for Panavia EX 130microns. The t-test revealed significant differences among these cement materials (significance taken to be 1%). 2) In all the cement materials tested, with a reliability of 99%, sequential correlation was observed between crown elevation and steady flow coefficient of viscosity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Retention of metal ceramic crowns cemented with resin cements: effects of preparation taper and height.

This study investigated the effect of varying crown preparation taper and height on the retention of metal ceramic crowns cemented with resin cements. In part 1, 32 extracted molars were divided into four groups. All groups received complete-veneer crown preparations, two with a 12-degree wall angle and two with a 35-degree wall angle. Crowns were cemented with zinc phosphate and dentin-bonded resin cements. After 24 hour water storage at 37 degrees C, the crowns were separated in tension. Crowns cemented with zinc phosphate were cleaned and recemented with another dentin-bonded resin cement and after similar storage, the crowns were separated. Mean separation forces of resin-cemented crowns were higher than those of crowns cemented with zinc phosphate cement. Mean separation force of 35-degree crowns cemented with one dentin-bonded resin cement was found to be significantly higher than for the 12-degree crowns cemented with zinc phosphate cement. In part II, 32 extracted molars were divided into two groups of complete-veneer crown preparations (group I preparations were 3 mm high and group II were 5 mm high). Crowns for all teeth were cast and cemented with zinc phosphate. After 48 hours' water storage at 37 degrees C, the crowns were separated in tension. Crowns and teeth were then cleaned and each group was subdivided into 2 equal subgroups. In one subgroup of teeth with 3 mm and in one with 5 mm high preparations, the crowns were recemented with one of the two resin cement systems and the other two subgroups were recemented with the other resin cement. After 48-hour water storage, the crowns were separated. Mean separation forces of the resin-cemented crowns were greater than those of crowns cemented with zinc phosphate. Also, mean separation force of 3 mm crowns cemented with one resin cement was significantly greater than the 5 mm crowns cemented with zinc phosphate. Cohesive dentin fracture on separation was observed with some resin-cemented crowns but never with crowns cemented with zinc phosphate.

Retention of adhesive cement on the tooth surface after crown cementation.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Adhesive cements increase crown retention, but it is unknown if traces of cement remain undetected on the tooth surface after clinical removal of excess cement, which could exacerbate plaque retention. PURPOSE: This study measured the surface area, volume, mean depth, and maximum depth of a resin composite and a compomer luting cement left adherent on the tooth surface after removal of excess cement, as judged clinically. METHODS AND MATERIAL: Four groups of specimens (n = 48) were prepared for full coverage crowns: group AC bonding alloy with chamfer finish line, group G gold alloy with chamfer finish line, group PC porcelain with a chamfer finish line, and group PS porcelain with a shoulder finish line. Two profiles of the mesial and distal surfaces of the teeth were carried out: (1) tooth with crown seated but not cemented and (2) tooth with the crown cemented in place. Two cements and 2 methods of cement removal were studied. RESULTS: A 4-way analysis of variance for cement, crown type, method of removal, and tooth surface morphology showed that significantly greater volumes and mean depth, but not surface areas, of resin composite cement remained adherent than compomer cement (P<.05). Among crown types, significant differences were found for cement volume (group G>AC, G>PC, G>PS), cement surface area (group AC>PC, G>PC, G>PS), and maximum cement depth (group G>AC). There was no significant difference between the 2 methods of cement removal. Significantly larger surface areas and maximum depths of cement were retained on the anatomically grooved mesial surface of the maxillary first premolars than on the ungrooved distal surface. CONCLUSION: Subclinical cement retention occurred after crown cementation, which was influenced by cement, crown type, and tooth surface morphology but not method of cement removal.
