[Compressive strength and deformation of dental cements].

Several dental cements have been tested for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and plastic strain at fracture. Sylindrical specimens (4 x 6 mm) were compressed to fracture with two different crosshead speeds (2 mm/min, 0.1 mm/min) at two temperatures (23 +/- 1 degrees C and 37 +/- 1 degrees C). The results showed that the zinc phosphate cement had relatively high strength and a very small elastic and plastic strain during compression. The luting type of glass-ionomer cements showed properties near to that of the zinc phosphate cement. The other cements had either lower strength or higher elastic and plastic deformation than the zinc phosphate cement. Several cements showed a marked reduction of the mechanical properties when tested at a low crosshead speed or at 37 degrees C.

The effect of varnish on dentinal bonding strength of five dental cements.

1. The following dental cements are listed in order of decreasing mean bonding strenghts on varnish-free dentin: polycarboxylate, zinc phosphate, EBA, Fynal, and CBA. 2. The application of either Copalite or Varnal decreased the dentinal bonding strength of polycarboxylate and zinc phosphate cements. There was no change for CBA cement. 3. The application of Copalite and Varnal increased the dentinal bonding strength for Fynal to the level of zinc phosphate cement on varnish-free dentin. 4. The dentinal bonding strength of EBA cement increased with the application of Varnal but not with Copalite.

Dental Bonding

The properties of four dental cements.

Tests on 4 cements showed no significant difference in the retentive property of zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate cements but significant differences existed between these and two zinc oxide eugenol (modified) materials. Polycarboxylate cement was the only material which fractured partially or wholly within the cement film and the zinc oxide eugenol modifications mostly adhered to the inlay.

[Cytotoxicity of some dental cements in a cell culture system (author's transl)].

Four dental cements of zinc phosphate cement, polycarboxylate cement, zinc oxide-eugenol cement and epoxy resin cement have been tested by means of cell culture method using L strain cell. The cells were cultured with a test piece of the cements in the incubator of 37 degrees C. The test pieces of powder, liquid, un-set cement and set cement were prepared. Cell multiplication, medium pH and zone index in agar diffusion method were measured and also cell morphological changes were observed around the test piece. Test pieces of the four un-set cements showed cytotoxic action at 2 hours administration, although the cytotoxicity of their cements decreased after setting. pH 7.2 of the normal medium was changed to 4.6 with un-set zinc phosphate cement. The other cements affected slightly comparing with zinc phosphate cement. The largest zone index which indicates degree of cytotoxicity, were observed around the test piece of the liquid of zinc phosphate cement. In this study, a biocompatibility of four dental cements was investigated and the following results were obtained. 1. Zinc phosphate cement showed strong cytotoxic action under the un-set condition, and the cytotoxicity almost disappeared after setting. 2. Polycarboxylate cement showed weaker cytotoxic action than zinc phosphate cement. However the cytotoxicity did not disappear after setting. 3. Zinc oxide-eugenol cement showed cytotoxic action which was similar to polycarboxylate cement, but it was slightly stronger than that of polycarboxylate cement. 4. Epoxy resin cement showed the weakest cytotoxic action than other three cements under the un-set condition. The cytotoxicity of set epoxy resin cement was strong, followed by zinc oxide-eugenol cement.

Modulus of elasticity and strength properties of dental cements.

The modulus of elasticity of commercial dental cements was determined by an optical strain gauge method. Values of compressive and tensile strengths also were measured. Of the cements of primary consistency tested, a noneugenol zinc oxide cement had the lowest mechanical properties. A zinc phosphate cement had the highest value of compressive strength and modulus, but a zinc polyacrylate cement had the highest tensile strength. A zinc polyacrylate cement base had the highest tensile strength, but a zinc phosphate cement base had the highest compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. A calcium hydroxide liner had higher mechanical properties than an unmodified ZOE liner.

Dental Cements

The hydration of dental cements.

A study was made of the hydration of dental cements, water being classified as "non-evaporable" and "evaporable". The ratio of these two types of water was found to vary greatly among different cement types, being lesser in zinc oxide and ionic polymer cements and greater in ion-leachable glass and phosphoric acid cements. The cement with the least "non-evaporable" water, i.e., showing least hydration (the zinc polycarboxylate cement), had the lowest strength and modulus and the greatest deformation at failure. A linear relationship was found to exist between strength and the degree of hydration of dental cements. All the cements were found to become more highly hydrated and stronger as they aged.

Absorption

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.

A study of temperature changes occurring in setting dental cements.

A study has been made of the rise in temperature associated with the setting of dental cements. Results are discussed in terms of the chemistry of the cement systems and are related to specification testing and clinical usage. Zinc oxide cements evolve more heat than those based on ion-leachable glasses, and phosphate bonded cements evolve more heat than polycarboxylate cements.

[The in vitro biological evaluation of dental cements using elution and binding by bovine serum albumin (author's transl)].

In order to evaluate in vitro biological properties of dental cements sixteen different cements including zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), EBA, resin, polycarboxylate, glass ionomer cement and calcium hydroxide base material were tested regarding elution and binding by bovine serum albumin (BSA). The persistency of elution over long time after subsequent transfer to fresh water was calculated at 210 nm absorbance with ultra violet spectrometer. Also the eluates obtained were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatograpy. The continuous leaching of eugenol from ZOE cement was observed. Binding of eluates from cement to BSA was evaluated spectrophotometrically by utilizing the competition with 2-(4' hydroxyphenylazo) benzoic acid (HABA). EBA cement showed the highest binding ability by BSA because of the leaching o-ethoxybenzoic acid from this cement. The relevance of protein and pulp toxicity is discussed.

Clinical study of dental cements. VI. A study of zinc phosphate, EBA-reinforced zinc oxide eugenol and polyacrylic acid cements as luting agents in fixed prostheses.

A clinical trial for the final cementation of crowns and bridges with a reinforced zinc oxide and eugenol cement, a polyacrylic acid cement and a zinc phosphate cement was made over a 3-year period. The study involved 441 patients for whom 547 bridges and 162 single restorations were cemented. The patients were recalled at 6-month intervals for the duration of the study and the restorations were examined for looseness. Of the 547 bridges 520 remained firmly cemented to the abutment teeth. Of 1,082 bridge retainers, 1,049 remained in position; success and failure by types of retainer will be the subject of a subsequent paper. Of the 162 single restorations 159 remained in place.
