Cementation Flashcards
What are the ideal properties of cement?
Long working time with rapid set Low film thickness Low solubility High compressive and tensile strengths Low viscosity Adhesion to tooth structure and restorative materials Biocompatible Cariostatic Translucency or opacity Radiopaque - contrast on radiographs
What are the different acid/base cements?
Zinc phosphate
Zinc polycarboxylate
Glass ionomer
ZO cements
What are the different resin modified cements?
Resin modified GIS
PA modified resins
What are polymeric cements?
Hydrophobic resins
Hydrophilic resins
Self-etching resins
Provisional cements
For: metal and metal-ceramic restorations e.g. FULL GOLD AND PFM
Metal and ceramic endodontic posts
All-ceramic reinforced core ceramics
What cements are used with what procedure?
Conventional cementation Zinc phosphate cement Zinc polycarboxylate cement RMGIC's Compomers
What is the presentation of Zinc phosphate?
White powder - zinc oxide
With 10% magnesium oxide and clear liquid of 45-64% aqueous solution phosphoric acis
What are the advantages of zinc phosphate?
Easy to mix
Sharp, well-defined set
Low cost
Low film thickness
What are the disadvantages of zinc phosphate?
Potential for pulpal irritation due to low pH and exothermic reaction
They have no antibacterial action
They are brittle
Low tensile strength
No adhesive qualities
Relatively soluble in the oral environment
What is the presentation of zinc polycarboxylate cements?
zinc oxide
10% magnesium oxide and stannous fluoride
Clear liquid 30-40% aqueous polyacrylic acid
What are the advantages of zinc polycarboxylate?
Bond to enamel and dentine and metallic cast restorations They have low irritancy Have antibacterial action Low film thickness Fluoride release
What are the disadvantages of zinc polycarboxylate?
Their properties are highly dependent upon handling procedures
They have short working times and long setting times
An exacting technique is required to ensure bonding
Clean up is difficult and timing is critical
Strength and solubility comparable to that of zinc phosphate
What are the different GIC’s used?
Aqua-cem
Fuji 1
Ketac-cem
Glass ionomer type I
What are the indications for using GIC
20 years of success fluoride release Bonds to tooth low expansion/contraction Moderate strength
What are the problems with using GIC?
Some post-op sensitivity
Water sensitive during setting
What are the use suggestions for GIC?
Routine use on crowns and bridges
Suggest use of preparation desensitiser (only used for PFM’s now)
What are the different RMGIC’s
Fuji plus
Rely-X-luting
Protec cem
What are the indications for RMGIC’s
Fluoride release Bond to tooth Low expansion/contraction Moderate-high strength - tensile strength higher than GIC No post-op sensitivity Low solubility - good acid resistance
What is the problem with RMGIC’s
Swelling - could crack with ceramic material used
What are the use suggestions for RMGIC’s?
Excellent for routine use on crowns and bridges - PFM and full gold crowns
Contraindicated for most ceramics
What are the strengths with poly-acid modified resin composites? (compomer cements)
Fluoride release Bonds to tooth with pre-treatment Moderate-high strength No post op sensitivity Low solubility
What are the problems with poly-acid modified resin composites
little long-term experience
Swelling
What are use suggestions for poly-acid modified resin composites?
Excellent for routine use on metal supported crowns and bridges, and lab manufactured composites
Available as chemical, dual or light cure
What are use contraindications for poly-acid modified resin composites?
Most ceramics
What are the clinical applications for resin-metal bonding?
Resin bonded bridge
Ortho bracket
Intra-oral repair
Composite resin facings
What are the 2 interfaces in resin bonded bridges?
Tooth-resin and resin-metal
What are the base metal alloy bonding for:
Resin bonded bridge
Ortho bracket
Composite resin facings
Resin bonded bridge Ni-Cr
Ortho bracket S/steel, Co-Cr, Ti

What are the precious metal alloy bonding for:
Intra-oral repair
Adhesive FPD (bridge)
Composite resin facings
Au and Pd alloys for all
