dependent on different core build-up and
luting materials

A

“hygroscopic expansion of RMGIC/compomer
materials led to failure of all-ceramic crowns,
when the materials are used for both core
build-up or adhesive bonding.”

34
Q

A

Easy to clean

35
Q

Properties of self-adhesive resin cements: Dual Cure

A

Need light cure as well as chemical cure to ensure full conversion

36
Q

Properties of self-adhesive resin cement: Colour

A

• MaxCem Elite and SmartCem2 claim better translucency and better
colour stability
• Panavia SA Cement may be too opaque

37
Q

Properties of self-adhesive resin cement: enamel bond

A

Significantly better with acid etching, thus not ideal for veneers, inlays, onlays, RBBs and orthodontic brackets

38
Q

Properties of self-adhesive resin cement: dentine bond

A
  • Not as good as that obtained with DBAs
  • Acid etching compromises the bond

49
Q

Cementing temporary restorations

A

Temporary inlays, onlays crowns & bridges must remain
cemented for the duration of their placement.
Loss or failure of the temporary leads to:
• Pain
• Over eruption & loss of space
• Drifting of proximal teeth
• Damage to core preparations

50

Functions of temporary cementation

A
  • Provide a seal
  • Prevent marginal leakage
  • Prevent pulpal irritation
  • Low strength to allow easy removal
  • Protect preparation
51
Q

Ideal properties of temporary cement

A
  • Ability to seal against leakage of oral fluids
  • Strength consistent with intentional removal
  • Low solubility
  • Biocompatibility
  • Chemical compatibility with provisional polymer

  • Adequate working and setting times
  • Compatibility with definitive luting agent
52
Q

too high strength – difficult removal, damage to
preparation

53
Q

A
  • Easy removal thus enabling reuse of restoration
  • Acceptable sealing properties
  • Obtundent effect on pulp

resin cements
• Must ensure all cement removed prior to using
a definitive resin cement
• Eugenol free zinc oxide available e.g Temp
Bond NE, Nogenol
