Ceramic 2

Question 1

▸Temporary cement
▸Soothes pulp
▸Eugenol inhibits polymerization of resin
▸Ex: Temp Bond

Answer 1

Zinc oxide eugenol

Question 2

▸Temporary cement
▸Chelation to calcium
▸Minimal pulpal irritation
▸Ex: Durelon

Answer 2

Zinc polycarboxylate

Question 3

▸Phosphoric acid irritates the pulp
▸Mix on a chilled glass slab due to
exothermic reaction

Answer 3

Zinc phosphate

Question 4

▸Adheres to enamel and dentin
▸Releases fluoride
▸Less post operative sensitivity.
▸Ex. Fuji

Answer 4

Glass ionomer

Question 5

▸Higher strength and lower solubility than GI
▸Contraindicated with low strength ceramics due to expansion from water
absorption and possible fracture of ceramic at thin margin area.
▸Can be used with zirconia.
▸Less post operative sensitivity.
▸Ex: Rely-X Luting

Answer 5

RMGI

Question 6

▸Most compressive strength
▸Bonds to dentin
▸Light cure, Chemical cure, or dual cure varieties
▸Light cure cement is more color stable than dual
cure cement*
▸Recommended for low strength ceramics

Answer 6

Resin cements

Question 7

What type of cure resin (chemical, dual, light cure) cement is the most color stable?

Answer 7

Light cure

Question 8

How is glass ceramics internal surface preppared for cementation?

Answer 8

Hydrofluoric acid etch
