Luting Cements

Question 1

oldest & most widely used cement

Answer 1

Zinc Phosphate cement

Question 2

Adv. –long record of clinical acceptability, high compressive strength, acceptably thin film thickness
Dis.– low initial ph leasd to post cementation sensitivity, lack of an ability to bond chemically to tooth structure
lack anticariogenic effect

Answer 2

Zinc Phosphate Cement

Question 3

using Frozen slab technique

Answer 3

Zinc Phosphate

Question 4

1st chemically adhesive dental materials.
Result of chelation
Adv.- chemically bonds to tooth structure
Disadv.- short working time requires separate tooth conditioning step prior to cementation

Answer 4

Zinc Polycarboxylate cement / Zinc Polyacrylate cement

Question 5

chemical bond to enamel & dentin
anticariogenic effect
Ds. Low initial ph lead to postcementstion sensitivity to both moisture
