Quiz 1: Cements Flashcards
What are the 5 uses of cements?
- temporary luting
- final luting
- temporary bonding
- final bonding
- temporary filling
What is the duration of temporary cement?
2-4 weeks
what is duration of provisional cement?
1-6 months
what is the duration of permanent cement?
permanent but retrievable OR to last
Properties of ideal “permanent’ cement
- biocompatible
- high elastic modulus
- high compressive strength
- insoluble in oral environment
- no micro-leakage (effective seal)
- low film thickness (8-10 microns)
- stable color
- radiopaque
- cariostatic
- non-irriating to pulp (no sensitivity)
- easy clean up
- user friendly (not technique sensitive)
- low cost
Ideal Temporary cement
- biocompatible
- strong enough to hold for a few weeks
- non-irritating to pulp
- creates marginal seal
- easy clean up
- user friendly
- low cost
what is one of the first cements used for inflammation?
Antiphlogistine
what are some of the new cements?
Silicate cement: can compare with zinc phosphate. Supposedly same liquid types but powders are different. course powder sets faster than finely comminuted
what are two types of silicate cement?
- Schoenbeck
2. Ascher
Silicate glass Al-F-Si + Phosphoric Acid
Silicate Cement
Silicate Glass Al-F-Si + Polyacryclic Acid
Glass Ionomer Cement
Zinc oxide + Eugenol
ZOE
Zinc Oxide + phosphoric acid
zinc phosphate
Zinc Oxide + Polyacrycl Acid
Zinc polycarboxylate
ZOE + Acrylic Powder + Eugenol
IRM (intermediate restorative material)
“Reinforced ZOE”
ZOE + Al2O3 + Eugenol + Ethoxybenzoic Acid
EBA cement
What are the 6 permanent cements?
- Zinc polycarboxylate
- zinc phosphate
- Glass ionomer
- Resin
- RMGI
- Polyurethane (IMPROV)- for implants
Film Thickness
- a measure of viscosity
- more an issue with powder/liquid formulations
- NO Powder remnants in mix!
- ~25 microns
~ 1 inch snap off after mixing
In what order do permanent cements increase in compressive strenght?
zinc phosphate
What is the most radiopaque?
Resin > resin ionomer > polycarboxylate/zinc phostphate > glass ionomer
What are 2 examples of polycarboxylate?
- Tylok
2. Durelon
What are the characterisitics of Zinc polycarboxylate?
- kind to pulp
- quite soluble
- good intermediate strength, inexpensive cement
- easy to mix
- not technique sensitive
- acidic (large acidic polymer molecule cannot penetrate dentinal tubules)
- weak chelation bonds to calcium ions of enamel and dentin
- NOT RECOMMENDED for “permanent” use anymore- many other better cements
- good to have in your arsenal: unlimited shelf life, low cost, ease of use
- mix with distilled water
Zinc Phosphate
FLeck
Zinc Phosphate characteristics
- long history of successful use
- has been the standard to compare too
- inexpensive
- excellent compressive strength
- very difficult and time consuming to mix
- very technique sensitive
- early acidity (ph 2) can be irritating to pulp. often put copalite first to cover dentinal tubules
- moderately soluble when mixed properly
- high solubility when mixed poorly
- not widely used anymore- many other better cements
