AIM The aim of this comprehensive review is to systematically organize the current knowledge regarding the cementation of glass-ceramic materials and restorations, with an additional focus on the benefits of Immediate Dentin Sealing (IDS). MATERIALS AND METHODS An extensive literature search concerning the cementation of single-unit glass-ceramic posterior restorations was conducted in the da...

This randomized clinical trial was carried out to compare post cementation sensitivity in vital abutments of metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures using glass ionomer luting cement and resin based luting cement. It analyzed the results of 182 patients whose records were completed during study duration of 09 months at Department of Prosthodontics, AFID, Rawalpindi. Cold sensitivity tests were use...

To evaluate the influence of cementation on fracture load of anterior crowns made of CAD/CAM-resin-blocks (ART), leucite-reinforced glass-ceramics (LRG), lithium disilicate ceramics (LIT), veneered zirconia (ZRO) and veneered alloy (DEG). Each crown group (n=15/subgroup) was cemented on the metal abutment as follows: i. using glass ionomer, ii. using self-adhesive resin cement, and iii. not cem...

This study deals with the issue of copper separation from acidic etching solutions formed during process production printed circuit boards (PCBs) for electrical and electronic industries. The article describes selected methods summarizes results an experiment, in which efficiency recovery depleted acid by cementation precipitation method was verified. In cementation, iron form metallic swarf us...

This study identifies the most common microorganisms present in type III gold cast posts related to pulpal disease and evaluates the sterilization/disinfection method before cementation in the root canal. Forty-five type III gold cast posts were aseptically collected in sterile sealed plastic bags and taken to the microbiology laboratory to carry out the study: fifteen cast posts had no treatme...

Cementation of polyethylene (PE) liners into well-fixed metal shells has become a popular option during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) particularly for older and frail patients. Although dramatic results were reported with dual-mobility acetabular components to manage hip instability during revision THA, no study evaluated the fixation strength of the cementation of dual-mobility compone...

BACKGROUND Various treatment strategies for low-grade chondrosarcomas with variable outcomes have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the oncological and functional outcomes associated with intralesional curettage followed by adjuvant therapy comprising high-speed burring, thermal cauterization, and bone cementation with polymethylmethacrylate. METHODS We perf...
