OBJECTIVE To investigate and compare the amount of fluoride release of conventional, resin modified and nanofilled resin modified glass ionomer cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tablets of glass-ionomer cements were immersed in deionized water and incubated at 37°C. After 1, 2, 7, 15 and 30 days, fluoride ion was measured under normal atmospheric conditions by fluoride ion selective electrode. B...

compare the effect of different ceramic thicknesses on degree of conversion (DC) of 3 light-cured resin cements. Methods: In this experimental in-vitro study, the degree of conversion of three light-cured resin cements, Variolink Veneer (Ivoclar, Liechtenstein), RelyX Veneer (3M ESPE, USA) and Choice2 (Bisco, USA) were evaluated beneath feldespatic ceramic discs (Vita VMK Master) with a same sh...

phosphate, polycarboxylate, zinc oxide-eugenol and glass-ionomer products and the characteristics of these cements have been examined by several investigators2-5). In our previous investigation6), a decrease in compressive and diametral tensile strength was observed following 12 months immersion in distilled water with zinc phosphate, polycarboxylate and glass ionomer cements for luting, contai...

Reliable bonding between the prepared tooth and monolithic ceramics can be achieved by various luting agents available on market. The selection of agent cementation technique plays an important role in success restoration. With advent resin-based adhesive systems as agents, clinicians' perspectives have changed to a more conservative approach. Recent systems, chemically adhere athe crowns struc...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the viscosities and curing modes on the degree of conversion (DC) of two resin cements. METHODS Eight experimental groups were evaluated (n=5), according to the dual-cured resin cements (Nexus 2/Variolink II), viscosity (low and high) and evaluation time (5 minutes and 24 hours). The resin cements were applied to surface of a ...

Background Bonded indirect restorations are laboratory fabricated and requires at least two appointments: one for provisionalization and one for luting. In the first appointment, an impression is immediately taken after tooth preparation, followed by a provisional treatment, which traditionally consists of luting a temporary restoration. After the indirect restoration fabrication, the temporary...

statement of the problem: increasing the thickness of the veneering porcelain may affect the polymerization of resin cements. incomplete polymerization of resin cements can lead to compromised quality of restoration and decrease the longevity of indirect restorations. purpose: this study sought to assess the effect of ips empress porcelain thickness on the degree of conversion of light-cure and...

PURPOSE To evaluate the cytotoxicity of temporary luting cements on bovine dental pulp-derived cells (bDPCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Four different temporary cements were tested: Rely X Temp E (3M ESPE), Ultratemp (Ultradent), GC Fuji Temp (GC), and Rely X Temp NE (3M ESPE). The materials were prepared as discs and incubated in Dulbecco's modified eagle's culture medium (DMEM) for 72 hours acc...
