Today proper selection of dental cements is a key factor to achieve a successful restoration and will greatly increase the chances of long-term success of the restoration. In recent years, many newly formulated dental cements have been developed with the claim of better performance compared to the traditional materials. Unfortunately, selection of suitable dental cement for a specific clinical ...

introduction: this in vitro study measured and compared ph and phosphate and calcium ions release of a new endodontic material (cem cement), mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), and portland cement (pc) using uv-visible technique, atomic absorption spectrophotometry methods, and ph meter, respectively. materials and methods: each material was placed in a plastic tube (n=10) and immersed in a glass...

This study analyzed uniaxial compression strength over time by preparing a homogel specimen from a bio grouting material, a cement-like form produced by environment-friendly microbial reactions. Among chemical grouting methods, the most commonly used method is the Labile Waterglass method. In this study, the homogel uniaxial compressive strength of Labile Waterglass (LW) injection material and ...

Tremendous quantities of reservoir deposited sediments are required to be dredged regularly to maintain the storage capacity of the reservoir. The reservoir dredged material (RDM) can be utilized as construction material after admixing with additives such as cement and fly ash thereby improving its strength characteristics. This research paper presents results of laboratory investigation carrie...

It has been the purpose of this article to provide a rationale for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Treatment recommendations have been made in the areas of post design, placement technique, cements, core materials, and definitive restorations, based on a review of the clinical and laboratory data.

We investigated four acrylic cement preparation techniques for their effects on cement porosity: hand mixing, pressurization in a pneumatic pistol, centrifugation, and vacuum mixing. All the techniques were tested on three types of cement with different viscosity characteristics. The best results were obtained with vacuum mixing using a newly designed experimental system, yielding porosity redu...

Sustainability and the UK cement industry Traditional Portland cement-based concrete provides the foundation for the built environment. Buildings constructed appropriately and imaginatively from this material can and do exhibit an impressive array of properties [1] especially those that have been designed to optimise the thermal mass of concrete [2]. This type of concrete building is expected t...
