AIMS/BACKGROUND The objective of this review was to define the impact of cementation mode on the longevity of different types of single tooth restorations and fixed dental prostheses (FDP). METHODS Literature search by PubMed as the major database was used utilizing the terms namely, adhesive techniques, all-ceramic crowns, cast-metal, cement, cementation, ceramic inlays, gold inlays, metal-c...

Small-angle scattering (SAS) has been widely applied to study the microstructure of colloidal systems. Although colloids cover a wide range of materials, in general they can simply be viewed as basic building particles arranging themselves, according to their interaction, in a continuous medium. In this study, three seemingly very different systems were investigated under various conditions. Th...

Injectable biomaterials to aid bone regeneration are worth investigating in bone tissue engineering due to minimized invasive damages. In this study, a novel in situ formed composite cement consisting of alginate and Sr-containingmesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticles (mSCS) has been designed. Firstly, mSCSwere fabricated with Sr-substitution for Ca in mesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticl...

To evaluate the long-term effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on sealing ability biomineralization two different calcium silicate cements (CSC) in root canal. Sixty human third molar canals were obturated with ProRoot MTA or Biodentine. Before obturation irrigated saline (control), 2% CHX 5% DMSO. Microleakage was tested after three days six months. After additional mont...

The color stability of resin cements is essential for aesthetic restorations. Aim: To evaluate the influence of shade and aging time on the color stability of two light-cured and two dual-cured resin cements. Methods: The CIE-Lab color parameters (n=6) were measured immediately after sample preparation and at 7, 30 and 90 days of aging in distilled water. The color difference (∆E) was calculate...

This in vitro study was undertaken to evaluate the caries-preventive effect of three orthodontic band cements (a dual-curing resinmodified glass ionomer cement [RMGIC] and two light-curing polyacid-modified composite resin [compomer] cements) in terms of fluoride release, retentiveness, and microleakage after thermocycling. The RMGIC (Ortholy Band Paste [GC Ortholy, Inc., Tokyo, Japan]) showed ...

Many conventional types of luting cement are available for the dental clinicians to choose and restore luting of ceramic crowns. But not all the available luting cements are ideal for all situations. All ceramic restorations do benefit from resin cements bonding to the tooth. Hence it necessitates comparing the bonding ability of different luting cements to ceramic and dentin. The main objectiv...

AIM OF THE WORK Aim of the work was to execute a review of the international literature about the cementation of zirconia restorations, analyzing the properties of the cements most commonly used in clinical activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was performed, through PubMed, a bibliographic search on the international literature of the last 10 years using the following limits: studies in Engli...
