Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength values five luting cements that are commonly used in dental restorations after exposed hyperbaric pressure.
 Methods: Five (polycarboxylate cement, glass ionomer manual-mixed resin two auto-mixed cement) were prepared. (25 x 2 mm3) (n=16 for each) specimens divided into subgroups (n=8) pressure (3 ATM) 20 t...

The potential mutagenicity of a zinc phosphate (Poscal), a polycarboxylate (Aqualox) and glass ionomer cements with (Argion) and without (Meron) silver reinforcement were characterized by employing the Ames Salmonella/microsome test. The materials were eluted in dimethyl sulphoxide or physiologic saline and the aliquots were used either immediately or after an incubation period of 24h at 37 deg...

The complexation of trivalent lanthanides with a commercial polycarboxylate based concrete superplasticizer (Glenium® 51) is investigated using different spectroscopic techniques. Time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) in combination with a charge neutralization model is used to determine temperature dependent conditional stability constants (log β'(T)) for the complexation of Eu...

The amounts of Zn and Mg eluted from the zinc polycarboxylate cement into acetic, lactic and citric acids increased with an increase in the formation constant of the acid-Zn or -Mg complexes. The erosion process consisted of two processes, namely, dissolution of the unreacted cement powder and decomposition of the matrix. The matrix was remarkably eroded by 0.01M citric acid which formed stable...

Introduction: Radiopacity is a necessary property for luting cements . The aim of this study was to investigate the radiopacity of some luting dental cements used in prosthetic dentistry. Methods: Five disclike samples of each material (6 x 1 mm) were prepared from panavia F2.0(Pa), Chioce2 (Ch.2), Glass ionomer GC (GI GC), zinc phosphate Hoffmann’s (ZP hof), zinc polycarboxylate Hoffm...

The aim of this study was to evaluate acyclic ligands which can be applied for labeling proteins such as monoclonal antibodies and their fragments with scandium radionuclides. Recently, scandium isotopes (47Sc, 44Sc) are more available and their properties are convenient for radiotherapy or PET imaging. They can be used together as "matched pair" in theranostic approach. Because proteins denatu...

This research paper discusses the influence of zeolite-containing filler Beltau deposit and polycarboxylate superplasticizer on formation porosity cement stone. The results experiments to establish effect plasticizing additive pore size distribution are graphically presented. data obtained confirm feasibility using this type in concrete.

cementation of alloy-based restorations with traditional cements (e.g., glass-ionomer, resin-modified glass-ionomer, zinc phosphate, zinc polycarboxylate) to bonding of all ceramic restorations with resin based cements. With the increasing demand for high-end esthetic treatments for anterior teeth restorations, the need for a good esthetic cementation system comes into play in modern day dentis...
