INTRODUCTION
The term cement has been applied to powder / liquid materials which are mixed to a paste
consistency.
The word lutin is de!ined as the use o! a moldable substance to seal "oints and cement
two substances toether.
#arious cements are used !or lutin !or example $inc phosphate% $inc silicophosphate%
$inc polycarboxylate% lass ionomer% and $inc oxide euenol and resin cements.
The clinical success o! !ixed prosthesis is hea&ily dependant on the cementation process.
'or a restoration to accomplish its purpose% it must stay in place on the tooth. No cements
that are compatible with li&in tooth structure and the bioloic en&ironment o! the oral
ca&ity possess adequate adhesi&e properties to hold a restoration in place solely throuh
adhesion.

preparation are o! primary importance% a dental cement must be used as a barrier aainst
microbial lea)ae% sealin the inter!ace between the tooth and restoration and holdin
them toether throuh some !orm o! sur!ace attachment.

Typical prepared sur!aces on a microscopic scale are rouh% that is% there are

Non adhesive luting
Oriinally the lutin aent ser&ed primarily to !ill the ap and pre&ent entrance o! !luids.
8inc phosphate !or example exhibits no adhesion on the molecular le&el. It holds the
restoration in place by enain small irreularities on the sur!ace o! both tooth and the
restoration. The nearly parallel opposin walls o! a correctly prepared tooth ma)e it
impossible to remo&e the restoration without shearin or crushin the minute pro"ections
o! cement extendin into recesses in the sur!aces.

!i&e times that o! $inc phosphate cement. 4hen used on pitted sur!aces% they can pro&ide
e!!ecti&e micromechanical bondin. The tensile strenths o! such bonds can sometimes
exceed the cohesi&e strenth o! enamel. This allows the use o! less extensi&e tooth
preparation !or restorations such as ceramic &eneers and resin bonded !ixed partial
dentures.
The deep irreularities necessary !or micromechanical bondin can be produced on

2y incorporatin small portions o! the powder into the liquid% minimal heat is liberated
and easily dissipated. The heat o! the reaction is most e!!ecti&ely dissipated when the
cement is mixed o&er a lare area o! the cooled slab. Use a relati&ely lon narrow bladed
stainless steel spatula to spread the cement across this lare area to control the
temperature o! the mass and its settin time.
Durin neutrali$ation o! the liquid by the powder% the temperature o! the mixin site is
in&ersely proportional to the time consumed in mixin. Thus a lare &olume o! the
powder is carried to the liquid all at once rather than spatulated o&er a lare area o! the
slab !or a su!!icient time% the temperature at the site o! the reaction becomes hiher.
This temperature rise speeds the reaction and hinders control o&er the consistency.
Durin the middle o! the mixin period% larer amounts o! powder may be incorporated
to !urther saturate the liquid with the newly !ormin complex $inc phosphates. The
quantity o! the unreacted acid is less at this time because o! the prior neutrali$ation

will li)ewise be less% and it can be dissipated adequately by the cooled slab.
'inally smaller increments o! powder are aain incorporated% so the desired ultimate

Physical and biologic properties
Two physical properties o! the cement that are rele&ant to the retention o! the !ixed
prostheses are the mechanical properties and the solubilityMs. The prosthesis can et
disloded i! the underlyin cement is stressed beyond its strenth. 1ih solubility can
induce loss o! the cement needed !or the retention and may create plaque retention sites.
8inc phosphate cement when properly manipulated exhibits a compressi&e strenth o!
@:;*a and a diametral tensile strenth o! B.B *a.
8inc phosphate cement has a modulus o! elasticity o! approximately @9 7*a. Thus it is
quite sti!! and should be resistant to elastic de!ormation e&en when it is employed !or
cementation o! restorations that are sub"ected to hih masticatory stress.
( reduction in the powder liquid ratio o! the mix produces a mar)edly wea)er cement.
( loss or ain in the water content o! the liquid reduces the compressi&e and tensile
strenths o! the cement.
Retention
4hene&er a castin is seated in the prepared tooth% the sur!aces o! both the castin and
the tooth structure ha&e sliht rouhness and irreularities into which the plastic cement
is !orced. -uch extensions many times act as undercuts in pro&idin retention o! the inlay.
The thic)ness o! the !ilm between the castin and the tooth is also a !actor in the
retention. The thinner the !ilm% the better is the cementin action.
"olubility and disintegration
The premature contact o! the incompletely set cement with water results in dissolution
and leachin o! that sur!ace. *roloned contact e&en o! wellhardened cement% with
moisture demonstrates that some erosion and extraction o! soluble material does occur
!rom the cement.

by increasin the powder liquid ratio. ( thic)er mix o! cement exhibits less solubility
than a thinner mix.
#imensional stability
8inc phosphate cement exhibits shrin)ae on hardenin. The normal dimensional chane
when properly mixed cement is brouht into contact with water a!ter it has set is that o!
sliht initial expansion% apparently !rom water absorption. This expansion is then
!ollowed by sliht shrin)ae on the order o! :.:;G to :.:G in days.
$onsistency and film thic%ness
Two arbitrary consistencies o! the cement are used based on their use.
Inlay seatin or lutin and cement base or !illin. ( third consistency which lies midway
between inlay seatin and the cement base% is band seatin consistency used !or retention
o! orthodontic bands.
The inlay seatin consistency is used to retain alloy restorations. (lthouh the
unhardened $inc phosphate cement is somewhat tenacious% the retainin action in its
hardened state is one o! mechanical interloc)in between the sur!ace irreularities o! the
tooth and the restoration.
The !ilm thic)ness o! the $inc phosphate cement reatly determines the adaptation o! the
castin to the tooth and also determines the strenth o! the retention bond.
The maximum !ilm thic)ness is AB m. the hea&ier the consistency0 the reater the !ilm
thic)ness and the less complete the seatin o! the restoration.
The ultimate !ilm thic)ness that a wellmixed% nonranular cement attains depends !irst
on the particle si$e o! the powder and second on the concentration o! the liquid.
The !ilm thic)ness also &aries with the amount o! !orce and the manner in which this
!orce is applied to a castin durin cementation.
(n increased amount o! powder incorporated into the liquid will increase the consistency
o! the cement mass.
The operator must !requently test each mass as the end o! mixin time approaches. The

The consistency o! cements can be quanti!ied by measurin &iscosity. ( small but
sini!icant increase in &iscosity is seen at hiher temperatures. ( rapid increase in

"urface penetration and retention
Despite the adhesion o! the cement to tooth structure% polycarboxylate cements are not
superior to $inc phosphate cement in the retention o! cast noble metal restorations.
( comparable !orce is required to remo&e old inlays cemented either with $inc
phosphate cement or with polycarboxylate cement. ,xamination o! !ractured sur!aces
shows that !ailure usually occurs at the cement 3tooth inter!ace with $inc phosphate
cement.
In the case o! polycarboxylate cements% the !ailure occurs usually at the cement metal
inter!ace.
The cement does not bond to the metal in the chemically contaminated condition. Thus it
is essential that this contaminated sur!ace on the castin be remo&ed to impro&e
wettability and the mechanical bond at the cement metal inter!ace. The sur!ace can be
care!ully abraded with a small stone% or it can be sandblasted with hihpressure air and
alumina abrasi&es.
2ecause this type o! cement a!!ords an opportunity to obtain adhesion to tooth structure% a
clean ca&ity sur!ace is necessary to ensure intimate contact and interaction between
cement and the tooth. ( recommended procedure is to apply a @:G polyacrylic acid
solution !or @: to @B seconds !ollowed by rinsin with water.
Removal of excess cement
Durin settin the polycarboxylate cement passes throuh a rubbery stae that ma)es the
remo&al o! the excess cement quite di!!icult. The excess cement that has extruded beyond
the marins o! the castin should not be remo&ed while the cement is in this stae%
because some o! the cement may be pulled out !rom beneath the marins lea&in a &oid.
The excess should be remo&ed when the cement becomes hard. The outer sur!ace o! the
prosthesis should be coated with a separatin medium li)e petroleum "elly% to pre&ent
excess !rom adherin.
(nother approach is to start remo&in excess cement as soon as seatin is completed.
