Physical and mechanical properties of dual functional cements-an in vitro study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of different dual functional cements.

Materials And Methods: Three dual functional cements (Allcem Core (FGM), Rebilda DC (VOCO), and LuxaCore Z (DMG)), a luting resin cement (Rely X ARC (3 M ESPE)), and a Core Buildup composite resin GrandioSo (VOCO) were used. Flexural strength (n = 10) and film thickness (n = 6) were evaluated according to ISO 4049:2009.
