The purpose of this study was to compare the retentive strength of zinc-phosphate cement, glass-ionomer cement, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement in the retention of prefabricated posts. The root canals of 60 bovine incisors were prepared and obturated with warm gutta-percha. Post space was prepared, the smear layer removed, and posts were luted with zinc-phosphate cement, glass-ionomer cement, or MTA. The specimens were stored at 37 degrees C and 100% humidity for 2 weeks, and then subjected to increasing axial tensile forces by an Instron machine until bond failure occurred. Data were analyzed by a one-way ANOVA and a Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test. The retentive strengths of zinc phosphate and glass-ionomer cements were statistically equivalent, and significantly greater than MTA (p < 0.001), which suggests that zinc phosphate or glass-ionomer cement may be superior to MTA when used as luting agents for posts in endodontically treated teeth.

The use of bone cement in ossicular chain reconstruction (OCR) represents an area of recent interest. This multi-institutional retrospective study assesses the efficacy of glass ionomer cement (GIC) in OCR following the explantation of a fully implantable active middle ear implant. A postoperative 4-frequency mean air-bone gap (ABG) was obtained for 15 subjects by averaging 0.

Objective: The study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the effects of incorporating hydrazinyl coumarin derivative (HCD) in resin-modified (RMGIC) and conventional glass ionomer cement (cGIC) on their release profiles and antibacterial properties.

Method: Resin-modified GIC, Fuji II LC (F2) and high-fluoride cGIC, Fuji VII (F7) were used as controls. HCD was synthesized in-house, incorporated into both RMGIC and cGICs at 1 % and 2 % weight percentages (w/w), and chemically analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Objectives:  Calcium carbonate (CaCO), a major inorganic component in bones and teeth, offers potential protection against demineralization. This study investigates the effect of CaCO from shells on the expression of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and collagen type 1 in the rat dental pulp.

Materials And Methods:  The first maxillary molars of were perforated and subsequently pulp capped with CaCO extracted from shells.

Article Synopsis
  • The management of molar-incisor hypomineralization is complex due to varying clinical appearances and treatment needs.
  • The report details a treatment case involving a carious permanent molar using glass ionomer cement (GIC) and an occlusal replica technique.
  • After the procedure, the patient showed no symptoms, maintained good oral hygiene, and the restorative material remained intact after 12 months.

Statement Of Problem: Excess cement in implant-supported restorations can lead to peri-implant diseases, and its removal remains a clinical challenge. The optimum method of minimizing excess cement is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare 3 cementation techniques and 3 cement types and measure excess cement.
