Zinc polycarboxylate cement is one of the few dental materials that demonstrate true adhesion to tooth structure. It is suitable for use in living organisms without causing harm. Its strong adhesion to teeth and low level of irritancy are two important parameters for the dental applications. In this study, the dosimetry properties of zinc polycarboxylate cement using thermoluminescence (TL) method were investigated and determined the effectiveness of its use as a good dosimeter. According to the results of this study, the sample shows a good TL properties with three main peaks found around 140°C, 220°C and 330°C. It has a wide linear dose response between 72 Gy and 2.3 kGy and good reusability of the TL peak found at 330°C. Unfortunately, the TL peak intensity values are rapidly faded within a short waiting time interval. Zinc polycarboxylate cement, which is frequently used in dental crowns, can be used as a retrospective dosimeter for measuring the amount of radiation in space studies and nuclear accidents due to its wide linear dose-response curve in the high dose region.

Objectives: To compare the use of orifice barriers (OB) in root-filled teeth (RFT) between specialist endodontic practitioners (SEP) and general and other specialist practitioners (GDP+), and identify common materials, reasons for selection, and techniques.
Methods: An online survey was distributed to SEP and GDP+ practising in Australia. Demographic and multiple-choice questions relating to material selection and technique choices were asked to evaluate and relate usage patterns to practising and training backgrounds.

A backbone-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) zinc complex, in combination with alcohol initiators, has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) to poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) devoid of oxetane linkages. The ROP of TMC proceeded in solution to give PTMC, possessing controlled molecular mass (2500 < < 10000) and low dispersity ( ∼ 1.2).

BACKGROUND A luting agent is a dental cement used to secure a dental restoration. This study aimed to evaluate retentive strength of 50 endodontically-treated single-rooted mandibular second premolars (extracted) restored using 5 common luting (cement) agents. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty single-rooted mandibular second premolars with adequate root length and uniform size/shape were decoronated.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the vertical marginal discrepancy (VMD) and residual excess cement (REC) of cementable and screwmentable monolithic zirconia crowns cemented with different types of cement. Abutments were attached to 40 implant analogues. Crowns were created using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology from monolithic zirconia blocks, either with or without a screw access hole (SAC).
