Purpose:
To study the cytotoxicity of 3 resin cements to human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs).
Methods:
Three resin cements (Panavia F, RelyXTM Unicem and Multilink Speed) test samples were immersed and incubated in the culture medium for 48 h at 37degrees centigrade. Cultured HGFs were exposed to two concentrations (50% and 100%) of material elutes for 24 h, 72 h and 120 h. The proliferation rate was evaluated using CCK-8 assay. The data were statistically analyzed by one-way analysis of variance using SPSS 20.0 software package.
Results:
Relative growth rate(RGR) of all experimental groups ranged from 10.67% to 100.02%, the cytotoxicity grade of all groups was 0 to 4. There was no significant difference in the RGR among 3 resin cements, but the experimental group of Panavia F (uncovered with antioxidant) showed significantly lower RGR than other experimental groups.
Conclusions:
Panavia F, RelyXTM Unicem and Multilink Speed exhibit no cytotoxicity to HGFs, Panavia F(uncovered with antioxidant) shows moderate cytotoxicity.

Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
Types of Cement I
Type I (Ordinary Portland Cement) is widely used for general construction where special properties are not required. It has moderate sulfate resistance and heat of hydration.
Type II (Modified Cement) offers moderate resistance to sulfate attack and a lower rate of heat development compared to Type I. It is suitable for structures in...
