Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop a new method to evaluate the consistency of resin cements by modeling the operation of setting a crown. First, the weight of the resin cements and the inner surface area of the crown were measured to configure the conditions for consistency evaluation using a model abutment tooth and a model crown. As the evaluation method, a 200 mm2 contact surface area of a glass plate was placed on top of 30.0 mg of resin cement paste, and a pressure of 10.0 N was applied to the glass plate. When the paste was spread over the entire bottom surface of the glass plate, it was designated a "Pass". A "Pass" result was obtained for all resin cements tested and a "Fail" result for all resin composites, indicating the usefulness of the new method for assessing cement flowability when setting a crown.
