Objective:
The aim: To conduct studies of the physical and mechanical properties of cements for fixation, namely the duration of cement samples under cyclic compression.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: We have conducted a study of 6 cements for permanent fixation of fixed structures of dentures. To study the duration of cements under cyclic compression, a special stand was used, which allows testing samples for cyclic compression with a load frequency of 5.4 Hz or 324 cycles per minute and an increase in compression in a cycle from 10 to 100 kg/s.
Results:
Results: Comparative analysis of the mechanical properties in compression of dental cements for permanent fixation showed that the obtained deformation curves differ significantly in each of the cement samples used in the study.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The results of the study of the physical and mechanical properties of cements indicate that the most optimal complex of properties is possessed by the zincphosphate cement Unitsem and glass ionomer cements Cemion and Fuji I. This is most clearly confirmed when studying the duration of cement samples under cyclic compression, which simulates a real situation.

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...

Frost Resistant Concrete
Introducing microscopic air bubbles into the concrete mix through air entrainment creates small voids that accommodate ice expansion, thereby reducing internal pressures and preventing cracking. The optimal amount of...
