Summary
Choosing the right dental cement is crucial for indirect restorations. This review details various dental cements, highlighting their properties and proper application for successful, long-lasting results.
Area of Science:
- Restorative Dentistry
- Biomaterials Science
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Indirect restoration cementation is vital for bonding prosthetics to teeth, preventing complications.
- Advancements in dental cements offer improved handling, curing, and bond strengths.
- Selecting appropriate luting materials is essential due to diverse biomaterials and clinical needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current dental cements, detailing their composition, properties, benefits, drawbacks, and uses.
- To emphasize the importance of understanding luting material characteristics for optimal clinical selection.
- To highlight factors influencing restoration color and bond strength.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of dental cements.
- Analysis of cement composition, properties, and clinical applications.
- Discussion of factors affecting cementation success.
Main Results:
- Glass-ionomer and resin cements are commonly used.
- Restoration color is influenced by resin cement type, shade, thickness, and ceramic shade.
- Surface treatments enhance microtensile bond strength.
Conclusions:
- No single luting material is universally applicable; selection must be case-specific.
- Proper surface treatment of tooth and restoration is necessary before cementation.
- Adhering to manufacturer guidelines for thin cement layers is critical for restoration longevity.

01:17Soundness of Cement
213
The soundness of cement refers to the ability of cement paste to retain its volume after setting. Unsound cement can lead to expansion and structural damage due to the presence of free lime, magnesia, and calcium sulfate. Free lime hydrates very slowly, expanding and causing unsoundness, which is difficult to detect because it intercrystallizes with other compounds. Magnesia also reacts with water, forming crystals that can disrupt the cement's structure. Calcium sulfate can create...

Portland blast-furnace cement is made by blending Portland cement clinker with granulated blast-furnace slag, which accounts for 25 to 65 percent of the cement's weight. Despite its similarities to ordinary Portland (Type I) cement in terms of fineness and setting times, its early strength is lower, though it achieves comparable strength later on. It's particularly suited for mass concrete structures and marine environments due to its lower heat of hydration and superior sulfate...

01:24Hydration of Cement
316
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

273
Mortar, a mixture of Portland cement, hydrated lime, sand, and water, is a crucial binding material in construction. Its primary function is to join masonry units together, filling gaps and ensuring a uniform distribution of weight across the structure. This helps in preventing potential weaknesses. Mortar also serves as a protective barrier against environmental elements such as water and wind, thereby safeguarding the interior of the structure. It also compensates for surface irregularities...

01:18Porosity in Cement Paste
195
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.

01:15Fineness of Cement
177
The fineness of cement directly influences the rate of hydration, as the hydration begins at the surface of the cement particles. In addition to hydration, the fineness of cement is vital for various properties of concrete including workability, gypsum requirement, and long-term behavior. The fineness of cement is represented in terms of the specific surface of cement which is typically measured in square meters per kilogram, with several methods available for this determination.
