Summary

Optimal cement space for dental crowns varies by luting agent. Zinc phosphate cement requires at least 40 microns, while C & B Metabond and Panavia EX need 30 microns for best seating.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate seating of dental restorations is crucial for long-term success.
  • Understanding the optimal cement space is essential for predictable luting procedures.
  • Different luting agents have varying rheological properties that influence cement space requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the optimal die spacing for complete seating of crowns luted with different dental cements.
  • To compare the seating discrepancy of zinc phosphate cement, Panavia EX, and C & B Metabond at various simulated cement spaces.

Main Methods:

  • Stainless steel dies with simulated die spacing (0-80 microns) were used.
  • Machined brass crowns were seated with Phosphacap, Panavia EX, and C & B Metabond.
  • Seating discrepancy was measured after 60 seconds to evaluate optimal cement space.

Main Results:

  • Zinc phosphate cement achieved the most complete seating with a minimum of 40 microns of cement space.
  • Panavia EX and C & B Metabond demonstrated optimal seating with 30 microns of die spacing.
  • Seating discrepancy varied significantly based on the luting agent and provided cement space.

Conclusions:

  • The optimal cement space for complete crown seating is material-dependent.
  • A minimum of 40 microns is recommended for zinc phosphate cement, while 30 microns suffices for Panavia EX and C & B Metabond.
  • These findings aid in selecting appropriate cement space for predictable dental restoration luting.
