Abstract:
This study evaluated the influence of three cleaning agents on the bond strength of complete crowns cemented with zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate cements. For the polycarboxylate cement group, three cleaning agents were used: Tergentol; Tergentol + polyacrylic acid; Tergentol + citric acid. Zinc phosphate cement was used as a control group with Tergentol. There were no statistically significant differences of mean retentive force for either cement regardless of the test conditions. The marginal fit after cementation was also evaluated and the results of zinc polycarboxylate were lower than zinc phosphate cement and were statistically significant.

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 ASTM C...
