INTRODUCTION
• Numerous dentaltreatments necessiate attachment of indirect
restoration and appliances to the teeth by means of a cement.
• The long- term clinical outcome of fixed prosthodontic treatment
depends on the use of adhesives that can provide an
impervious seal between the restoration and the tooth.
5.
DEFINITIONS
• Cement Substance that hardens to act as base , liner , filling
material , or adhesive to bind devices or prosthesis to tooth
structure or to each other.
(Anusavice 11th Edition)
• Cementation Attaching a restoration to natural teeth by
means of a cement .
(GPT-9)
• Luting Agent any material used to attach or cement indirect
restorations to prepared teeth.
(GPT-9)

REQUIREMENTS OF LUTING
CEMENT
Adhesion to restorative material
Adequate strength to resist functional forces
Lack of solubility in oral tissues
Low film thickness
Biocompatibility with oral tissues
Radio-opaque
Anti-cariogenic properties
Relative ease of manipulation
Esthetic / color stability
An ideal luting cement should have physicomechanical properties resembling
those of dentine.
7.
CLASSIFICATION
• ISO classification( BASED ON INGREDIENTS)
Water-based cements Zinc phosphate, glass
ionomer, etc.
Oil-based cements ZOE and noneugenol
cements
Resin or polymer-based cements Resin cements, compomer, etc.
10.
• Classification ofcements based on
application (ISO 9917-1:2007)*
a. Luting
b. Bases or lining
c. Restoration
11.
BONDING MECHANISM
• Accordingto Schillinburg , the cement , tooth surface and
prostheses interface bonding mechanism can be divided into 3
types :-
Non Adhesive ( mechanical )
Micromechanical
Molecular
12.
NON ADHESIVE (MECHANICAL)
•The luting agent served primarily to fill the gap and prevent
entrance of fluids.
• It holds the restoration in place by engaging small irregularities
on the surfaces of both tooth and restoration
• Exhibits no adhesion on the molecular level.
• For eg Zinc Phosphate
• The nearly parallel opposing walls of a correctly prepared tooth
make it impossible to remove the restoration without shearing or
crushing the minute projections of cement extending into
recesses in the surfaces.
13.
The crown canbe removed only along the path (large arrow)
determined by the axial walls of the preparation. Cement
extending into small irregularities of the adjoining surfaces
{shown magnified in the two large circles) prevents removal
along any path more vertical than the sides of the irregularities
(small arrows).
14.
MICROMECHANICAL BONDING
The deepirregularities necessary for micromechanical bonding can
be produced on enamel surfaces by etching with a phosphoric
acid solution or gel21, on ceramics by etching with hydrofluoric
acicF; and on metals by electrolytic etching, chemical etching,
sandblasting, or by incorporating salt crystals into the preliminary
resin pattern.
Resin cements have tensile strengths in the range of 30 to 40 MPa,
which is approximately five times that of zinc phosphate cement.
When used on pitted surfaces, they can provide effective
micromechanical bonding
15.
Composite resin cementshold the restoration to the tooth by
penetrating into deep and small surface pits.
16.
MOLECULAR ADHESION
• Molecularadhesion involves physical forces (bipolar,
Van der Waals and chemical bonds (ionic, covalent)
between the molecules of two different substances.
• Newer cements, such as polycarboxylates and glass
ionomers, possess some adhesive capabilities,
although this is limited by their relatively low cohesive
strength. They still depend primarily on nearly parallel
walls in the preparation to retain restorations.
17.
True adhesion isthe molecular attraction exerted
between the surface of bodies in contact.
• APPLICATIONS
1. Lutingof restorations (inlays, crowns, fixed dental prostheses, etc.)
2. High strength bases.
3. Temporary restorations.
4. Luting of orthodontic bands and brackets.
• CLASSIFICATION
ISO 9917-1:2007 designates them as
a. Luting (Maximum film thickness—25 μm)
b. Bases and lining
• AVAILABLE AS
• •. Powder and liquid system.
• •. Capsules of preproportioned powder and liquid.
21.
SETTING REACTION
When thepowder is mixed with liquid, phosphoric acid
attacks the surface of the particles and releases zinc ions.
The aluminum in the liquid is essential for cement formation.
The aluminum complexes with the phosphoric acid and the
zinc ions to form a zinc aluminophosphate gel. The reaction
is exothermic.
MIXING TIME 1.5-2min (Philips)
WORKING TIME 5 min (Philips)
SETTING TIME 5-9 min (CRAIG)
5-14 min (O’BREIN)

of acrylic acid with other carboxylic acids, such as itaconic
Acid.
Molecular weight ranges from 30,000 to 50,000
Acid concentration 32-42%
31.
SETTING REACTION
• Whenthe powder and liquid are mixed, the surface of powder
particles are attacked by the acid, releasing zinc, magnesium
and tin ions. These ions bind to the polymer chain via the
carboxyl groups. They also react with carboxyl groups of
adjacent polyacid chains to form cross-linked salts.
• Structure of set cement
The hardened cement consists of an amorphous gel matrix of zinc
polyacrylate in which unreacted powder particles are dispersed.
33.
MECHANISM OF ADHESION
•Chemical bond to tooth structure.
• The polyacrylic acid bonds to calcium ions on the surface of enamel or
dentin via Carboxyl group on the surface of enamel and dentin
• Bond with Enamel (3.4–13.1 Mpa) > Dentin (2.07 MPa)
• Weak bond with gold
• No perceptible bond with porcelain
• MIXING OF CEMENT

46.
LIQUID
COMPONENT FUNCTION
Polyacrylic acidin the form of
copolymer
with itaconic acid, maleic acid
and
tricarballylic acid
Copolymerizing with itaconic,
maleic acid, etc. tends to
increase reactivity of the liquid,
decrease viscosity and
reduce tendency for gelation
Tartaric acid (5% by mass) Improves the handling
characteristics, increases
working time
and shortens setting time.
WATER Water is the most important
constituent of the cement
liquid,
it is the medium of reaction and
it hydrates the reaction
products. The amount of water
in the liquid is critical. Too
much water results in a weak
cement. Too little water impairs
the reaction and subsequent
hydration
Mixing with astiff spatula on non absorbant pad.
2 increments. First increment is mixed for 5-10 sec subequent increment.
Total mixing time should not exceed 30-40 sec
Glossy finish – residual polyacid for adhesion
Dull mix : reduced
adhesion.

• Aqueous solution of Polycarboxylic acid modified with pendant methacrylate
group
• Tartaric acid
• 2 , hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers (HEMA)
54.
SETTING REACTION
• Settingincludes both polymerization and acid-base reaction.
The initial setting occurs by polymerization of the methacrylate
groups giving it a high early strength.
• Polymerization may be light cured or chemical cured depending
on the type of cement.
• Subsequently the acid-base reaction sets it thereby completing
the setting reaction and giving the cement its final strength.
• Working time >2.5 min
• Setting time about - 5 min from placement (depends on brand)
55.
MECHANISM OF RETENTION
•Several RMGI systems (e.g. RelyXTM Luting Cement and RelyXTM Luting
Plus Cement, 3M ESPE) do not require any etching, priming or conditioning
of the tooth and thus can be considered as self-adhesive cements. Others,
such as AdvanceTM (Caulk/Dentsply) and FujiTM CEM or FujiTM Plus (GC
Dental), suggest the use of additional conditioning agents.
• Adhesion is a combination of 2 factors :-
• the modification of the dentinal smear layer and interpenetration of the
dentinal tubules by the fluid cement followed by polymerization and
entanglement with collagen fibers;
• • ionic reaction of the polycarboxylate with the calcium ions of hydroxyapatite
56.
APPLICATION
• Restoration ofClass I, III or V cavities.

63.
MANIPULATION
• use ofdental bonding agents is essential to obtain adequate bond strength
of the cement to the tooth structure.
• the use of an etchant, e.g. 37% phosphoric acid gel
• moisture control is critical.
• surface of the prosthetic device also has to be prepared by sand-blasting or
chemical treatments, e.g. with a silane primer.
• Working time is 2–4 min while set time is 5–10 min
• It is very important to clean up the cement within the window of time

• Bonding mechanism with tooth :- Micromechanical Interlocking
and chemical Interaction between acidic groups and
hydroxyapatite
• Fluoride content is low (10%) and its beneficial effects have not
been clinically proven.
70.
CONCLUSION
• No singleluting agent is ideal in all the clinical situations.
• Several new materials are available differing each other in
content and physical attributions. Therefore it may be difficult to
the dentist to make a choice amongst so many alternative
products. Each luting agent has different physical, mechanical
and biological characteristics resulting from its chemical
structure. So, to achieve a clinical success, the clinician should
be aware of the qualities, advantages and disadvantages of
each type of cement.
