title: [Compressive strength and deformation of dental cements].
abstract: Several dental cements have been tested for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and plastic strain at fracture. Sylindrical specimens (4 x 6 mm) were compressed to fracture with two different crosshead speeds (2 mm/min, 0.1 mm/min) at two temperatures (23 +/- 1 degrees C and 37 +/- 1 degrees C). The results showed that the zinc phosphate cement had relatively high strength and a very small elastic and plastic strain during compression. The luting type of glass-ionomer cements showed properties near to that of the zinc phosphate cement. The other cements had either lower strength or higher elastic and plastic deformation than the zinc phosphate cement. Several cements showed a marked reduction of the mechanical properties when tested at a low crosshead speed or at 37 degrees C.
