title: Solubility and water absorption of orthodontic cements.
abstract: Solubility and water absorption of eight orthodontic cements were determined as a function of time. Two brands of BIS-GMA and three brands of acrylic cements ranked about equally in solubility and water absorption. Three brands of polycarboxylate cements were appreciably poorer in these properties.
