title: Effect of manipulative variables on the properties of a polycarboxylate cement.
abstract: Strength and film thickness increased in polycarboxylate cement as the powder liquid ratio is increased and there is a tendency to reduction in adhesion which was more marked when cementation was delayed for three minutes with a 2:1 powder liquid ratio.
