title: Comparison of impact strength of joints made with four dental cements.
abstract: Tests on 4 cements showed the impact strength of joints between gold and tooth structure varied somewhat with the surface roughness and cementing force. Polycarboxylate provided stronger joints although the results were variable. Little difference was found between zinc phosphate, zinc oxide-eugenol with polymethyl methacrylate, and zinc oxide-eugenol with ortho ethoxybenzoic acid.
