Effect of seating force on film thickness of new adhesive luting agents.
This study examined the effect of seating force on the film thickness of new adhesive luting agents. The method was in compliance with American National Standards/American Dental Association Specification No. 8 for zinc phosphate cement. The materials tested were zinc phosphate cement, glass ionomer cement, polycarboxylate cement, and a resinous cement with a dentinal bonding agent. All materials were manipulated exactly as described in the manufacturer's instructions, and an electronic gauge with an accuracy of 0.5 micron was used. Each class of material was measured 10 times at six different seating forces. Analysis of variance and multiple comparisons testing disclosed that the seating force and class of material strongly influenced the film thicknesses of luting agents. A mathematical model describing the response of zinc phosphate cement within the range tested was reported.
