The retention of gold crowns on human dentine preparations--a comparison of eight cements.
Experiments were carried out to compare the retentive properties of eight dental luting cements, using gold crowns cemented onto human dentine. The order of retention of the cements was: 1 Composite (Panavia-Ex, J & S Davis); 2 Glass-ionomer. (AquaCem, DeTrey); Glass-ionomer (Ketac-Bond, Cottrell); and Polycarboxylate (Bondalcap, Vivadent); 3 Polycarboxylate (Poly F Plus, DeTrey); Zinc phosphate (DeTrey); and Zinc phosphate (Phosphacap, Vivadent); and 4 Zinc oxide/eugenol, alumina, EBA (Opotow, Teledyne Getz).
