An in vitro study of zinc in dentine beneath cavities filled with two dental cements.
The concentrations of zinc ions in dentine in vitro beneath cavities filled with zinc oxide/eugenol and zinc phosphate cements were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. No significant difference was recorded between the two materials over a period of 15 weeks. The clinical significance of this finding is discussed.
