title: The flow properties of dental cements.
abstract: The flow properties of several major types of dental cements were investigated using slow compressive strength and creep techniques. Considerable differences were found in their behavior. Whereas the phosphate-bonded and glass-ionomer cements exhibited brittle fracture, the other cements tended to distort to a greater or lesser extent under load. All cements showed some creep under load but the extent of this varied considerably; the creep of phosphate-bonded cements being very small and that of the eugenol and related cements considerable.
