An In Vitro Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of a New Dual-cure, Universal, Bioactive Luting Cement
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Aim and background: The aim of this study was to determine the properties of a new luting cement, BioCem®, by evaluating shear bond strength (SBS) and flexural strength (FS). Materials and methods: -test. Results: Upon comparing the SBS values of the luting agents and prepared enamel surfaces, glass ionomer cement (GIC) displayed the highest value, while BioCem® displayed the lowest. Upon comparing the FS values of the luting agents and prepared enamel surfaces, BioCem® performed better than GIC. Conclusion: BioCem® may be used as a luting agent for the cementation of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) on primary teeth. Clinical significance: BioCem®, a recently developed luting cement, may be used for cementing SSCs to the surfaces of prepared deciduous teeth; it exhibits significantly higher FS but lower SBS than that of GIC.
