Study Notes
Dental Cements
- Cementation in dentistry refers to the process of filling gaps or binding materials together using a cement-like substance.
Key Factors in Dental Cements
- Achieving good retention, insulation, and marginal seal are crucial in dental cements.
Adhesion in Dental Cements
- Phosphoric acid is the material used to produce adhesion in dental cements.
Luting Cements
- Luting cements are used to hold restorations, such as inlays, onlays, and crowns, in place.
Metallic Bond
- The bonding between similar materials, such as two pieces of pure gold under pressure, resulting from a metallic bond is called solid-state welding or diffusion bonding.
