Clinical Studies of Dental Cements: II. Further Investigation of Two Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Cements for Temporary Restorations

摘要

Two zinc oxide-eugenol cements of compressive strengths of 2,200 psi and 3,500 psi, selected in a previous study, were compared in a blind clinical study for suitability as a cementing material for temporary restorations. No difference was detectable clinically between the two cements in relation to retentive quality, taste, removal of the restoration when required, and cleaning the dentin.
