| Zinc phosphate cement | Permanent cementation of crown, post, inlays, ortho appliance | -good compressive and tensile strength | -more pulpal irritation
-no chemical bond to tooth |
| Zinc polycarboxylate cement
-Poly F |
-indicated in restoration with good retention and resistance form | -chemically bonds with tooth
-bonds to metal (except gold) -minimal pulp irritation (due to larger size of polyacrylic acid molecules) |
-short working time |
| GIC | -in high caries risk pt
-C/I in all ceramic crowns |
-chemically bonds to tooth
-bonds to metals (SS, base metals) except for gold -fluoride release |
-post op sensitivity due to initial low pH |
| RMGIC | -indicated for metallic and PFM restorations, zirconia and alumina-based ceramics, and lithium-disillicate pressed and milled (CAD/CAM) inlays and onlays | ||
| Resin cement | -light cure, dual cure, self cure | -translucency
-low film thickness -adhesion that occur between tooth prep and ceramic in direct restoration |
