Characteristics of the main properties of zinc phosphate cement

Bactericidal and modified cements

— Unitem (Vladmiva) is a universal, improved zinc-phosphate dental cement with high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The powder consists of zinc oxide, with modifying additives, and the liquid consists of orthophosphoric acid of reduced activity.

— Unicem bactericidal (Vladmiva) is a universal improved zinc-phosphate dental cement containing the optimal amount of a bacteriostatically effective form of silver. Used in pediatric dentistry for filling temporary teeth.

— -Adhesor (Spofa Dental) – zinc-phosphate cement, Adhesorfine (Spofa Dental) – modified zinc-phosphate cement with a fine structure.

— Phosphate cement containing silver. To improve the bactericidal properties, silver (1.547%) is added to the powder composition. The material is recommended as an insulating gasket when filling molars with metal and other fillings, for filling canals, in pediatric dentistry for filling temporary teeth. Analogs: Bactericidal Unitem (Vladmiva).

— Visphat cement refers to zinc phosphate cements. Its powder contains about 3% bismuth oxide. It hardens faster, is stronger than phosphate cement, and is less soluble. It is used as an insulating lining when filling teeth with metal fillings, silicate cements, acrylic and epoxy resins.

— Dioxyvisfate Dioxidine is included in the composition of this cement. Dioxyvisfate powder is a mixture of visfate and dioxidine, the liquid is orthophosphoric acid, partially neutralized with zinc oxide and aluminum hydroxide. Cement has bactericidal properties, has high mechanical strength, is slightly soluble, and is intended for filling temporary teeth, as a therapeutic and insulating spacer, for fixing inlays, pin teeth, and bridges.

Types of crowns

Popular materials include metal, plastic, metal ceramics, pure ceramics or glass ceramics, and zirconium dioxide.

The most affordable option is plastic. Most often it is used as a temporary option due to its low strength.

Another affordable and popular option is cermet. Ceramic is applied in layers onto a metal frame that perfectly follows the shape of the front tooth. The product is fired for special strength. This type of crown is reliable and quite aesthetic.

Among its disadvantages:

• possible allergy to metal;
• negative impact on the natural tooth and gums;
• slight external difference from natural teeth.

To avoid the last unpleasant moment, metal ceramics are placed along the entire smile line. Then the difference is not noticeable at all.

Metal crowns for the front teeth are very durable, but not aesthetically pleasing. Because of this defect, they are now almost never used.

An excellent option for front teeth is all-ceramic crowns. They are practically indistinguishable from real teeth and have maximum biological compatibility with them.

Plastic and ceramic types are used mainly for aesthetic purposes. Due to their high fragility, such crowns are installed only on the front teeth. They will not withstand the load on chewing ones.

Sealers-Endogermetics in Dentistry

No high-quality endodontics is complete without a sealer. In simple words, a sealer is a material, in this case cement, paste, that fills the space between the wall of the root canal and gutta-percha. Sealers not only provide tight sealing of the root canal, but also prevent the development of infection inside the root canal and outside its apex, so it is very important to know and understand what, why and how to use a sealer. Indeed, for each clinical case it is necessary to choose a specific chemical and physical composition of the sealer. There are many types of sealers on the dental market; in this article I will try to introduce you to some of them.

Requirements for the sealer

The requirements for the sealer are quite logical and meet the requirements of quality patient treatment. First of all, the sealer must be biologically compatible and not have a pathological effect on periodontal tissue or the general health of the patient. In addition, a high-quality sealer should not change the color of the tooth some time after filling the root canal. The next requirement for the sealer is its resistance to moisture and gingival fluid; the sealer should not dissolve in them. For a doctor, the requirements for a sealer are as follows:

• Convenient working hours;
• The material must be plastic, tightly seal the teeth canals;
• Possess adhesion to tooth dentin;
• Do not shrink;
• Do not form pores;
• Be radiopaque;
• Teeth filled with sealer should be easily refilled if necessary;

In addition, the sealer must influence the microflora of the root canal and have either a static/cidal effect in relation to microbial agents.

Unfortunately, most sealers are not 100% insensitive to moisture or gingival fluid. As a result, the formation of microspaces, micropores, microleakages at the border of gutta-percha and the wall of the root canal. And any space is filled with pathogenic microbes, which causes the development of a pathological process.

The course of the hardening reaction

Ion formation , dissolution stage. The acid reacts with the upper glass particles, forming calcium, fluorine, aluminum and sodium cations;

Primary gelation , hardening - polyacid molecules quickly cross-link with each other and with aluminum and calcium ions. At this stage, the pH of the cement increases markedly, and the polyacid molecules turn into a gel;

Final hardening - strong ionic cross-links are formed, mainly from fluorine and aluminum polyalkenate. This stage lasts about a day. It also completely stops the formation of silica gel on glass particles.

Due to the fact that aluminum is a trivalent element, a very high degree of cross-linking is ensured, which ultimately makes the cement extremely strong.

When cement hardens completely, it is structurally composed of glass particles surrounded by silica gel. All particles are located in a matrix created from cross-linked polyacid molecules, along with insoluble phosphate and fluorine salts.

Adhesor Fine, Carbofine (Fine, Carbofine): instructions

Adhesor Fine is a modified cement with a fixing action.
It is based on zinc phosphate with a fine-grained structure. Thanks to its fine grain, it can be laid in an ultra-thin layer (no more than 25 microns). The manufacturer is the company Spofa Dental. Adhesor Carbofine is a cushioning material that does not have a toxic effect on the dental pulp. It is a radiopaque material, excellent for isolating a preparation based on calcium hydroxide and permanent filling material.

The cement is packaged in two containers. Powder (80 g) is placed in one, liquid (55 g) in the other.

Adhesor Fine

How is the operation performed?

Under local anesthesia, a resection of the apex of the tooth is performed; the doctor peels off a flap of gum from the jaw and removes the apex of the tooth root. The required shape is given as soon as a flat and smooth surface remains. Mandatory treatment with an antiseptic is also necessary, sometimes this must be done twice. Then, the air is dried and etched out, and treated with adsorbents. After the necessary preparation, the filling material is inserted and covered with a dry swab until polymerization occurs. Then the cavity is again treated with an antiseptic, and the excess filling material is removed. The gum flap is sewn into place.

The stitches are usually removed after an average of a week. It is recommended to remove the ichor throughout this time, and radiotherapy is sometimes prescribed for successful rehabilitation. During the postoperative period after surgery, you must maintain careful oral hygiene and follow all the doctor’s instructions. The recovery program for each patient is individual; it includes taking antihistamines, anti-inflammatory drugs, immunostimulating and some other drugs. If all instructions are strictly followed, the possibility of any postoperative complications is reduced to a minimum.
