Pressuring techniques and cement thickness for cast restorations. 1978

E Koyano, and M Iwaku, and T Fusayama

1. Dynamic pressure produced thinner cement films than static pressure. The cement film was thinner with vibratory pressure than with the mallet. The thickness was slightly less with vertical vibration than with horizontal vibration. Horizontal vibration seemed preferable because it could be used with increased pressure without causing trauma or pain. 2. The combination of static pressure followed by dynamic pressure produced thinner cement films than any individual pressuring technique. 3. The optimal technique for clinical use is to seat the casting by finger pressure and then apply horizontal vibration under hand pressure.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007284	Inlays	Restorations of metal, porcelain, or plastic made to fit a cavity preparation, then cemented into the tooth. Onlays are restorations which fit into cavity preparations and overlay the occlusal surface of a tooth or teeth. Onlays are retained by frictional or mechanical factors.

D011312	Pressure	A type of stress exerted uniformly in all directions. Its measure is the force exerted per unit area. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed)	Pressures
D002484	Cementation	The joining of objects by means of a cement (e.g., in fracture fixation, such as in hip arthroplasty for joining of the acetabular component to the femoral component). In dentistry, it is used for the process of attaching parts of a tooth or restorative material to a natural tooth or for the attaching of orthodontic bands to teeth by means of an adhesive.	Cementations
D003442	Crowns	A prosthetic restoration that reproduces the entire surface anatomy of the visible natural crown of a tooth. It may be partial (covering three or more surfaces of a tooth) or complete (covering all surfaces). It is made of gold or other metal, porcelain, or resin.

D003737	Dental Cavity Preparation	An operation in which carious material is removed from teeth and biomechanically correct forms are established in the teeth to receive and retain restorations. A constant requirement is provision for prevention of failure of the restoration through recurrence of decay or inadequate resistance to applied stresses.

D014732	Vibration	A continuing periodic change in displacement with respect to a fixed reference. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed)	Vibrations
D015036	Zinc Phosphate Cement	A material used for cementation of inlays, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances and occasionally as a temporary restoration. It is prepared by mixing zinc oxide and magnesium oxide powders with a liquid consisting principally of phosphoric acid, water, and buffers.
