Materials used to bond teeth or materials to teeth

Dental cements have a wide range of dental and orthodontic applications. Common uses include temporary restoration of teeth, cavity linings to provide pulpal protection, sedation or insulation and cementing fixed prosthodontic appliances.[1] Recent uses of dental cement also include two-photon calcium imaging of neuronal activity in brains of animal models in basic experimental neuroscience.[2]

Traditional cements have separate powder and liquid components which are manually mixed to form a viscous liquid. The liquid sets to form a brittle solid after application on the treated surface. More advanced cements, such as GIC, can come in capsules and are mechanically mixed using rotating or oscillating mixing machines.[3]
