STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF ULTRASONIC INSTRUMENTATION ON BOND STRENGTH OF SEVERAL DENIAL CEMENTS

Ultrasonic instruments transfer electrical energy to mechanical energy resulting in vibration used for various dental treatments. If we could know the effect of ultrasonic instruments on the dental cements within the cast crown, we could take care when conducting periodontal surgery and when using the ultrasonic instrument to remove cast crown, it would be much more convenient. The purpose of this study was to compare the bond strength of several dental cements according to ultrasonic instrumentation time. In this study 4 types of cements were used to cement the specimens. they were treated with ultrasonic instrumentation for 0-5 minutes and the change in bond strength were statistically compared. The results were as followed. 1. The tensile bond strength of zinc phosphate cement decreased according to the increase in time of ultrasonic instrument and showed significant difference between 0 minutes and the others and between 1 minute and 2,3,4,5 minutes (p<0.05). 2. The tensile bond strength of polycarboxylate cement decreased according to the increase in time of ultrasonic instrument and showed significant difference between 5 minutes and the others and between 4 minutes and 0 minutes (p<0.05). 3. The tensile bond strength of zinc phosphate cement decreased according to the increase in time of ultrasonic instrument and showed significant difference between 5 minutes and the others (p<0.05). 4. The tensile strength of resin cements showed no statistically differences according to the ultrasonic instrumentation time. In conclusion, it is considered that zinc phosphate cements is most affected by ultrasonic instrumentations and resin cement is the least affected. When using ultrasonic instruments the result avove should be used as an index.
