 Root canal filling
 Periodontal / surgical packing
 Depending on their use they vary widely in their
properties. In general, they are cements of low

18.  POWDER
 Zinc oxide – 69.0% - principal ingredient
 White rosin - 29.3% - To reduce brittleness of set cement
 Zinc stearate -1.0% - Accelerator , plasticizer
 Zinc acetate – 0.7% - Is added in some powders, acts with eugenol in a
similar manner as zinc oxide
LIQUID
 Eugenol – 85.0 - Reacts with zinc oxide
 Olive oil - 15.0 - Plasticizer
 Zinc oxide is also main constituent of gutta-percha points mainly used in
endodontic root canal filling, commonly known as GP Points.

19.  First
ZnO + water  Zn(OH)2
 Second
Zn(OH)2+2HE  ZnE2 + H2O
SETTING TIME : 4 - 10 mins
Water accelerates the reaction
Zinc eugenolate is easily hydrolyzed by moistures

20.  Complete reaction between zinc oxide and
eugenol takes about 12 hrs. this is too slow for
clinical convenience.
 Manufacture: most active ZnO powders are
those formed from zinc salts like zinc
hydroxide, zinc carbonate by heating at 3000
degree Celsius.
 Particle size : smaller particles sets faster.
 Accelerators : Alcohol, glacial acetic acid, water
 Heat : cooling glass slab, slows reaction
 Retarders : the set can be treated with glycol ,
glycerin
 p/l ratio : higher the ratio, faster the set.

21.  MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:
 Compressive strength : are relatively weak cements.
Ranges from a low of 3 -4 Mpa upto 50-55 MPa.
 Tensile strength : 0.32- 5.3 MPa
 Modulus of elasticity : 0.22 – 5.3 GPa
 THERMAL PROPERTIES:
 Thermal conductivity : 3.98[Cal. Sec-1 cm-2]x
10-4
 Co-efficient of thermal expansion : 35x10-
6/celsius

22.  Solubility and Disintegration : solubility is highest
among cements (0.4 wt %) . Disintegrate in oral fluids.
Solubility is reduced by increasing p/l ratio.
 Film thickness :is 25 um, is higher than other
cements.
 Adhesion : do not adhere well to enamel or dentin
 Biological properties :
 PH and effect on pulp: PH is 7 -8 ; pulpal response
classified as mild
 Bacteriostatic and obtundant properties
 Optical properties : set cement is opaque

24.  P/L SYSTEM: p/l ratio : 4:1- 6:1 by wt
 Oil of orange is used to clean eugenol cement
from instruments.
 TWO PASTE SYSTEM: equal lts. Of each paste
are dispersed and mixed until a uniform color
is observed.
 SETTING TIME :4-10 MINS
 ZOE cements set quickly in mouth due to
moisture and heat.

27.  Introduced to improve mechanical properties of Zoë cement.
Modified ZOE cements are:
 EBA-Alumina modified cements
 Polymer reinforced
 EBA- ALUMINA MODIFIED CEMENTS:
 COMPOSITION
 POWDER : Zinc oxide- 70 %
 Alumina- 30 %
 LIQUID : EBA- 62.5 %
 Eugenol- 37.5 %
 PROPERTIES : Better than unmodified ZOE
 Com. St.- higher 55 Mpa
 Tensile St.- 4.1 Mpa
 Modulus of elasticity – 2.5 GPa
 Film thickness - 25um
 Solubility, disintegration in water -0.05 %wt

28. Glass slab are recommended for EBA- alumina
modified cements. after dispensing , powder is inco.
Into liquid in bulk, kneaded for 30 secs, and then
stropped for an additional 60 secs with broad strokes
of spatula to obtain a creamy consistency. They have
long working times.
SETTING TIME:
9.5 MINS

29.  Composition:
 POWDER : Zinc oxide- 70 %
 finely divided natural or synthetic resins
 LIQUID : Eugenol
 acetic acid – accelerator
 Thymol - antimicrobial
 zinc oxide is surface treated
 SETTING REACTION: Similar to zoe cements. acidic
resins, if present, may react with zinc oxide,
strengthening the matrix.
 SETTING TIME : 6-10 MINS
 FACTORS AFFECTING SETTING TIME:
 Low p/l ratio inc. setting time
 Moisture: accelerates setting time.

30.  Cements have improved mechanical properties.
 Compressive st :48 MPa
 Tensile st : 4.1 Mpa
 Modulus of elasticity : 2.5 GPa
 Film thickness : 32 um
 solubility ,disintegration : 0.03 % wt
 pulp response : similar to unmodified zoe -
moderate
 improved abrasion resistance and toughness.
 MANIPULATION :
 PROPER P/L is dispensed on a dry glass slab. Powder
is mixed into liquid in small portions with vigorous
spatulation.
 WORKING TIME : Long working time.

31.  Luting agent
 As base
 As temporary filling material,
 As cavity liner

32.  Some zoe materials contain antibiotics such as tetracycline,
steroids as anti- inflammatory agents. Their principal use is in
pulp capping and RCT. One product also contains barium
sulphate, which is radiopaque.
 ZINC OXIDE/ ZINC SULPHATE TEMPORARY
RESTORATIONS:
 These are single component temporary filling materials.
 Supplied as a single component putty like paste in small tubes,
syringes or plastic containers.
 Commercial Names : Cavit (ESPE) , Caviton (GC) , Coltosol
(Coltene)
 Use in short term temporary restorations after caries excavation,
RCT etc.


33.  COMPOSITION: zinc oxide; zinc sulphate -1- hydrate ; calcium
sulphate – hemihydrates ; dibutyl phthalate (plasticizer) ;
diatomaceous earth.
 SETTING REACTION: sets by chemical reaction, it sets by
reacting with water which it absorbs from the mouth or from the
cavity. Setting occurs slowly, expands on setting.
 SETTING TIME : Surface hardens in about 20 to 30 mins.
Complete hardening takes place in 2-3 hrs.
 PROPERTIES : May be white /pink colored. Has good initial
sealing. as expands on setting, marginal seal is further improved.
Seal gradually dec. with time. strenght is low, its life is short,so
material must be used for not more than 1-2 wks.
 MANIPULATION : material is dispensed, inserted into cavity
using a cement carrier . container should be closed immediately,
material is condensed into cavity using a plastic filling instrument
; as sets by hydration , cavity should not be fully dried before
placing the material.

34.  It is probably the most commonly used root canal
filling material for primary teeth.
 Camp in 1984 introduced endodontic pressure syringe
to over come the problem of underfilling .
 Underfilling is frequently clinically acceptable.
 Overfilling may cause a mild foreign body reaction.
 Another disadvantage of ZOE paste is difference
between its rate of resorption and that of the root tooth.

Comparison of materials used for
pulpectomy in primary teeth

37.  The material has been involved in a wide range
of applications in dentistry, including use as an
impression material for edentulous mouths, a
surgical dressing, bite registration paste,
temporary filling material, root canal filling
material, cementing medium, temporary
relining material for dentures . The physical
and mechanical properties and handling
characteristics generally are inferior to those of
other long –term luting cements. Main
advantage of improved ZOE cements is their
biocompatibility.
