Abstract

Abstract A long-term test was started in 1979 to evaluate the clinical serviceability of a zinc-phosphate and a polycarboxylate cement. After 54 months observation both cements had served equally well. One crown had come loose in either group, but that was due to loosening of separately cemented posts and not to loosening of the outer crown. The results of the PAI scores indicated a possible difference in pulpal compatibility between the 2 cements, polycarboxylate cement giving the lowest scores.
