Abstract

Glass polyalkenoate cements (GPCs) have previously been considered for orthopedic applications. A Zn–GPC (BT 101) was compared to commercial GPCs (Fuji IX and Ketac Molar) which have a setting chemistry analogous to BT 101. Handling properties (working, T w and setting, T s times) for BT 101 were shorter than the commercial GPCs. BT 101 also had a higher setting exotherm (S x —34 °C) than the commercial GPCs (29 °C). The maximum strengths for BT 101, Fuji IX, and Ketac Molar were 75, 238, and 216 MPa (compressive, σ c), and 34, 54, and 62 MPa (biaxial flexural strengths, σ f), respectively. The strengths of BT 101 are more suitable for spinal applications than commercial GPCs.
