  • Title: Antimicrobial action of dental cements.
    Author: Schwartzman B, Caputo AA, Schein B.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1980 Mar; 43(3):309-12. PubMed ID: 6766503.
    Abstract:
    It was observed that some of the cements tested had bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal action. The cements listed in decreasing order of effectiveness are (1) zinc oxide-eugenol, (2) silicophosphate, (3) zinc phosphate, and (4) silicate. The two newer cements, polycarboxylate and composite resin, exhibited no measurable antimicrobial action.
