ČSN EN ISO 9917-2

This document specifies requirements and test methods for water-based dental cements in which setting is achieved by a combination of an acid-base reaction and polymerization. The materials are intended for luting, base or lining, restoration and tooth core build up purposes. EXAMPLE: Conventional glass polyalkenoate cements are normally formed by reacting an ion-leachable aluminosilicate glass with a polyalkenoic acid in an aqueous environment. Materials that fall within the scope of this document will normally be able to effect setting by such an aqueous acid-base type reaction but in addition will be able to undergo setting by polymerization. NOTE: The attention of manufacturers and test laboratories is drawn to the closely-related International Standards ISO 4049 and ISO 9917-1 so that they can consider which is the most appropriate for evaluating any individual product.
