Dental cement is a type of adhesive used in dentistry to bond dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances, to the natural tooth structure. It is typically made from a combination of powder and liquid components, which may include zinc oxide, glass ionomer, or resin-based materials. The choice of material often depends on the specific application and desired properties, such as strength, aesthetic appearance, and setting time.

| Setting time | Varies from a few minutes to several hours depending on the type |
| Bond strength | Typically ranges from 5 to 30 MPa |
| Color options | Available in various shades to match natural teeth |
| Shelf life | Generally ranges from 1 to 3 years |
When selecting dental cement, consider the specific application it will be used for, such as permanent or temporary restorations. It's important to specify the type of cement required, such as resin-based or glass ionomer, as well as any necessary properties like setting time and bond strength. Additionally, inquire about certifications or compliance with dental standards to ensure quality and safety. Quantities should be based on the anticipated usage in your practice.
