The physical properties of two formulations containing o-ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA)-eugenol liquid and zinc oxide-hydrogenated rosin powder were investigated and compared with those of zinc oxide-eugenol and zinc phosphate cements.
With the exception of their higher coefficients of thermal expansion, the EBA cements had much better physical properties than zinc oxide-eugenol cement and showed compressive, tensile, and shear strengths that approached those of zinc phosphate cements.
Addition of heat-treated fused quartz to the powder improved the dimensional stability and strength of the EBA cements.
The materials appear promising as improved sedative bases and as pulp-capping and cementing media.
