This fact is from Dental Cements — ZPC, GIC, Resin in Dental Materials. It is a commonly tested concept in NEET MDS examinations. Understanding this fact is crucial for answering MCQs correctly.
Zinc phosphate = gold standard luting strongest compressive strength
GIC = fluoride release chemical bond least soluble water based
Resin cement = best with all-ceramic restorations
ZOE = most biocompatible least irritating weakest cement
Polycarboxylate = chemical adhesion mild pulp response
Zinc silicophosphate = combined ZPC and silicate properties.
