Substitution of aluminum oxide for fused quartz in zinc oxide-eugenol-o-ethoxybenzoic acid cements improved compressive strength and lessened film thickness. Physical properties were similar to those of zinc phosphate cement. The material is useful clinically for crown and bridge cementation. for insulating bases, and for temporary restorations.
