Dental Silicate Cements: XV. Effect of Particle Size of the Powder

Abstract

The effects of particle size of the powder on the physical and chemical properties of dental silicate cements were studied. Suggestions are given for improvement of these cements by changes in the particle size distribution of the powder.
