Laboratory evaluation of an aromatic thermosetting acrylic crown and bridge cement is reported. Crown retention, as measured, was independent of film thickness. Because the material was insoluble and gave improved adhesion to gold alloy and tooth structure, it could offer greater latitudes in crown and bridge techniques.
