Background: Limited data exist on the performance of low-viscosity cement in clinically realistic cadaver models.
Methods: Paired stem/cement/femur constructs were generated with low-viscosity and standard-viscosity cements. The constructs were created and tested under simulated in vivo conditions, for which novel techniques were developed during this study. Mantle function was quantified by stem/cortex micromotions over 105cycles of "stair-climbing". Mantle morphology was determined from transverse sections.
Results: Penetration of low-viscosity cement was greater proximally but less distally (p = 0.02). Low-viscosity cement resulted in more stem retroversion (p = 0.04), but there was no difference in subsidence (p = 0.4). Low-viscosity cement mantles had greater fractions of non-apposed interface (p = 0.006). Fraction of non-apposed interface predicted stem retroversion (R2 = 0.64, p = 0.002).
Interpretation: Low-viscosity cement resulted in inferior cement mantles. Early micromotion was reduced by better interface apposition. The greater stem retroversion of low-viscosity cement would probably lead to higher revision rates. Early stem migration is due to interface non-apposition. Techniques should be developed to reduce non-apposition of cemented interfaces.

Collapsible soils pose significant geotechnical challenges due to their tendency to exhibit high strength under natural moisture conditions but undergo substantial settlement upon wetting. To address this issue, various stabilizing agents, including lime, cement, silicates, resins, and acids, have been explored. This study investigates the effectiveness of colloidal silica (CS), a low-viscosity solution capable of forming a gel, as a stabilizing agent.

Fifty percent of people worldwide suffer from periodontitis, a chronic inflammation of the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth. Effective filling of dental pockets is paramount for successful treatment outcomes in periodontal therapy. This review examines all the important aspects of in situ-forming dental cement for filling dental pockets.

This retrospective study compared cement penetration, the radiolucent line (RLL) incidence, and clinical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using high-viscosity cement (HVC) versus low-viscosity cement (LVC) with a minimum follow-up of two years. We hypothesized that LVC would result in superior cement penetration and a reduced RLL incidence compared with HVC without differences in clinical outcomes. A total of 100 patients (50 HVC, 50 LVC) who underwent TKA with the same implant design were included.

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the novel radio-opaque universal adhesive "Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive Plus" compared to conventional universal adhesive "Single Bond Universal" over 24 months in cervical carious lesions. Fifty participants with cervical carious lesions were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 25); either Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive (intervention) or Single Bond™ Universal Adhesive (control). Restorations were assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 months using the modified USPHS criteria.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the fit performance of implant infrastructures manufactured by five different techniques: heat-press (IPS), milling (ZIR), lost wax (CER), calcinable cylinder (CAL), and CAD/Waxx® (CAD).
Methods: The methodology was based on the Replica Technique, which can simulate and evaluate the fit of the infrastructure on the implant component. Thus, each infrastructure was internally filled with low-viscosity silicone addition and seated on the component until its final setting, obtaining the replica of the cementation space.
