Dentistry - Water-based cements - Part 2: Resin-modified cements (ISO 9917-2:2010)

This part of ISO 9917 specifies requirements and test methods for dental cements that are intended for luting, base or lining and restoration purposes and for which the materials are water-based and set by multiple reactions in which setting is achieved by a combination of an acid-base reaction and polymerization.

Zahnheilkunde - Wasserhärtende Zemente - Teil 2: Kunststoffmodifizierte Zemente (ISO 9917-2:2010)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für zahnärztliche Zemente fest, die für Befestigungen, Unterfüllungen oder Füllungen verwendet werden und bei denen die Zemente Wasser enthalten und durch mehrere Reaktionen abbinden, wobei die Härtung über die Kombination einer Säure-Base-Reaktion mit einer Polymerisation erfolgt.
BEISPIEL   Konventionelle Glas-Polyalkenoat-Zemente (Glasionomerzemente) werden im Allgemeinen durch eine Reaktion von ionenlöslichem Aluminiumsilikatglas mit einer polyalkenhaltigen Säure in wässriger Umgebung hergestellt. Bei den Zementen, die in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm fallen, erfolgt die Härtung üblicherweise durch solch eine wässrige Säure-Base-Reaktion, zusätzlich erfolgt jedoch eine Abbindung durch Polymerisation.
ANMERKUNG   Für Hersteller und Prüfinstitute wird auf die folgenden Normen hingewiesen, die eng mit dieser Norm verbunden sind. Für die Bewertung eines einzelnen Produktes sollte die Internationale Norm verwendet werden, die dafür am besten geeignet ist..

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9917-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 1, Filling and
restorative materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9917-2:1998), which has been technically
revised by the inclusion of resin-modified cements which set by both chemically activated and light-activated
polymerization.
ISO 9917 consists of the following parts, under the general title Dentistry — Water-based cements:
⎯ Part 1: Powder/liquid acid-base cements
⎯ Part 2: Resin-modified cements

Introduction
This part of ISO 9917 has been prepared in order to present the requirements and test methods for cements
in which setting is achieved by a combination of an acid-base reaction and polymerization. The polymerization
component of the reaction may be activated by mixing different components or through application of energy
from an external source. As far as possible, test methods employed within this part of ISO 9917 have been
harmonized with those used in ISO 4049 and ISO 9917-1.
Specific qualitative and quantitative requirements for freedom from biological hazard are not included in this
part of ISO 9917, but it is recommended that reference be made to ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405 when
assessing possible biological or toxicological hazards.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9917-2:2010(E)

Dentistry — Water-based cements —
Part 2:
Resin-modified cements
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9917 specifies requirements and test methods for dental cements that are intended for luting,
base or lining and restoration purposes and for which the materials are water-based and set by multiple
reactions in which setting is achieved by a combination of an acid-base reaction and polymerization.
EXAMPLE Conventional glass polyalkenoate cements are normally formed by reacting an ion-leachable
aluminosilicate glass with a polyalkenoic acid in an aqueous environment. Materials that fall within the scope of this part of
ISO 9917 will normally be able to effect setting by such an aqueous acid-base type reaction but in addition will be able to
undergo setting by polymerization.
NOTE Attention of manufacturers and test laboratories is drawn to the closely-related International Standards
ISO 4049 and ISO 9917-1. Consideration should be given as to which is the most appropriate International Standard by
which to evaluate any individual product.

as follows.
⎯ Class 1: materials in which the setting reaction of the polymerizable component is activated chemically
following mixing of components.
⎯ Class 2: materials in which the setting reaction of the polymerizable component is light-activated.
⎯ Class 3: materials in which the setting reaction of the polymerizable component is activated chemically
following mixing of components and may also be light-activated.
4.2 Applications

7 Test conditions and preparation of test specimens
7.1 Test conditions
Prepare and test all specimens at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 2) °C. Control the relative humidity to
ensure that it remains at (50 ± 20) % at all times. If the material was refrigerated for storage, allow it to reach
(23 ± 2) °C. Test equipment should be maintained at the condition specified in individual tests.
For Classes 2 and 3 materials, activating radiation shall be excluded during the determination of working time.
Water used in all tests specified in this part of ISO 9917 shall be prepared in accordance with ISO 3696,
grade 2.
For Classes 2 and 3 materials, reference shall be made according to the manufacturer's instructions (see
Table 2, item 26), which state the external energy source to be used. Care shall be taken to ensure that the
source is in a satisfactory working condition.
7.2 Method of mixing
The cement shall be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sufficient cement shall be mixed
to ensure that the preparation of each specimen is completed from one mix. A fresh mix shall be prepared for
each specimen.
NOTE For encapsulated materials, more than one capsule, simultaneously mixed, might be required for certain
specimens. Likewise, for materials supplied in single dose containers, several containers might be required for each test
specimen.
7.3 Inspection requirements
Visual inspection shall be used in determining compliance with 5.1 and Clause 8.
8 Packaging, marking and information to be supplied by the manufacturer
8.1 Packaging
The components of the material shall be supplied in properly sealed containers which adequately protect their
contents and have no adverse effect on the quality of the product.
An outer pack may be used to present the individual containers as a single unit.
NOTE Single paste and powder-liquid encapsulated products can be sold as a pack containing many unit doses of
material.
8.2 Marking and instructions for use
Information shall be clearly marked on the outermost packaging or containers (for multi-dose packs or
capsules), as appropriate, and as indicated in Table 2.
Instructions shall accompany each package of the material and shall include the information appropriate to the
material (see Clause 4), as indicated in Table 2.
Information additional to that specified in Table 2 may be supplied at the discretion of the manufacturer.
NOTE Some information is indicated as mandatory and other as optional. The symbol “/ ” indicates that this item is
either irrelevant or optional for the product. Table 2 contains several optional references and serves as a guide to the
manufacturer as to the sort of information which might be useful to dentists.

A.2 Determination of working time
A.2.1 Procedure
Classes 2 and 3 materials should be handled in the absence of light of wavelength 400 nm to 500 nm, for
example using a dark room and/or filtered light.
The test shall be performed under the conditions described in 7.1.
Place the mould (A.1.3), conditioned to (23 ± 1) °C, on the block (A.1.4) covered with the aluminium foil
(A.1.5), also conditioned to (23 ± 1) °C, and fill to a level surface with mixed cement.
