Abstract

Actually, many dental cements are available to cement fixed prosthesis at dental clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cements used to fixed prosthesis by specialists who work at city of Porto Alegre with a questionnaire. A questionnaire with 22 questions was elaborated and applied to professionals registered at Regional Dentistry Council (CRO). From the 225 electable subjects, 39 were excluded. The sample of 186 specialists, 72 weren´t interviewed. The 114 interviewed subjects represented a 61.29% of response rate. The graduate year of 52% of subjects was between 1981 and 2000, and 63% finished the post graduate course after 1991. To final cementation of fixed metal ceramic prosthesis, 65% used zinc phosphate cement. However, to cements metal free fixed prosthesis, 57% used resinous cement. With technological advances at rehabilitation materials, new materials and techniques were developed. However, the zinc phosphate cement is still the first choice to cement metal ceramic prosthesis to Porto Alegre specialists.
