Dental Silicate Cements: XI. Electron Probe Studies

Abstract
Electron probe studies on polished sections of dental silicate cement show that it consists of well-defined particles embedded in a phosphate matrix. The matrix contains phosphorus, aluminum, and calcium but no silicon. The calcium and aluminum originate from the particle surface, which becomes an aluminosilica gel, whereas the phosphorus is derived from the cement liquid.
