Enamel corrosion produced by zinc phosphate dental cement.

Abramovich A, Macchi RL, Ribas LM.

The application of a phosphoric acid solution or of a zinc phosphate cement mix on enamel surface causes alteration of its structure. The lesions of the enamel are cavities of irregular shapes that might retain debris. In view of the high solubility of disintegration of the cement, those cavities can be considered potential sites of plaque installation and initiation of carious processes.
