Abstract
The mechanism of erosion of a zinc phosphate cement was studied using two experimental procedures: discs of dental cement were immersed in distilled water under unrenewed conditions as defined by ISO standard; or discs were immersed under continuously running distilled water to simulate the oral environment. Both experiments revealed no physical disintegration mechanism, and suggest that erosion is only controlled by dissolution.
