A New Technique for Radiopacity Evaluation of Resin Cements

Conclusions: eCEMENT DC, MaxCem Elite Chroma, BisCem, NX3, and Maxcem Elite had higher radiopacity than dentin. Those with lower radiopacity than dentin (G-CEM, I-CEM, Choice 2, Duo Link, and TheraCem) should be carefully used in both subgingival located or radiolucent restorations and implant-supported prostheses. Dead pixel calibration enables materials to be evaluated more accurately and this method will also make it possible for the first time in literature to compare the same samples with each other on different phosphor plates.
