A poly(carboxylate) cement pack comprising a water soluble poly(carboxylic acid) having a relative viscosity of from 1.05 to 2.00, a chelating agent and a cement powder which will react with the poly(carboxylic acid) in the presence of the chelating agent and water to give a plastic mass which rapidly hardens to form a poly(carboxylate) cement.

Hardenable compositions

A cement-forming liquid suitable for use as a component of a poly(carboxylate) cement comprises an aqueous solution of a copolymer of acrylic acid, the copolymer having an average molecular weight of less than 20,000, and the solution having a viscosity of less than 50 poise.

Cements

Dental cement containing poly(carboxylic acid), chelating agent and

A poly(carboxylate) cement pack comprises as one component a water soluble poly(carboxylic acid) or a precursor thereof, and as another component an aluminosilicate glass, the ratio of acidic to basic oxides in the glass being selected such that the glass will react with a poly(carboxylic acid) in the presence of water to form a poly(carboxylate) cement.
