Which of the following is the most important in strength of ZOE?
Correct Answer: Liquid powder ratio
Description: The solubility of the set cement is highest among the cements (0.4 to 1.5 % wt). They disintegrate in oral fluids. This breakdown is due to hydrolysis of the zinc eugenolate matrix to form zinc hydroxide and eugenol. Solubility is reduced by increasing the powder/liquid (P/L) ratio.
