Summary A new group of dental cements for cavity lining and pulp capping is reported. The mechanical and adhesive properties of the cements, which were designated cement I, II and III, were assessed and compared with a commercially available polycarboxylate cement and calcium hydroxide containing material. The experimental cements were mechanically suitable for use as base materials and proved to be adhesive to dentine, especially cement I which gave adhesive bond values comparable to those of the polycarboxylate cement.
