bone cement

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13929
Synthetic, self-curing organic or inorganic material used to fill up a cavity or to create a mechanical fixation.
Notes:
  1. In situ self-curing can be the source of released reagents that can cause local and/or systemic toxicity as in the case of the monomer released from methacrylics-based bone cement used in orthopedic surgery.
  2. In dentistry, polymer-based cements are also used as fillers of cavities. They are generally cured photochemically using UV radiation in contrast to bone cements.
