Theoretical temperature (°C) vs. time (min) curve of PMMA cement. This graph is a schematic representation of the shape of the cement temperature-versus-time curve that is consistent with ASTM F451-08. The temperature-versus-time curve was plotted and the setting time, t set = setting time, T set = setting temperature, T max = maximum exothermic temperature, and T ambient = ambient room temperature
