Resin-based cements – properties affecting clinical success of indirect restorations -

Many clinicians prefer polymer-based, also known as resin-based, cements, when cementing indirect restorations. Especially when the restorations are made of all ceramic materials. A recent paper looks into cement properties that affect clinical success of indirect restorations.

Resin-based cements – properties affecting clinical success of indirect restorations -

Resin-based cements are frequently used for cementing indirect restorations, especially when the restorations are made of all-ceramic material. The cement has many important roles, e.g. prevent loosening of the restoration and provide optical matching with tooth substance or mask discoloration. Pre-treatment of tooth substance and restoration, cement composition and strength, mixing and application method, depth […]
