Resin cement selection for different types of fixed partial coverage restorations: A narrative systematic review

Abstract

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to review the selection criteria of resin cements for different types of partial coverage restorations (PCRs) and investigate if the type of restorations or restorative materials affect the type of selected resin cement.Materials and MethodsAn electronic search (1991–2023) was performed in PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases by combinations of related keywords.ResultsA total of 68 articles were included to review the selection criteria based on the advantages, disadvantages, indications, and performance of resin cements for different types of PCRs.ConclusionsThe survival and success of PCRs are largely affected by appropriate cement selection. Self‐curing and dual‐curing resin cements have been recommended for the cementation of metallic PCRs. The PCRs fabricated from thin, translucent, and low‐strength ceramics could be adhesively bonded by light‐cure conventional resin cements. Self‐etching and self‐adhesive cements, especially dual‐cure types, are not generally indicated for laminate veneers.

The influence of Zircos‐E® etchant, silica coating, and alumina air‐particle abrasion on the debonding resistance of endocrowns with three different preparation designs

“…Self‐adhesive cement has been recommended for the cementation of ceramic inlays and onlays. Clinical studies have shown that conditioning of dentin (Ghodsi et al, 2023 ) and etching of outer enamel (Peumans et al, 2013 ) are unnecessary for restorations with mechanical interlocking. This type of cement offers cost‐efficiency and simplified application, eliminating the need for complex protocols that can increase the risk of contamination and material application issues (Ghodsi et al, 2023 ).…”

Effect of Self-Adhesive Resin Cement Film Thickness on the Shear Bond Strength of Lithium Disilicate Ceramic–Cement–Tooth Triplex

“…This suggestion aims to form a clinically durable link between resin cement and tooth tissues as well as between resin cement and ceramic restoration [12]. Various types of resin cements are available and are generally categorized based on the application protocols: total etch and rinse systems (conventional), self-etch systems, and self-adhesive systems (all-in-one cement systems) [13].…”

“…To minimize the steps of cementation and simplify the clinical procedures, self-adhesive resin cements are preferred. Besides simplicity, moisture tolerance, dimensional stability, and a rapid setting time, self-adhesive cements rarely display postoperative sensitivity and usually provide good esthetics [13]. They also have the potential for mechanical and chemical bonding and function by strengthening the ceramic as well as the tooth surface especially with veneer restorations [12,14].…”
