Introduction/Context/Diagnosis
Objectives: This poster will review the following: 1) The mechanism of action of cements available in dentistry 2) To compare the advantages and disadvantages of different materials used in conventional and adhesive cementation techniques 3) To evaluate the various options available for cementation of indirect restorations, including inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges, and 4) To explore the rationale behind selecting specific options and techniques for different clinical scenarios. Methods: A literature review was conducted to gather information on cementation methods for indirect restorations. A combination of 18 research studies and systematic reviews comparing traditional and resin cements, as well as discussing their application in various clinical situations, were identified and analyzed. Results: Both traditional and resin cements offer advantages and disadvantages for cementing indirect restorations. Traditional cements may be preferable in situations where high strength and retention is unnecessary or a dry environment cannot be maintained. In contrast, resin cements may be favoured for their superior bonding properties or when the restoration material is incompatible with traditional cements. Proper technique and selection of the appropriate cement are crucial for the long-term success of indirect restorations. Conclusions: The choice between traditional and resin cements depends on the specific clinical context and the preferences of the clinician. While traditional cements have their merits in certain situations, resin cements offer advantages in others. Ultimately, ensuring the proper technique and selection of cement are essential for the success of indirect restorations.
