In the field of aesthetic dentistry, resin cements have been widely used. According to the polymerization mechanism, they are divided into self-cure, dual-cure and light-cure resin cements. The chemical bonding of resin cement with the tooth is achieved by applying a total-etch or self-etch system, which requires a number of steps in the preparation of teeth for cementation.
The cementation process is simplified by the synthesis of a new generation of composite resins, so-called universal resin cements, which can cement different types of materials and indications with the same resin cement, either as self-adhesive or using an adhesive system. In the process of adhesive cementation, special attention should be paid to the material from which the restoration is made.
Therefore, there are different protocols for the preparation of metal, ceramic and composite restorations. Also, cementation techniques were evaluated for each of these types of restorations. As ideal cement does not exist, the disadvantages of composite resins and inproper handling of these materials can lead to complications in the adhesive cementation process itself.
