  • Title: Predictable cementation of esthetic restorations: part II--selection criteria and guidelines for implementation.
    Author: Quintas AF.
    Journal: Pract Proced Aesthet Dent; 2007 Oct; 19(9):7-9. PubMed ID: 18038716.
    Abstract:
    Patient demand for esthetic dentistry has increased clinicians' use of composite resin luting agents for cementing both intra- and extracoronal restorations. The cementation process is key to the success of such treatment to prevent microleakage, ensure sufficient retention of the restoration to the tooth substrate, and provide the physical strength required of the restoration. Recent advances in adhesive technology have expanded the options available to the practitioner when selecting a restorative material and luting cement, and new guidelines must be understood accordingly.
