The document discusses different types of dental luting cements including zinc phosphate, polycarboxylate, glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and resin cement. Resin cement provides superior bond strength compared to other cements, bonds well to various restorative materials, and has low solubility resulting in reduced microleakage. Proper preparation and application techniques are required when using resin cement to ensure optimal adhesion.

1. Dental luting cement Bond Strength Strength Flow (viscosity) Wetting Film thickness (<25 microns ) Solubility Working,Setting time Esthetic *Complication dr shabeel pn

2. Dental luting Cement Zinc phosphate Polycarboxylate Glass ionomer RMGI cement Resin cement

3. Zinc phosphate Over 100 yrs of clinical experience Routine application Post-op sensitivities Low hardness High solubility pH No bond with tooth

4. Polycarboxylate Molecular bonding to tooth substance (2MPa) Cost Low F ¯ release Low post-op sensitivities Low hardness solubility

5. Glass ionomer Molecular bonding to tooth substance F ¯ release Cost-Eff. Minimal dimentional change Occa. post-op sensitivities Sensitive to water Limited application (ceramics) (High caries risk) (3-5MPa)

6. RMGI Molecular bonding to tooth substance F ¯ release Low solubility Fewer post-op sensitivities Application ? (ceramics,composite) (>10MPa)

7. Resin cement High adhesive quality (18-20MPa) ⇧ Retention High hardness Low solubility All metal, ceramic,composite (indirect) Occa. Post-op sensitivities

8. Adhesive quality Non-adhesive (zinc phosphate) Micromechanical bonding (resin cement) Molecular adhesion (polycarboxylate,GI,RMGI)

19. Why are fiber post? Clinical success rate: Less root fracture than with metal posts: Dentine-like flexural strenght avoids the “wedge” effect of stiff and hard metal posts. metal fiber post Esthetics : the new post is translucent and does not shine through ceramic or composite restorations 3. Easy and conservative removal with drills if endodontic re-treatment is required further advantages : no corrosion, easy cutting of over-length, light-translucent... root fracture! no local peak forces, no root fracture

20. Resin cement Bond strength > Zinc phosphate 10 times ↑ Retention Reinforced ceramic - base Crown Adhesive system (micromachanical bond-tooth) (chemical bond-porcelain,metal) Low solubility ↓ leakage
