title: Why use resin cements?
abstract: RMGI is the most popular cement in North America, but several other cement types also are used for routine cementation of the most commonly placed indirect dental restorations. After many years of dominant use, RMGI appears to possess most of the characteristics desired by most dentists. When additional cement strength, translucence or a choice of cement colors is required, resin cements can fulfill those needs. However, RMGI still is an excellent choice for routine cementation of most indirect restorations.
