title: Standardized bonding protocol posterior porcelain restorations.
abstract: Strict adherence to a carefully designed protocol for the cementation of posterior porcelain restorations allows for a reliable and minimally invasive procedure. Though such a thorough protocol for porcelain cementation may initially seem time consuming or over-engineered, it is quickly learned and can be applied in nearly all situations. As with many practices in dentistry, the cementation is but the final step in the creation of a beautiful, minimally invasive, and durable restoration that lies at the end of a long line of procedures. All these procedures must also be completed at equivalent levels of excellence to ensure a successful result (Figures 10 to 12).
