Self-adhesive resin cements—part I.
A recent Medline search revealed 214 publications related to the search term "self-adhesive resin cements." The Journal published a Critical Appraisal on these materials by Burgess and colleagues in late 2010 (J Esthet Restor Dent 2010;22:412-9). One hundred fifty-eight of those were published in 2009 or later, so the knowledge base on this subject is growing rapidly. With that in mind, we thought it would be helpful to provide an update. The update will be presented in two parts. Here in Part I, the specific topics addressed are bonding to tooth structure, bonding to zirconia ceramics, and effects of curing mode.
