Self-Adhesive Resin Cements

Abstract

Fixed prosthetic restorations are most preferable restorations in dentistry. Because of that, cements used for bonding fixed restoration become popular in recent years. Clinicians prefer cements with good mechanical properties, that are easy to use, that are biocompatible, and with different color options. For this purpose, self-adhesive resin cements have been developed. Self-adhesive resin cements are cements that aim to combine the ease of application of traditional cements with the good mechanical properties and esthetic advantages of composite resin cements, reducing the clinical application steps and thus minimizing technical sensitivity-related errors. This review aims to evaluate the use, clinical procedures, characteristics, and development of self-adhesive resin cements.
