This session provides an overview of currently available luting cements for indirect restorations. Their advantages and short-comings are discussed and guidance given to suitable applications.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Discuss the advantages and limitations of traditional and contemporary luting cements
- Describe the role of bonding in the retention of contemporary indirect restorations that lack traditional retention and resistance form
