Cementation in Dentistry Today

By John C. Comisi, DDS, MAGD

Commercial Supporter: Kuraray Dental

Cementation of indirect dental restorations has evolved over the years, and with each generation there have been both benefits and challenges. Today, a new classification of dental cements have entered the marketplace with the promise of improving clinicians’ abilities to reduce sensitivity and biocompatibility of these cements to both the tooth structure and the substrates used in the restoration process. This article will review the past and present applications of dental cements.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Discuss the present types and applications of dental cements.

  • Discuss the criteria for understanding whether a preparation is retentive or nonretentive.

  • Describe how to properly prepare the intaglio surface before cementation.
