Abstract
Statement of the Problem. The long-term clinical outcome of fixed prosthodontic treatment depends, in part, on the use of adhesives that can provide an impervious seal between the restoration and the tooth. There are several types of available luting agents, each possessing unique properties and handling characteristics. No one product is ideal for every type of restoration.
Purpose. The purpose of this article is to review available dental luting agents, discuss improvements and drawbacks in newly formulated adhesives, and present the indications for their use.
Results. Each cement type is physically and chemically unique. A single adhesive will not suffice in modern day clinical practice. (J Prosthet Dent 1999;81:135-41.)
