A popular choice for the placement of fixed restorations, dental resin cements are available in a range of compositions with different curing options, application protocols, working times and other physical properties. Often formulated from blends of methacrylates, dimethacrylates, and polymethacrylates, resin cements are designed to provide high strength bonds that withstand the rigors of the intraoral environment. Often resin cements work best with proper etching protocols, and in the case of some resin cements, a bonding agent. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s application protocol and use the cement with appropriate complementary materials.
