Abstract:
Many conventional types of luting cement are available for the dental clinicians to choose and restore luting of ceramic crowns. But not all the available luting cements are ideal for all situations. All ceramic restorations do benefit from resin cements bonding to the tooth. Hence it necessitates comparing the bonding ability of different luting cements to ceramic and dentin. The main objective of this study was to compare and evaluate the shear bond strength of three different luting cements to both ceramic and dentin and then to evaluate the mode of bond failure by scanning electron microscopy
