Resin cement has become the leading choice for dental cementation due to its versatility and superior performance. Unlike traditional cements, such as glass ionomer and phosphate cements, resin cement offers unmatched bonding strength—ranging from 40 to 50 MPa compared to just 5 to 7 MPa for glass ionomer. This makes it ideal for diverse applications, including metals, pure ceramics, and fiberglass.
Modern resin cements also provide excellent marginal sealing and are not soluble, ensuring greater stability and longevity of dental restorations. Their advanced formulations allow them to fill interfaces while enhancing the retention and durability of the final restoration.
In this video, we explore the evolution of resin cement and its advantages over traditional materials. From dual polymerization techniques to its role in marginal sealing and increased retention, discover why resin cement is the intelligent choice for today’s dental professionals. Stay tuned for more insights into modern cementation techniques.
