Resin Cement

Resin cement is a dental cement material used in selected indirect restorative procedures.

Resin cements are classified and handled according to their material characteristics. The dentist considers the restoration, the tooth or supporting surface, and the procedure when selecting a cement.

Resin cement is used in selected indirect restorative procedures where the cement and restoration must work together. The procedure and materials determine whether it is suitable.

Dental cements differ in composition, indications, and handling. The relevant comparison is the fit between a cement, the restoration, the supporting surface, and the procedure being planned.

Patients usually encounter resin cement as part of a restorative procedure rather than as a separate treatment. The dentist chooses the cement after considering the restoration and the surfaces involved.

The result depends on correct material selection and handling. Cementation problems can affect the restorative procedure, so the dental team follows the requirements of the chosen material and device standard.
