Abstract:
As the demand for esthetics in dentistry has increased over the years, zirconia-based restorations have been successfully used as alternatives to metal-ceramic restorations. A reliable marginal seal is among the factors that are vital to the clinical success of a dental restoration. One advantage of zirconia-based restorations is that the cementation process is generally simpler and more efficient compared to the delivery/cementation of other all-ceramic systems. This article reviews several categories of cement used for the cementation of zirconia restorations: zinc-phosphate cement, glass-ionomer cement (GIC), resin-modified GIC, and composite-resin cement.
