Abstract:
The field of dentistry is constantly evolving and increasingly embracing minimally invasive approaches. One such approach, which is bonding to the tooth structure, particularly enamel, has been shown to offer the most predictable outcomes. However, there are instances where significant tooth loss may limit treatment options for a restorative dentist. In these scenarios, indirect restoration might be the preferred treatment option. This literature review provides a comprehensive examination of the currently available resin luting agents and their bonding requirements. It provides valuable insights for dental professionals seeking an in-depth understanding of the current state of the field and the future prospects of dental adhesion.
