Strategic Adhesion and Dental Tissue Conservation: Contemporary Perspectives on Interfacial Bond Longevity and...

Modern prosthetic dentistry has been significantly reshaped by adhesive dentistry, CAD/CAM technologies, and advanced ceramic materials, leading to the development of minimally invasive all-ceramic restorative approaches. However, the longevity of the adhesive interface is fundamental to the long-term effectiveness of these restorations. With a focus on bond durability and clinical performance, this narrative review aims to evaluate modern adhesive strategies, tooth preparation requirements, and cementation techniques in all-ceramic minimally invasive restorations. Methods: A narrative review of the literature was performed using Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases. Publications from 2000 to 2026 were analysed. In vitro research, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews related to adhesive systems, resin cements, CAD/CAM materials, and minimally invasive prosthodontic principles were the core subjects of the research. Results: The findings indicate that material selection, surface conditioning techniques, and cementation methods have a significant impact on the clinical effectiveness of all-ceramic restorations. Retention and marginal sealing are greatly enhanced by resin-based adhesive systems. Nevertheless, hydrolytic degradation, procedure sensitivity, and substrate-related factors remain a challenge to the adhesive interface. Advances in CAD/CAM and ultra-conservative designs, like occlusal veneers and partial-coverage restorations, have increased treatment alternatives while ensuring acceptable functional and aesthetic results. Conclusions: Minimally invasive all-ceramic restorations represent a conservative and clinically effective treatment approach in modern prosthodontics. Their long-term performance is primarily dependent on adhesive interface stability and adherence to evidence-based clinical protocols. Continued developments in adhesive materials and ceramic systems are expected to improve bond durability and broaden clinical indications.
