Two colors of a CAD/CAM restorative material (CEREC Blocs PC, Sirona) with four colors of a dual--curing
resin cement (Variolink N; Ivoclar Vivadent) were tested in this study (Table 1).
Effect of silanization on bond strengths of fiber posts to various
resin cements. Quintessence Int 2007; 38(2):121-8.
Degree of conversion of a
resin cement light-cured through ceramic veneers of different thicknesses and types.
The microhardness of the
resin cement specimens' surfaces that are close to the monolithic zirconia were tested with a digital Vickers hardness tester (HXD-1000TM/LCD) with 250-gram force for 15s [18].
This study evaluated the effect of shade on
resin cement's color stability following 5000 thermal cycles.
Stevens observed that the pretreatment of dentin with 6% NaOCl (20 min exposure) adversely affects the bond strength of self-etching, self-adhesive
resin cements (Speed CEM and Clearfil SA Cement) but not total-etch (Variolink II) adhesives and those with a separate bonding agent (Multilink and Clearfil Esthetic Cement EX) [24].
MDP containing
resin cement and airborne particle abrasion resulted in the most initial and durable bond strength after water storage and thermocycling.
Recently, it was demonstrated that glass particle size of
resin cements significantly influenced ceramic bond strength, while surface treatments showed a minor effect [24].

resin cements to Y-TZP ceramic using MPS or MPS/4-META silanes .Odontology, 99: 62-67.

resin cement," Journal of Biomedical Materials Research B, vol.
Good bond strength is found between a dental leucitebased glass ceramic and
resin cement generated after functionalizing the ceramic filler with the use of silane-coupling agent [61].
A porcelain veneer is a custom-made thin layer of material that is generally bonded to the tooth with
resin cement. Porcelain veneers can be used to correct teeth that are chipped, broken, discolored and worn down, as well as uneven or irregularly shaped.
