Luting Agents used in Prosthodontics
Prasad Kulkarni [3] | S. Raghavendra Jayesh
Abstract: The choice of an appropriate luting agent is one important factor that affects the long - term clinical success of fixed prosthodontic restorations. There are many different luting agents currently available, ranging from traditional water - based to modern adhesive resin cements, from provisional to definitive luting agents, because no single luting agent can satisfy all the strict requirements. The literature continues to repeat that ??No available product satisfies the requirements for an ideal luting agent and comprehensive patient care requires several materials? the best choice is not always easy??. The purpose of this article is to provide a clinically relevant evaluation of current luting agents in order to improve the dentist's capacity to choose and apply the appropriate cementation technique.
Keywords: Dental luting agents, provisional and definitive luting cement, zinc phosphate cement, zinc polycarboxylate cement, zinc oxide eugenol cement, glass ionomer cement, resin - modified glass ionomer cement, resin cement
