Tensile bond strength and flexural modulus of resin cements--influence on the fracture resistance of teeth restored with ceramic inlays.

Purpose: This in vitro study tested tensile bond strength to enamel and dentin and the flexural modulus of three resin cements. It also determined the influence of these properties on the fracture resistance of teeth restored with ceramic inlays.

Materials And Methods: Initially, 10 standard ceramic discs were bonded to enamel using the following resin cements: Enforce (E), RelyX ARC (RX) and Fill Magic Dual Cement (FM).
