[Impact of various luting cements on the fixed dentures bonding strength].

Background/aim: Various luting cements are used to fix dental crowns to prepared teeth, and should provide an adhesive bond to the tooth structure giving reliable retention. The aim of this study was to establish in vitro which type of the tested luting cement provided the strongest adhesive bond of the prepared teeth to the fixed denture.

Methods: Testing was carried out on the sample of 100 intact human premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons.
