Load-fatigue performance of gold crowns luted with resin cements.

Statement Of Problem: Resin cements have gained popularity over the past few years because of their improved physical properties. There is a need to test these cements under fatigue loading, as there is growing recognition that fatigue testing is more clinically relevant than traditional monotonic static tests.

Purpose: This study investigated the load-fatigue performance of complete gold crowns cemented with 4 types of resin cement.
