Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the longevity of two fiber post cementation strategies in a prospective, multicenter, non-inferiority, double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Methods: A total of 152 teeth, with adequate endodontic treatment and loss of coronal structure and bilateral simultaneous posterior occlusal contacts, were randomly allocated to receive glass fiber posts cemented with a conventional cementation strategy (CRC group: adhesive system + resin cement) (Adper Single Bond + RelyX ARC; 3 M-ESPE) or a self-adhesive cementation strategy (SRC group: self-adhesive resin cement; RelyX U100/U200; 3 M-ESPE). The patients were recalled annually for clinical and radiographical evaluation with a 93% recall rate (142 teeth, with 74 at CR groups and 68 at SRC group).

Objectives: To evaluate the longevity of metal-ceramic single crowns cemented onto resin composite prosthetic cores using a self-adhesive resin cement in a prospective clinical descriptive study.

Methods: A total of 152 teeth were endodontically treated and received resin composite prosthetic cores and metal-ceramic crowns cemented with a self-adhesive resin cement. The patients included in the sample were recalled for clinical and radiography evaluation in an up-to-106-month period after the final cementation procedures, with an average of 62 months of follow-up.

Objectives: This study investigated whether increasing the concentration of acidic monomers in one-step adhesives would allow reducing their application time without interfering with the bonding ability to primary enamel and dentin.

Material And Methods: Experimental one-step self-etch adhesives were formulated with 5 wt% (AD5), 20 wt% (AD20), or 35 wt% (AD35) acidic monomer. The adhesives were applied using rubbing motion for 5, 10, or 20 s.
