Purpose: To evaluate porosity volume and localization in luting cements under fixed dental prostheses after cementation using micro-computed tomography (CT).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-seven sound molars were circumferentially prepared to receive all-ceramic crowns, and IPS e.max ceramic copings were fabricated according to the manufacturer's instructions. For this study, different dental luting cements were used: eight resin-based cements (Variolink II, RelyX ARC, Clearfil Esthetic, BisCem, RelyX U100, Panavia EX, Super Bond C&B, and Multilink Automix), one resin-modified glass ionomer (Ketac Cem Plus), one glass ionomer (Ketac Cem), and one polycarboxylate (Durelon). Specimens were scanned with a micro-CT (SkyScan) for detection and comparison of the cements' porosities. Statistical analyses were performed using Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's adjusted Mann-Whitney U tests.
Results: Multilink Automix (Volume = 0.11 ± 0.08 mm ; Surface Area = 1.63 ± 1.31 mm ), Ketac Cem Plus (Volume = 0.22 ± 0.21 mm ; Surface Area = 4.32 ± 3.71 mm ), and Variolink II (Volume = 0.34 ± 0.38 mm ; Surface Area = 6.47 ± 5.10 mm ) contained less porosity (p < 0.001) than all other cements. All other cements were not significantly different from one another (p > 0.05); however, the volume and surface area of the porosity found in the other tested luting cements were significantly greater than those of the Multilink Automix, Ketac Cem Plus, and Variolink II (p < 0.001), all of which demonstrated no significant differences (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The liquid and powder forms prepared by manually mixing the cements were found to cause greater porosity.

Objectives: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal cements (UCs) to dentin prepared with different diamond burs using various adhesive strategies.
Materials And Methods: One-hundred-twenty molars were prepared to expose the mid-coronal dentin. The teeth were divided into two groups according to diamond bur preparations: coarse and super-fine grit burs.

Objectives This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength of three resin cements (light-cured resin cement, pre-heated composite resin, and dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) when bonding to lithium disilicate discs. Materials and methods Thirty-six discs made of lithium disilicate were fabricated and etched with 9.5% (HF), and 36 human premolars were collected and immersed in the acrylic molds, then randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 12): Group 1: light-cured resin cement, Group 2: pre-heated resin composite, and Group 3: dual-cured resin cement.

Purpose: This in-vitro study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) crowns on Corticobasal® implant abutments, evaluating the effects of two surface treatments and two luting agents.
Materials And Methods: Thirty Co-Cr crowns were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology with a direct metal laser sintering process and divided into three groups based on surface treatment: Group I (untreated), Group II (sandblasted with 50 μm Al₂O₃), and Group III (Er: YAG laser etching). Each group was further subdivided based on luting cement: Sub group A (GC Fuji Plus) and Sub group B (Rely X U200).

The aim of this study is to assess the presence of MDP at various stages of the bonding procedure, enhance the adhesive and mechanical behavior of cemented zirconia ceramics. Fifty ceramic slices (15 × 15 × 2 mm) and 48 discs (Ø= 10 mm, 1 mm thickness) were prepared, sintered, air-abraded with aluminum oxide, and allocated considering: 1) microshear bond strength (µSBS) between ceramic slices and luting agent cylinders (height= 1 mm, Ø= 1.2 mm); 2) fatigue behavior, ceramic discs paired and bonded onto fiber-epoxy resin discs (Ø= 10 mm, 2.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the cytotoxicity of implant luting cements and to visualize the morphological changes in the cells.
Methods: Seven experimental groups Cem Implant Cement (CIC), EsTemp Implant Cement (EIC), Harvard Implant Cement (HIC), MIS Crown Set Implant Cement (MCIC), Oxford Cem Implant Cement (OCIC), Premier Implant Cement (PIC), and Adhesor Carbofine (ZPC) were generated including one conventional, and six implant cements (n = 9). Specimens were applied to human fibroblast cell (HGF) and mouse pre-osteoblast cell line (MC3T3-E1) cells by direct contact and extract text methods.
