Statement Of Problem: Bond stability between zirconia crowns and luting cement and between cement and dentin is a main concern; however, only limited evidence is available as to its longevity.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to measure the retentive strengths of 7 self-adhesive cements (RelyX Unicem Aplicap, RelyX Unicem Clicker, RelyX Unicem 2 Automix, iCEM, Maxcem Elite, Bifix SE, SpeedCem), 2 adhesive cements with self-etch primers (Panavia 21, SEcure), 1 glass ionomer cement (Ketac Cem), 1 resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Meron Plus), and 1 zinc phosphate cement for luting zirconia crowns (LAVA) to extracted teeth after thermocycling with or without 1 year of water storage.
Material And Methods: Two-hundred-forty extracted human molars (2 treatments; n=10 per cement) were prepared in a standardized manner. All cements were used according to the manufacturers' recommendations. The intaglios of the crowns were treated with airborne-particle abrasion. After thermocycling (×5000, 5°C/55°C) with or without 1 year of water storage, the cemented ceramic crowns were removed by using a Zwick universal testing device. Statistical analyses were done with the Wilcoxon rank sum and the 2-independent-samples Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
Results: Median retentive strengths [MPa] for specimens thermocycled only/thermocycled with 1 year of water storage were as follows: Panavia 21: 1.7/2.5, SEcure: 3.0/3.0, RelyX Unicem Aplicap: 3.1/3.4, RelyX Unicem Clicker: 4.1/4.2, RelyX Unicem 2 Automix: 3.8/3.1, iCEM: 2.3/2.7, Maxcem Elite: 3.0/3.2, Bifix SE: 1.7/1.7, SpeedCem: 1.3/1.6, Meron Plus: 3.1/2.7, Ketac Cem: 1.4/1.4, and zinc phosphate cement: 1.1/1.6. Statistically significant differences were found only among specimens thermocycled only or thermocycled with 1-year water storage (P<.001).
Conclusions: Significant differences in retentive strengths were observed among cements after thermocycling only or thermocycling with 1 year of water storage, but not for the effect of the additional 1 year of water storage.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine if nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) can enhance the bonding between adhesive monomers and zirconia material commonly used in dental applications.
- Various methods including contact angle measurements and spectroscopy were used to analyze the surface characteristics and bonding mechanisms post NTAP treatment of zirconia and selected monomers (HEMA, BisGMA, TEGDMA, MDP).
- Results indicated that NTAP effectively improves the affinity and bonding strength of adhesive monomers to zirconia, suggesting its potential for enhancing dental bonding procedures and warranting further research.

Statement Of Problem: Despite the advances in dental cements a significant gap remains in understanding how different dispensing and mixing techniques impact the physical properties of resin-based cements.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate how the physical properties, shear bond strengths (before and after thermocycling), and film thickness of resin-based cements change based on the dispensing and mixing methods.
Material And Methods: Eight different resin-based cements were evaluated, and specimens were prepared for each method (n=14) by following International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.

Introduction: This study investigates the feasibility of a dynamic navigation system (DNS) small field of view workflow (DNS-SFOVw) for fiber-post removal and compares its accuracy and efficiency to the conventional large field of view workflow (DNS-LFOVw).
Methods: Fifty-six extracted human maxillary molars were divided into DNS-SFOVw (n = 28) and DNS-LFOVw (n = 28). The palatal canal was restored with an intraradicular RelyX fiber post and luted with RelyX Unicem; a core buildup was used.

Introduction: This study evaluates the feasibility of an augmented reality (AR) head-mounted device (HMD) displaying a dynamic navigation system (DNS) in the surgical site for fiber postremoval in maxillary molars and compares it to the DNS technique.
Methods: Fifty maxillary first molars were divided into 2 groups: AR HMD + DNS (n = 25) and DNS (n = 25). The palatal canal was restored with RelyX fiber post (3M ESPE) luted with RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE).
