Purpose: To evaluate the influence of ceramic laminate on color stability, surface microhardness, water sorption, and solubility of resin luting agents.
Methods: Disk-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) of dual-cured resin cements (RelyX ARC or RelyX Ultimate) were obtained, and a light-cured luting agent (RelyX Veneer) was used. In Experiment 1, disk-shaped resin cements (n = 10) were submitted to: I) polymerization with or without ceramic laminate (0.7 mm), and II) immersion in distilled water or coffee, 3 hours daily for 20 days. The surface microhardness loss (%SML) was determined, and the color variables were assessed by the CIE L*a*b* system (ΔE, ΔL*) and the shade guide units (ΔSGU). In Experiment 2, other disk-shaped specimens (n = 5) were submitted to polymerization with or without ceramic laminate to assess their water sorption (WS) and solubility (S). Statistical analysis was performed using 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for ΔE, ΔL* and %SML; Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn's tests for ΔSGU; and 2-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for WS and S. The significance level was set at 5%.
Results: No statistically significant differences among the resin cements was observed for %SML, WS, or S, regardless of stain exposure or presence of ceramic laminate during light activation. Coffee caused a significant decrease in ΔL* values. All the resin cements presented visually detectable color alteration for ΔE; however, RelyX Ultimate showed less color change after coffee exposure. RelyX ARC showed the greatest color change in water. RelyX Veneer presented the highest values of ΔSGU, compared with the other resin cements. The WS, S, and %SML of resin cements were not influenced by the staining solution or the presence of ceramic laminate during light activation; however, RelyX Ultimate resin cement presented the best color stability.
Clinical Significance: Resin cements can present color changes over time, affecting the long-term esthetic success of laminate ceramic restorations. RelyX Ultimate resin cement presented the best color stability, thus making it a suitable indication for cementing ceramic laminates.

Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of metal brackets to glazed lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia according to various surface treatment protocols.
Methods: A total of 240 lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) and 240 zirconia (Zr) blocks were randomly divided according to sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, universal primer use, and the adhesive system applied. A maxillary canine metal bracket was bonded to each sample with resin cement (Transbond XT, TXT).

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.
