An evaluation of retention and marginal seating of Ni-Cr alloy cast restorations using three different luting cements: an in vitro study.

Context: Clinical and laboratory studies regarding performance of recently introduced luting cements: Adhesive resin cement and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC), are limited.

Aims: To compare the retention and marginal seating of Ni-Cr alloy restorations using newer luting cements: Resin-modified GIC and adhesive resin cement with those of the oldest cement, zinc phosphate.

Materials And Methods: Thirty maxillary premolars of similar sizes were prepared to receive cast metal copings.
