How to Bond to Current CAD/CAM Ceramics.

Abstract

The clinical quality and longevity of increasingly popular resin-bonded CAD/CAM ceramic restorations depends greatly on the strength and durability of the resin-ceramic bond. With a diverse array of ceramic materials available, the choice of ceramic bonding protocol is highly influenced by the specific ceramic's type and composition. Typically, this protocol encompasses a surface pretreatment step followed by the application of a priming agent. This article provides a comprehensive update on current resin-bonding protocols for the most commonly used CAD/CAM ceramics.
