Abstract

Tooth tissues do not possess any natural affinity to dental ceramics. The studies done in the past indicate that the adhesive system seems to be a valid option for all ceramic prosthesis cementation, since it has several advantages over conventional cementation methods. Hence, proper pre-treatment and adhesive resin composite cements are vital when bonding ceramic materials to the tooth. However, the adhesive technique is a very recent procedure and clinicians should have a more detailed knowledge about the technique and related materials so that they can use them in their day-to-day clinical practice. The clinician should always keep in mind the characteristics of materials they are working with, so that they can select the best technique and the best cement for each clinical situation. This review aims to present some aspects of dental ceramics surface treatments, which involve the related physical and mechanical properties, as well as new technologies.
