🦷 Did you know?
While cementation is known for retention, its primary clinical duty is to create a flawless hermetic seal. According to recent literature, any marginal gap encourages salivary infiltration and microleakage over time.
When the luting agent fails to seal properly, bacteria colonize the area, increasing the risk of:
- Secondary caries (a leading cause of prosthesis failure)
- Pulpal vitality loss and hypersensitivity
- Periodontal problems around the margins
This is why advanced adhesive resin cements are preferred. They offer superior mechanical properties and bond strength to perfectly isolate and protect the tooth from the oral environment over the long term.
