accomplished through substituting inorganic tooth materials with resin monomers

Q

what is cementation

A
  • cementation uses a good prep design and resistance to connect underlying tooth structure with a restoration
  • the cement creates a hard cement layer to adhere to the 2 surfaces
  • with cementation no matter how good the cement its critical that there is adequate preparation including good retention and resistance
