Comparison of Tensile Strength of Three Different Luting Cements in Implant-supported and Tooth supported Prosthesis: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Aim- This review aims to compare the tensile Bond Strength of three different luting cements namely, composite resin cement, Glass Ionomer Cement, and Zinc Phosphate cement.

Methods- In-vitro studies published between 1st January 2000 to 1st August 2021 were selected from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar after an extensive search, articles were reviewed independently by two reviewers.

Results- 3 studies met the eligibility criteria. The Tensile Bond Strength of Composite Resin cement was higher compared to glass ionomer and zinc phosphate cement in the tooth-supported and implant-supported prosthesis.

Conclusion- Composite resin cement has better tensile strength when compared to glass ionomer cement and zinc phosphate cement. Thus, it can be used in tooth-supported or dental implant prostheses. Glass Ionomer cement or Zinc Phosphate cement have similar tensile bond strength and can be used depending upon the clinician’s preference.
