Dental Cements and Adhesives · CDA

Why might resin-based cements be considered more technique-sensitive than conventional cements?

  1. They set by a simple acid-base reaction that is unaffected by moisture
  2. They need precise surface treatment, mixing, and correct polymerization
  3. They have essentially no adhesion to the underlying tooth structure
  4. They can be very easily removed later on without damaging the seated restoration
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: They need precise surface treatment, mixing, and correct polymerization

Resin-based cements need correct substrate treatment (etching, priming), accurate mixing, and appropriate curing; errors may compromise bond strength or marginal integrity.
