Esthetic restorative dentistry with indirect restorations is a treatment that is in demand by patients. Careful consideration is required in selecting such cases and the restoration material for an individual patient. Based on the type of restoration selected, the adhesive technique and luting cement can then be selected. Options for ceramic restorations include etch-and-rinse and self-etch techniques for adhesives, together with the use of light-cure or dual-cure resin luting cements, or the use of more traditional luting agents, depending on the type of ceramic restorations. An understanding of the properties of restorative materials, adhesives and luting agents is necessary for correct selection and good clinical results.
