Indirect Resin Composite Inlays Cemented With a Self-adhesive, Self-etch or a Conventional Resin Cement

The present study was designed to provide further evidence in this particular research prospective, and this study hence aimed to clinically evaluate the 5-years adhesion durability of indirect resin composite inlays luted with three different resin cement strategies in MOD Class II restorations. The formulated null hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in the clinical performances of the three different resin cement strategies for luting indirect resin composite inlays in MOD Class II restorations for 5-years. The research question was as follows: Do self-adhesive resin cements in class II restorations present better clinical performances than conventional etch-and-rinse and self-etch resin cements according to the USPHS criteria?
