Comparison of Luting Cement Solubility: A Narrative Review

Deok Yong Kim et al. Dent J (Basel). .

Abstract

Background: Dental restoration success relies on the physical properties of luting cements. Luting cements fill the space between teeth and the restoration, provide retention and protection from occlusal forces, and act as a barrier to microleakages in the oral environment. Objective: This review aims to evaluate and compare the solubility of the three most used dental luting cements: glass ionomer (GI), resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and resin cement (RC). Methods: The studies selected for review compared the solubilities of combinations of GI, RMGI, and RC in solutions with different pH levels to replicate acidic oral pH. Results: A review of the studies concluded that resin cement had the overall lowest degree of solubility at all pH values and all storage periods, followed by RMGI and GI cement. Conclusions: The success of the restoration is dependent upon the choice of luting cement. The results of the studies reviewed show that all dental luting cements showed some degree of dissolution. Resin cement overall demonstrated the least amount of solubility, followed by RMGI and GI cement.

Keywords: dental luting cements; glass-ionomer cement; resin cement; resin-modified glass ionomer cement.
