An up to 43-year longitudinal study of fixed prosthetic restorations retained with 4-META/MMA-TBB resin cement or zinc phosphate cement

ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, 4-META/MMA-TBB resin adhesive cement demonstrated a higher survival rate than conventional zinc phosphate cement in service for 30 years with a lower occurrence of critical events.Clinical ImplicationsThese results may impact treatment planning as 4-META/MMA-TBB resin adhesive cement was better than conventional zinc phosphate cement for long-term retention.
