Temporary restorations are not just a transitional stage. They are a treatment stage

Well-designed chairside and laboratory temporaries protect prepared teeth, improve patient comfort, and most importantly - guide soft tissue healing before the final restorations

This case demonstrates how provisional restorations transform inflamed tissues into a healthy, stable emergence profile ready for definitive ceramics

🧠 Clinical Thought Process

Should zirconia actually be bonded?

This is still one of the most debated topics in restorative dentistry.

Yes, a conventional zirconia crown can often be cemented successfully with glass ionomer or other traditional cements. If the preparation provides adequate height, taper, and retention, conventional cementation remains a predictable option.

So why are more clinicians choosing adhesive bonding?

First, bond durability.

With proper surface treatment and modern MDP-containing primers and resin cements, zirconia can form a durable chemical bond in addition to mechanical retention. This makes the restoration less dependent solely on the geometry of the preparation.

Second, adhesive bonding expands your clinical possibilities.

Think about a short clinical crown. A zirconia onlay with limited retentive form. Or a minimally invasive preparation where preserving tooth structure is more important than creating aggressive mechanical retention.

In these situations, adhesive bonding is no longer just an alternative - it can be a significant clinical advantage. By combining micromechanical retention with chemical adhesion, it greatly improves the stability of the restoration and reduces the risk of debonding.

The key point is that success does not come from using a “better cement.” It comes from following the entire bonding protocol: proper cleaning, air abrasion, MDP chemistry, and selecting the appropriate resin cement.

Cementation of zirconia crowns - key points

Zirconia crowns can be cemented in a conventional way using GIC or other traditional cements. However, in cases of short tooth abutments or non-retentive restorations, zirconia can be bonded to the tooth structure

Swipe the carousel to learn how

1. Use alcohol + ultrasonic bath or special cleaners like Ivoclean (perfect after try-in)

2. Air particle abrazion (Al2O3) 50 microns - 20 sec

3. High phosphate monomer = strong bond. Use zirconia primer or resin cement that contains it

4. Сement сhoice:
• Opaque/thick → dual-cure
• Thin/translucent → light-cure
