Abstract:

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly influenced the cementation of indirect partial restorations. This process is determined by two key factors – the treatment of the internal surface of the restoration and the choice of cementing agent. Various techniques are employed to prepare the inner surface of indirect restorations, including acid etching, sandblasting, silane use, tribochemical treatment, laser treatment, and mechanical roughening. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of methods for treating the internal surface of different CAD/CAM materials, carries substantial implications for restorative dentistry, paving the way for more effective and durable restorations.

Keywords: CAD/CAM materials, cementation, adhesion, treatment of material surface
