Abstract
A large variety of materials used for dental restorations especially for the fabrication of Fixed Dental Prostheses (FDP’s) in contemporary clinical dental practice rely heavily on optimal bonding of prostheses and the tooth structure so as to achieve long term clinical success. Luting cements provide a linkage between the prepared tooth surfaces and a fixed prosthesis used for the rehabilitation of lost esthetics and function in a patient caused due to partial or complete loss of dentition. Nonetheless, due to variance in environment of chemical bonding between two dissimilar constituents’ viz., tooth and fixed denture prosthesis frameworks, the strength of the bond at the unification interface may be weak that there are no substantial values exists in the oral environment that determines durability and long term success of the restorations thus bonded. The recent advances in various restorative systems are due to the patient’s consistent esthetic demand for long lasting esthetic and functional restorations. Due to high flexural strength and ease in fabrication of dental restorations using CAD-CAM technologies, non-glass-based polycrystalline ceramics like zirconia gained popularity, even though they are less translucent and more opaque. Achieving optimal bonding between tooth material and zirconia restoration is really a challenging task considering the noncrystalline nature of zirconia. This article reviews the various techniques, bonding materials and method of application on zirconia used for dental restoration with the main aim to recommend improved bonding and high success rate in terms of zirconia-based restoration for long term use..
