Resin cement is a dental adhesive used to bond ceramic, metal, or composite restorations to tooth structures, offering superior strength and esthetics compared to traditional cements. It is crucial for procedures requiring high bond strength and durability, such as veneers, crowns, and bridges, and is often light-cured or dual-cured for optimal performance.

Bond strength refers to the measure of how strongly atoms are held together in a chemical bond, influencing the stability and reactivity of molecules. It is determined by factors such as bond length, bond order, and the electronegativity of the bonded atoms, and is typically quantified by the bond dissociation energy required to break the bond.

Durability refers to the ability of a material or product to withstand wear, pressure, or damage, ensuring its longevity and continued functionality over time. It is a critical factor in product design and material selection, impacting sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and consumer satisfaction.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance, often used for cosmetic corrections such as whitening, reshaping, or closing gaps. They are typically made from porcelain or resin composite materials, providing a natural tooth appearance and durability.
