Survival Rate of Self-Adhesive Resin Cement on Various Crown Materials: A Scoping Review

Abstract

Abstract Aim: The use of crowns made of all-ceramic, metal-ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal (PFM) with a self-adhesive resin cement as an indirect restorative process is a method of indirect restorative. The cement is anticipated to improve survival rates due to its many benefits. Thus, this research aimed to ascertain how long self-adhesive resin cement will last when applied to different types of crown materials. Materials and Methods: The study used a scoping review methodology that followed a Population, Concept, and Context framework. The articles included were published from January 1, 2013, to May 24, 2023, full-text, full-access, written in English, original article study design (clinical studies, observational studies, follow-up case reports, and comparative studies), and in vivo method. Boolean operators were applied to search across the databases Science Direct, PubMed, and EBSCOhost with the corresponding keywords “((survival rate) OR (success rate) AND (adhesive resin cement) AND (crown)).” Since Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was implemented as the study design, it did not include randomization or statistical analysis. However, we added bias-risk information. Results: There were 104 studies in total. After the duplication checking and abstract screening processes, 23 articles were provided. A full-text assessment was done, and seven articles were extracted. Additionally, information about the author, publication year, study design, research methodology, self-adhesive resin cement brand, crown material, research duration, and outcomes was gathered. Conclusions: The results concluded that the self-adhesive resin cement survival rate on various crown materials, both all-ceramic and PFM, within 6 years is excellent. Due to the minimal number of articles that met the inclusion criteria, additional research is required.
