necessary to obtain high survival and success rates of indirect composite resin.
Each step of the clinical and laboratory procedures can have an impact on longevity and the esthetic results of
indirect restorations. Cementation seems to be the most critical step, and its long-term success relies on ad-
herence to the clinical protocols. The authors concluded that in terms of survival rate and esthetic long-term
outcomes, indirect composite resin techniques have proven to be clinically acceptable. However, the correct
management of adhesive cementation protocols requires knowledge of adhesive principles and adherence to
the clinical protocol in order to obtain durable bonding between tooth structure and restorative materials.
