This randomized controlled trial evaluated the clinical performance of Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) versus self-adhesive resin cement for cementing zirconia crowns in children aged 3-5 years. Among 38 patients with 64 pair-matched incisors, GIC showed a cumulative retention rate of 95.3% at 36 months, while resin cement achieved 100% retention, with no significant difference between the two (p > 0.05).

Key findings

  • Cumulative retention rates for GIC were 96.9%, 95.3%, and 95.3% at 12, 24, and 36 months, respectively.
  • The resin cement group had a 100% retention rate with no debonding events recorded.
  • No significant differences in gingival index scores were found between the two cement types at any follow-up point.

Why it matters

Understanding the performance of different luting agents for zirconia crowns in pediatric dentistry is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes and ensuring patient satisfaction. This study highlights viable options for clinicians when selecting cement materials.
