Analysis of stresses during the polymerization shrinkage of self-curing resin cement in indirect restorations: A finite-element study

Background: Adhesive cementation is essential for the longevity of indirect esthetic restorations. However, polymerization shrinkage of resin cement generates stress, which may cause failures in the tooth-restoration interface. So, understanding of the biomechanics of resin cement is important for p...
