Effect of temporary cements and their removal methods on the bond strength of indirect restoration: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

For a conventional indirect restoration, temporary cementation inevitably contaminated collapsed dentin collagen. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the optimal strategy for minimizing its negative effects.

Material and methods

Databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for in vitro studies, involving the influence of immediate dentin sealing (IDS), different temporary cements, and their removal strategies on dentin bond strength. The meta-analysis used the inverse variance method with effect method of the standardized mean difference and statistical significance at p ≤ 0.05. The I² value and the Q-test were used to assess the heterogeneity.

Results

A total of 14 in vitro trials were subjected
