Conclusion : Within the limitations of this study , thein vitro literature seems to suggest that the use of self-adhesive resin cements shows higher retentive strength , followed by resin-modified glass-ionomer cement ( RM-GIC ) and conventional GIC .
However , RM-GIC can be a preferred luting agent due to its clinical advantages over resin cements .
Thus , it can be concluded that choice of cement will depend on individual patient needs and clinical situation
Background : Stainless steel crowns ( SSCs ) are unique coronal restorative material s used commonly in the management of primary teeth with extensive caries .
Aim : The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to evaluate the retentive strength of luting cements for SSCs .
The influence of restorative material on the survival rate of restorations in primary molars.
The survival rates of  restorations in primary molars were calculated after a retrospective examination of patients ' dental records from a study population of 1,065 children . A r and om sample of 128 records showing information for 604 dental restorations  was examined , coded , and analyzed by the life table method of survival analysis . The order of the survival rate of restorations from higher to lower success was preformed crowns , amalgam , composite resin , and glass ionomer restorations . A highly statistically significant difference ( P = 0.0001 ) was found among the survival success rates of different material restorations . For preformed crowns and amalgam restorations , the median survival time was more than 5 years . The 5-year survival estimate for preformed crowns was 68 % and for amalgam restorations was 60 % . For composite resin the median survival time was 32 months and the 4-year survival estimate was 40 % . For glass ionomer restorations , the median survival time was 12 months and the 4-year survival estimate was 5 %
