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 .
Stainless steel crown versus multisurface amalgam restorations: an 8-year longitudinal clinical study.
Two alternative methods of restoring primary teeth that had multisurface lesions were examined in a clinical longitudinal study . In a paired comparison , stainless steel crowns proved far superior to multisurface amalgam restorations with respect to both lifespan and replacement rate .  Stainless steel crowns are not only more acceptable to the patient and more cost effective , but also more acceptable to the dentist because of the comparatively simple procedures involved in restoring even severely affected primary molars
