dental cement

Crown bonding agent

Dental cement is a paste-like material used to bond dental restorations—crowns, bridges, inlays—to natural teeth.

Different formulations serve different purposes: some set permanently, others allow later removal.

The term also covers temporary fillings and materials that seal root canals.
