RIBEIRO, José Carlos Viana; SILVA, Marília Mota  and  FERNANDES, Carlos Augusto de Oliveira. Influence of temporary cements on the bond strength of resinous materials to the dental substrate. RGO, Rev. gaúch. odontol. (Online) [online]. 2012, vol.60, n.1, pp. 91-98. ISSN 1981-8637.

The growing demand for aesthetics and advances in adhesive materials have contributed to the massive increase in the use of indirect adhesive restorations. Despite the advantages of the indirect technique, one of its disadvantages is the need of using a temporary material between visits, since it may contaminate the dental substrate and affect the bond strength of resinous materials to enamel and dentin. Several authors have investigated this issue, but the results were controversial, especially when temporary cements contained eugenol. This review aims to analyze the literature on this issue and clarify whether temporary cements affect the bond strength of bonding systems to tooth substrates
