Which cement is preferred for a zirconia crown?

  1. Self-adhesive (dual-cure) resin cement
  2. Resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI)
  3. Zinc phosphate
  4. Zinc oxide eugenol
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Self-adhesive (dual-cure) resin cement

Self-adhesive dual-cure resin cement offers the best bond strength to zirconia (especially with MDP-containing primers) and is the preferred choice when maximum retention is needed or preparations are short. RMGI is acceptable for retentive preparations but is less bond-strong.
