Clinical Relevance Compared to self-etch and self-adhesive luting systems, the two etch-and-rinse luting agents evaluated in the current study provided more reliable bonding when used to bond indirect resin-based composite restorations to sound dentin. On the contrary, the self-adhesive luting system showed the highest mean bond strength for the cementation of glass ceramic restorations.
