Abstract : In recent years, resin cement technology has undergone transformational advancements, revolutionizing prosthodontics. This review explores resin cement's evolution, emphasizing its types, historical development, and impact in modern dentistry. It highlights innovations in material science, bonding techniques, and clinical applications. The journey begins with an examination of its historical roots, tracing the path from traditional cements to today's versatile resin- based alternatives. Different resin cement types, including conventional, aesthetic variations and self-adhesive are discussed. Material science has enhanced resin cement's durability, strength and aesthetic appeal. The article explores contemporary bonding protocols and their application in prosthodontic procedures. While celebrating these innovations, the review also candidly addresses challenges like adhesive failures, post-operative sensitivity and allergic reactions offering a balanced perspective. It looks ahead, discussing ongoing research and potential technological advancements. Supported by informative case studies, this review underscores the real- world impact of resin cements in prosthodontics. In conclusion, resin cement technology continues to reshape prosthodontic practice, providing clinicians with a versatile toolkit for superior patient outcomes.
