The elimination of the glassy phase of dental ceramics made them resistant to fracture but also acid resistant, which makes it difficult in the latter case the adhesive resin cement. The search for methods to condition these ceramics has stimulated many scientific papers. The ceramic surface treatment, decontamination of the surface and the choice of coupling agents and cement are among the items considered important. Researches in the last five years show that there is still no established protocol for cement, but the results point to a combination of methods for the adhesive bond is obtained.
