This source is a systematic review from the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry titled "Effectiveness of Prosthetic Cementation With Preheated Composite Resins—A Systematic Review." The authors, primarily from the University of São Paulo, conducted a comprehensive analysis of existing literature to determine if preheated composite resins are superior to traditional resin cements for dental prosthesis cementation. They followed PRISMA guidelines, searching five databases and gray literature, and included nine laboratory studies in their qualitative analysis. The review found that while degree of conversion was maintained and marginal adaptation was affected, there is no consensus on properties like microhardness, resistance, viscosity, film thickness, or color change, ultimately concluding that it is not yet possible to confirm the superiority of preheated composites for single-unit prostheses.
