Monkey pulpal responses to metal inlays luted with an experimental resin cement and conventional dental cements were histopathologically evaluated. Initial pulpal responses caused by re-exposure of the cut dentin surfaces and luting procedure were not different between the resin cement and dental cements. There reactions subsided if a tight margimal seal was secured by final cementation of the inlay. The adhesive resin coating of freshly cut dentinal walls/floors seems to provide a new technique to protect the dentin and pulp in indirect restorations requiring temporary sealing.
