The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early tensile bond strengths of three different resin cements; Super Bond C&B (conventional and quick type) and ResiCem to a CAD/CAM composite block. A CAD/CAM composite block (Shofu Block HC) was ground and silanized according to the manufacturers’ instructions before cementation. A conventional tensile bond strength test (Ø: 4 mm) was performed 10 min, 1 h and 24 h after bonding. Super Bond C&B (quick type) showed the highest bond strength at 24 h. However, results of a three-point bend test showed the mechanical properties were weaker for the Super Bond C&B cements compared with composite cement, Resicem. The 4-META/MMA-TBB resin is a suitable resin cement to bond to a CAD/CAM composite block.
