Objectives Efforts towards achieving durable resin–dentin bonds have been made for
decades, including the understanding of the mechanisms underlying hybrid layer (HL) …

Adhesive systems are resin-based materials that reach their final mechanical properties
through a polymerization process. Previous literature correlated the failure of the adhesive …

This study aimed to identify the role of crosslinking agents in the resin–dentin bond strength
(BS) when used as modifiers in adhesives or pretreatments to the dentin surface through a …

Laboratory investigations are essential models responsible for science development.
However, laboratory discoveries must be confirmed in a clinical environment where many …

Objective The present study investigated the ability of a chlorhexidine (CHX)-containing
primer (0.2% aqueous solution) to inhibit dentinal enzymes, preserve the hybrid layer (HL) …

Instability of the dentine-resin interface is owed to the partial/incomplete penetration of the
resin adhesives in the collagen fibrils. However, interfacial hydrolysis of the resin-matrix …

Cavity disinfection becomes an important step before a dental restorative procedure. The
disinfection can be obtained cleaning the dental cavity with antimicrobial agents before the …

Bonding plays a major role in dentistry nowadays. Dental adhesives are used in association
with composites to solve many restorative issues. However, the wide variety of bonding …

Purpose of review To present an overview on the main agents (ie biomolecules and
nanocompounds) and/or strategies currently available to amplify or stabilize resin-dentin …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate, by the means of microtensile bond
strength (μTBS) test, gelatin and in situ zymography, the influence of 0.2% CHX contained …
