Objectives To address contemporary concepts in adhesive dental materials with emphasis
on the evidence behind their clinical use. Overview Adhesive dentistry has undergone major …

The essential goal of any adhesive restoration is to achieve a tight and long-lasting
adaptation of the restorative material to enamel and dentin. The key challenge for new …

This literature-based OPINION PAPER reflects in an introductory historical perspective on
the rapid advancement of dental adhesive technology. Past and current techniques to bond …

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 …

Objective Success in adhesive dentistry means long lasting restorations. However, there is
substantial evidence that this ideal objective is not always achieved. Current research in this …

Adhesive dentistry has undergone great progress in the last decades. In light of minimal-
invasive dentistry, this new approach promotes a more conservative cavity design, which …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the dentine microtensile bond strength (μTBS), nanoleakage
(NL), degree of conversion (DC) within the hybrid layer for etch-and-rinse and self-etch …

This paper presents the state of the art of self-etch adhesive systems. Four topics are shown
in this review and included: the historic of this category of bonding agents, bonding …

Bonding to tooth tissue can be achieved through an “etch&rinse,”“self-etch” or “glass-
ionomer” approach. In this paper, the basic bonding mechanism to enamel and dentin of …
