Nature employs sophisticated control of a structure's properties at multiple length scales to
achieve its wet adhesion. However, the translation of such structures has very often been …

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

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 …

Objective Endogenous dentin collagenolytic enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
and cysteine cathepsins, are responsible for the time-dependent hydrolysis of collagen …

One often alleges that laboratory bond-strength testing cannot predict clinical effectiveness
of adhesives. Major argument to sustain this claim is the wide variation in bond-strength …

The limited durability of resin-dentin bonds severely compromises the lifetime of tooth-
colored restorations. Bond degradation occurs via hydrolysis of suboptimally polymerized …

OBJECTIVES: Contemporary adhesives lose their bond strength to dentin regardless of the
bonding system used. This loss relates to the hydrolysis of collagen matrix of the hybrid …

OBJECTIVE: Most of current dental adhesive systems show favorable immediate results in
terms of retention and sealing of bonded interface, thereby counteracting polymerization …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the adhesive stability over time of a multi-
mode one-step adhesive applied using different bonding techniques on human coronal …
