Increasing demand for simplified and user‐friendly adhesive systems has led to the
development of a new class of adhesives termed as Universal Adhesives (UAs). The term …

This review aims to evaluate whether the etch-and-rinse or self-etch mode is the better
protocol for dentin adhesion by universal adhesives. A total of 15 articles were included in …

Objectives This study compared the bonding properties of dentin of three 2-step etch-and-
rinse adhesives (2-ERAs) to those of three universal adhesives (UAs) applied with an etch …

Objectives To evaluate if the addition of a layer of a hydrophobic bonding resin to the
recommended application sequence of a universal adhesive improves the respective …

This study aims to investigate the effect of chemical removal or mechanical modification of
the smear layer on dentin adhesion with universal adhesives. Dentin surfaces (92 teeth in …

Purpose: The effect of surface moisture on bur-cut dentin on the microtensile bond strength
(µTBS) of universal adhesives with various contents of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) …

Eighth-generation adhesives may be applied with total etch, selective-etch or self-
conditioning, and serve as primers for non-dental substrates. Aim: To determine the bonding …

Objectives: To evaluate the immediate and water-aged microtensile bond strength of a
universal adhesive to dentin, using the self-etch approach with and without an additional …

A systematic review was performed to compare the human dentin microtensile bond strength
of universal adhesives with 10-MDP when used as total-etch and self-etch strategies …

Aim. To evaluate the bond durability of two universal adhesives; mild and ultra-mild in both
etch-and-rinse and self-etch modes after simulated in-vitro degradation by long-term water …
