Secondary caries is one of the leading causes of resin-based dental restoration failure. It is
initiated at the interface of an existing restoration and the restored tooth surface. It is mainly …

Smart dental materials are designed to intelligently respond to physiological changes and
local environmental stimuli to protect the teeth and promote oral health. Dental plaque, or …

Although adhesive hydrogels have been extensively explored, the development of
adhesives with long-term strong adhesion capacity under various harsh environments is still …

Objectives Experimental two-step universal adhesives (2-UAs) providing a particle-filled
hydrophobic adhesive resin with a significant film thickness to hydrophobically seal the …

Objectives To investigate the influence of adhesive resin application modalities on the film
thickness of the adhesive resin and the effectiveness of a two-step universal adhesive (UA) …

Dental adhesives are widely used in daily practice for minimally invasive restorative
dentistry but suffer from bond degradation and biofilm attack. Bio‐inspired by marine …

PURPOSE: Universal adhesives (UAs) are applied in 2-step etch-and-rinse (2-E&R) or 1-
step self-etch (1-SE) mode. This study investigated whether three UAs could benefit from a …

Purpose: To investigate the bonding performance of three universal adhesives (UAs) to
dentin and the effect of different curing modes and hydrofluoric-acid (HF) etching of lithium …

Objectives This study aimed to modify an experimental triethylene glycol dimethacrylate
(TEGDMA) based resin infiltrant using PUA oligomer and two remineralising fillers, including …

Objectives: To investigate the influence of filler type/loading on the micro-tensile fracture
strength (μTFS) of adhesive resins, as measured 'immediately'upon preparation and after 1 …
