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

Currently, dental adhesives can be divided into two systems; a smear layer-removal
approach with etch-and-rinse adhesives or a smear layer-modified approach with self …

Objectives: The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the bonding performance of a new
auto-adhesive cement (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE) to enamel and dentin, using a standard …

Mild acids are known to activate dentin matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs). All self‐etching
dental adhesives are acidic (pH 1.5–2.7) and may activate dentin MMPs. The purpose of this …

The prevention and treatment of dental caries are major challenges occurring in dentistry.
The foundations for modern management of this dental disease, estimated to affect 90% of …

This study provided morphological evidence that discrepancies between the depth of
demineralisation and the depth of resin infiltration can occur in some mild self-etch …

Background Self-etching adhesives are believed to prevent postoperative sensitivity when
used under posterior resin-based composite restorations. The authors tested a twofold …

Dentin collagen fibrils were studied in situ by atomic force microscopy (AFM). New data on
size distribution and the axial repeat distance of hydrated and dehydrated collagen type I …

The availability of new scientific information about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of
carious lesions and the introduction of new adhesive restorative materials have substantially …

In order to study adhesion/decalcification mechanisms of acid interactions with human hard
tissues such as bones and teeth, the chemical interaction of five carboxylic acids (acetic …
