Purpose: To evaluate through a systematic review and meta-analysis whether the immediate
and long-term bonding performance of universal adhesives would be improved by prior acid …

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 …

The incorporation of functional monomers in dental adhesive systems promotes chemical
interaction with dental substrates, resulting in higher adhesion forces when compared to …

Objective Multi-mode universal adhesives offer clinicians the choice of using the etch-and-
rinse technique, selective enamel etch technique or self-etch technique to bond to tooth …

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 …

Objective The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the
literature on the bond strength of self-etching (SE) adhesives containing 10-MDP or other …

Statement of the problem It is still debatable which technique should be used with universal
adhesives, either etch-and-rinse (wet or dry) or self-etch strategy (with or without selective …

Dental caries is a common disease on a global scale. Resin composites are the most
popular materials to restore caries by bonding to tooth tissues via adhesives. However …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the dentin bonding ability of three
new universal adhesive systems under different etching modes using fatigue testing. Method …

Objectives To examine the interfacial chemical and morphological characteristics of four self-
etching adhesives bonded to dentin with different functional monomers. Further, to evaluate …
