This systematic review aims to analyse the available evidence concerning the use of citric
acid (CA) in endodontics treatment and to assess its results in terms of different …

Instability of resin-dentin bonds is the Achilles' heel of adhesive dentistry. To address this
problem, a chelate-and-rinse extrafibrillar dentin demineralization strategy has been …

The effect of solutions of 0.2% chitosan, 15% EDTA and 10% citric acid on the
microhardness of root dentin was evaluated comparatively in this study. Thirteen sound …
