This paper presents the state of the art of self-etch adhesive systems. Four topics are shown
in this review and included: the historic of this category of bonding agents, bonding …

Microorganisms and their by‐products are considered to be the major cause of pulp and
periradicular pathosis. Hence, a major objective in root canal treatment is to disinfect the …

Results from clinical studies suggest that more than half of the 166 million dental
restorations that were placed in the United States in 2005 were replacements for failed …

The intent of this article is to review the numerous factors that affect the mechanical
properties of particle-or fiber-filler-containing indirect dental resin composite materials. The …

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the water sorption, solubility and kinetics of water
diffusion in commercial and experimental resins that are formulated to be used as dentin …

The recent paradigm that endogenous collagenolytic and gelatinolytic activities derived from
acid-etched dentin result in degradation of hybrid layers requires in vivo validation. This …

Host-derived proteases have been reported to degrade the collagen matrix of incompletely-
resin-infiltrated dentin. This study tested the hypothesis that interfacial degradation of resin …

As acidic monomers of self-etching adhesives are incorporated into dental adhesives at high
concentrations, the adhesive becomes more hydrophilic. Water sorption by polymers causes …

Loss of hybrid layer integrity compromises resin-dentin bond stability. Matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs) may be partially responsible for hybrid layer degradation. Since …

Objectives To assess sorption and solubility of several bulk-fill and conventional resin-
composites after one-year storage in water and artificial saliva (AS). Methods Six bulk-fill …
