Objectives To address contemporary concepts in adhesive dental materials with emphasis
on the evidence behind their clinical use. Overview Adhesive dentistry has undergone major …

The essential goal of any adhesive restoration is to achieve a tight and long-lasting
adaptation of the restorative material to enamel and dentin. The key challenge for new …

This literature-based OPINION PAPER reflects in an introductory historical perspective on
the rapid advancement of dental adhesive technology. Past and current techniques to bond …

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 …

Objectives Efforts towards achieving durable resin–dentin bonds have been made for
decades, including the understanding of the mechanisms underlying hybrid layer (HL) …

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 …

Objectives A systematic review was conducted to determine whether the etch-and-rinse or
self-etching mode is the best protocol for dentin and enamel adhesion by universal …

Adhesive systems are resin-based materials that reach their final mechanical properties
through a polymerization process. Previous literature correlated the failure of the adhesive …

Objective Success in adhesive dentistry means long lasting restorations. However, there is
substantial evidence that this ideal objective is not always achieved. Current research in this …

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and
resin penetration into dentine of three universal adhesives (UAs) applied in two different …
