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 …

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 explore the therapeutic opportunities of each step of
3-step etch-and-rinse adhesives. Methods: Etch-and-rinse adhesive systems are the oldest …

The limited durability of resin-dentin bonds severely compromises the lifetime of tooth-
colored restorations. Bond degradation occurs via hydrolysis of suboptimally polymerized …

Purpose To evaluate the immediate and 6-month resin-dentin bond strength (μTBS) and
nanoleakage (NL) of universal adhesives that contain or do not contain …

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

Purpose To evaluate the 18-month clinical performance of a multimode adhesive
(Scotchbond Universal Adhesive, SU, 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) in noncarious cervical …

In the last two decades, the increased demand for esthetics in dentistry has resulted in
significant improvements in metal-free restorations, from indirect resin composites to various …

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 …
