TL;DR: This paper critically appraises methodologies that focus on chemical degradation patterns of hydrolysis and elution of interface components, as well as mechanically oriented test set-ups, such as fatigue and fracture toughness measurements, to assess adhesion durability.

TL;DR: The aim of this article is to systematically review the ingredients commonly used in current dental adhesives as well as the properties of these ingredients.

TL;DR: An extensive literature review with regard to the different laboratory bond-strength test methods and their data provided, along with a second extensive Literature review on clinical effectiveness data of adhesives in terms of retention rates of adhesive Class-V restorations are reported on.

TL;DR: The prompt disappearance ofDroplets upon application of a small amount of HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) or a HEMA-containing bonding agent, as well as the absence of droplets at the interface of all HEMA -containing adhesives, strongly suggests that the adhesive monomers separate from water upon evaporation of ethanol/acetone.

TL;DR: After 8 years of clinical functioning, the clinical effectiveness of Clearfil SE remained excellent, with selective acid-etching of the enamel cavity margins only having some minor positive effect on marginal integrity and absence of marginal discoloration at enamel.
