Buonocore memorial lecture, adhesion to enamel and dentin: current status and future challenges

TL;DR: The basic bonding mechanism to enamel and dentin of these three approaches is demonstrated by means of ultramorphological and chemical characterization of tooth-biomaterial interfacial interactions and confirms that conventional three-step etch&rinse adhesives still perform most favorably and are most reliable in the long-term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic review of the chemical composition of contemporary dental adhesives

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bonding of an auto-adhesive luting material to enamel and dentin.

TL;DR: Morphological evaluation revealed that RelyX Unicem only superficially interacted with enamel and dentin, and that application using some pressure is required to ensure close adaptation of the cement to the cavity wall.
Journal Article

Polymerization shrinkage and elasticity of flowable composites and filled adhesives

TL;DR: The higher shrinkage of flowable composites over that of hybrids may indicate a potential for higher interfacial stresses, however, their lower rigidity may be a counteracting factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technique-sensitivity of Contemporary Adhesives

TL;DR: Besides micro-mechanical interlocking through hybrid-layer formation, self-etch adhesives may benefit from additional chemical interaction between the functional monomer and residual hydroxyapatite, which may account for their lower bonding effectiveness.
