Buonocore memorial lecture, adhesion to enamel and dentin: current status and future challenges
Bart Van Meerbeek,Jan De Munck,Yasuhiro Yoshida,Satoshi Inoue,Marcos A. Vargas,Padmini Vijay,Kirsten Van Landuyt,Paul Lambrechts,Guido Vanherle +8 more
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
Kirsten Van Landuyt,Johan Snauwaert,Jan De Munck,Marleen Peumans,Yasuhiro Yoshida,André Poitevin,Eduardo Coutinho,Kazuomi Suzuki,Paul Lambrechts,Bart Van Meerbeek +9 more
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.
Jan De Munck,Marcos A. Vargas,Kirsten Van Landuyt,Kazuhiro Hikita,Kazuhiro Hikita,Paul Lambrechts,Bart Van Meerbeek +6 more
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
Bart Van Meerbeek,Kirsten Van Landuyt,Jan De Munck,Masanori Hashimoto,Masanori Hashimoto,Marleen Peumans,Paul Lambrechts,Yasuhiro Yoshida,Satoshi Inoue,Kazuomi Suzuki +9 more
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.
