TL;DR: The amount of fluid movement across resin-bonded dentin when total-etch adhesives were used was significantly greater than that with self-etching adhesive, suggesting that the milder acid-etched effects of self- fetching primers may retain hybridized smear plugs within the tubules that reduce outward fluid flow, resulting in superior dentin sealing.

TL;DR: Placement of an intermediate layer of a LVBR between the bonded dentine surface and the resin cements resulted in improved coupling of Panavia F to dentine, suggesting that reduced permeability of the adhesives resulted inImproved coupling of the resincements to dentin.

TL;DR: Silver uptake in water-binding domains of the adhesive layers increased with aging, resulting in water tree formation and water-filled channels may act as potential sites for hydrolytic degradation of resin-dentin bonds.

TL;DR: Hydrogen peroxide and hydrofluoric acid both modified the surface morphology of fibre posts and with silane, significantly enhanced the interfacial strength between them and core materials.

TL;DR: Bond strengths are related to the ability of the primer to maintain the re-expansion of collapsed demineralized dentin matrix and are directly correlated with the width of the interfibrillar spaces.
