Journal ArticleDOI

State of the art etch-and-rinse adhesives

TL;DR: The therapeutic potential of etch-and-rinse adhesives has yet to be fully exploited, and incorporation of protease inhibitors in etchants and/or cross-linking agents in primers may increase the durability of resin-dentin bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in oral diseases.

TL;DR: The history, the current status and the future aspects of the work mainly of the research groups looking at the presence and activity of various MMPs in different oral diseases are described, as well as some of the MMP-related aspects that may facilitate the development of new means of diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Activation and Function of Host Matrix Metalloproteinases in Dentin Matrix Breakdown in Caries Lesions

TL;DR: Results demonstrate the pH-dependent activation mechanism of MMPs, which may have a distinct role in different physiological and pathological conditions and demonstrate that host M MPs, activated by bacterial acids, have a crucial role in the destruction of dentin by caries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Limitations in Bonding to Dentin and Experimental Strategies to Prevent Bond Degradation

TL;DR: Five experimental strategies developed by different research groups for extending the longevity of resin-dentin bonds are examined, finding a combination of several of these strategies should result in overcoming the critical barriers to progress currently encountered in dentin bonding.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo Preservation of the Hybrid Layer by Chlorhexidine

TL;DR: This study tested the hypothesis that interfacial degradation of resin-dentin bonds may be prevented or delayed by the application of chlorhexidine (CHX), a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, to dentin after phosphoric acid-etching.
