“…In this context, total‐etch adhesive systems are considered the gold standard (Florescu, Efrem, Haidoiu, Hertzog, & Bîcleşanu, ). Although acid conditioning provides acceptable adhesion strength (Sebold, André, Ambrosano, Nascimento, & Giannini, ), errors in the clinical stages of this system, especially when performed on the dentin substrate, can result in adhesive failure, as it induces structural changes in collagen and proteoglycans, promoting a modified organic content (Breschi et al, ). Thus, it is important to observe that dentin hybridization can be influenced by different factors such as the composition and the application protocols of the adhesive systems, in addition to the inherent characteristics of the substrate (Leite et al, ).…”
