Efficacy of adhesive strategies for restorative dentistry: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of double-blind randomized controlled trials over 12 months of follow-up

Abstract

State-of-the-art adhesive technology for the development of enamel and dentin bonding agents has driven the paradigm shift in restorative dentistry. The ability to bond restorative or esthetic materials to substrates, including enamel and dentin, in a predict-able manner, is essential for determining whether a specific adhesive protocol is clinically acceptable [1,2]. Existing adhesive systems for restorative purposes are classified into the etch-and-rinse bonding systems and the self-etch systems, based on adhesive strategies to the dental substrates [1,2]. Originally designed as a three-step protocol, the etch-and-rinse strategy is applied with prior complete phosphoric acid etching of tooth substrates including both the enamel, where deep etch-pits in hydroxyapatite-rich substrates are produced, and the dentin, where a depth of a few micrometers is demineralized to expose collagen mesh without hydroxyapatite [1][2][3]. For the etchand-rinse system, inorganic acids are used to demineralize superficial dentin, which is followed by hybrid-layer formation with collagen fibrils exposed and then infiltrated by hydrophilic monomers [1,3,4].Modified from the original and the standard two-step self-etch-J Prosthodont Res. 2022; **(**): ****-****

Quality of CAD-CAM inlays placed on aged resin-based composite restorations used as deep margin elevation: a laboratory study

“…Yet, there is currently no consensus regarding the material of choice for DME [1]. The present study used a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive and a conventional nanohybrid RBC, applied in layers, to restore the deep proximal boxes because these materials have a proven performance record [35]. The results of the present study are therefore not applicable to materials such as glass ionomers, resin-modified glass ionomers, and flowable RBC, which some dental practitioners and researchers use for DME.…”

Bidirectional Relationship Between Osteoarthritis and Periodontitis: A Population-Based Cohort Study Over a 15-year Follow-Up

“…Whether this is a direct common susceptibility of related to impaired motor function is unknown. Osteoarthritis of the hands, knees, and hip has been suggested to result in impaired functional ability ( 40 ) that may result in poor oral hygiene due to a lack of daily activity and patient education ( 53 ), with excess biofilm formation on teeth and the periodontium, followed by increased risks of dental caries ( 54 , 55 ) and periodontal diseases. This may explain our findings in the case-control analysis of the correlation between present periodontitis and a history of osteoarthritis.…”

Cancer-Derived Extracellular Vesicles as Biomarkers for Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review

“…This study was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) [ 33 ], following the same protocol as described in previous studies [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. A primary literature search was conducted with PubMed, Ovid/MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases on 14 May 2022, without limitation as to dates.…”
