Abstract:Recently, the etch-and-rinse and self-etching approaches are the two strategies of resin-based adhesive systems to accomplish the bonding to enamel and dentin. The increased amount of solvents and hydrophilic monomers in the adhesive formulations lead to greater amount of residual solvents entrapped in the adhesive layer. Consequently, the resulting polymers will be more susceptible to degradation over time. One of the methods for more durable bond includes the application of an additional layer of a hydrophob… Show more
