title: A review of current proprietary bonding systems.
abstract: This is the third of a series of articles reviewing the current knowledge on bonding systems. In the two previous papers the nature of the dentine smear layer and the preparation of the dentine surface for bonding were considered. This article reviews the current knowledge of the mechanisms of dentine bonding and presents a summary of the composition and mode of action of some of the more recent proprietary bonding systems.
