title: Current status of adhesive resin systems.
abstract: The advanced third-generation bonding agents have created excitement as they have the potential to develop effective dentin bonding. These materials have shown better bond strengths and less marginal microleakage than the previous generations of adhesives. Enamel acid etching and the new primer/adhesive systems can enhance the retention rates of resin restorations and reduce or eliminate marginal microleakage.
