title: Adhesion to dentin.
abstract: The bond strengths of dentinal bonding systems to dentin and the microleakage at the dentinal bonding system to dentin interface are often determined in laboratory studies prior to the clinical evaluation of these systems. The shear bond strengths of some of the third generation dentinal bonding systems to dentin and the microleakage at the dentinal bonding system to dentin interface are discussed. In addition, the shear bond strengths of fluoride-containing liners/bases and the fluoride release from these systems are evaluated.
