title: [Smear layer on prepared dentin].
abstract: Whenever dental tissues cut with a rotary instrument, a layer of grinding debris and organic film left of their surfaces, which is described by the term "smear layer". In this paper, we present the morphology and views for the formation of the smear layer. Additionally, we examine the influence of smear layer, on dentin permeability, infection by bacteria beneath dental restorations and on bonding capacity of adhesive dental materials. Following, detailed description of cleaning and chemical agents, used for smear layer removal from prepared dentin surfaces.
