title: Adhesion and its ten commandments.
abstract: Despite the fact that retention has been widely discussed in many specialty papers, there is still a lack of information regarding it. The author of the following article happens to have been both a designer or orthodontic adhesives for a major manufacturer and a principal scientist of a Fortune 200 company (in charge of adhesion projects like the substitution of riveting through bonding for airplanes and advanced composites metal/plastics). Based upon his experience, he's trying to relate knowledge which is common in the bonding industry to the needs of the orthodontist.
