title: Adhesion of composites to dentin and enamel.
abstract: Extrapolations based on the history of the development of composites and an adhesion system for bonding dental resins and composites to hard tooth tissues can rightfully be the basis for strong optimism regarding future improvements in esthetic and conservative treatment modalities. Improved understanding of mechanisms of action and the clinical application steps common to current adhesion systems will certainly lead to improved oral healthcare.
