[Scotchbond from 1983 to 1992. The history of a market setter reflected in the literature. A review of the literature].
In this critical literature review 140 [correction of 136] publications dealing with Scotchbond were chronologically compiled since 1983 when Scotchbond was introduced to the dental market. The publications dealing with dentinal bonding were analyzed. Critical statements were predominant in the in-vivo- as well as in the in-vitro-studies. The literature reviewed for a period of ten years clearly demonstrated that the expectations created by the manufacturer and some initial studies concerning dentinal bonding did not become true. Long before private practitioners realized that Scotchbond didn't live up to the standards promised by the manufacturer, independent scientists had doubted the efficiency of the product. The conflict between market orientated and objective information for the private practitioners becomes obvious in this literature review.
