title: Resin bonding to various substrates.
abstract: The use of bonding adhesive techniques in dentistry in general and in esthetic dentistry in particular has expanded significantly. As techniques, materials, and results improve, adhesive procedures are substantially modifying many traditional approaches to treating dental problems. More esthetic and less invasive techniques are becoming routine as adhesive materials and techniques become tested and understood. This paper reviews several important areas that affect our understanding and application of adhesive dentistry. With the many material categories, materials in categories, and varieties of bonding surfaces, the subject is extremely complicated. An attempt has been made to divide the past year's literature into sections and to review each section as a separate component of this complex subject.
