title: Bonding systems for restorative materials--a comprehensive review.
abstract: The acid-etch technique for bonding composite resins to enamel has revolutionized the practice of pediatric restorative dentistry. Although bonding resins to dentin has proved to be a difficult challenge, ongoing advances have improved the reliability and predictability of dentinal adhesion. The purpose of this paper is to review the subject of dentin bonding; its development, current status, and clinical methods to improve performance.
