Critical appraisal. Options for dentin/enamel bonding: Part I.
Four categories of resin-based dentin/enamel adhesives are currently available. These include the three-step etch-and-rinse, "one-bottle" etch-and-rinse, two-step self-etch primer systems, and "all-in-one" self-etch adhesives. In consecutive issues of the Journal, the Critical Appraisal series will present salient publications on research in each of the categories, beginning with this issue's piece on the three-step etch-and-rinse systems.
