Background: The wet-bonding protocol has been used in the etch-and-rinse (ER) mode to maintain adhesive infiltration in demineralized dentin. This study answered the research question: "Do the retention rates and other secondary outcomes of composite restorations in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) differ between dry- and wet-bonding techniques?"
Methods: The authors included randomized clinical trials in which NCCLs were restored with ER or universal adhesives applied under dry and moist dentin. Searches for eligible articles were performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Brazilian Library in Dentistry, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Scopus, Embase, and grey literature without language and date restrictions and updated in May 2024.
This narrative review critically examines some protocols of biomimetic restorative dentistry (BRD), which supposedly outperforms traditional adhesive techniques. This review explores the origins of BRD, introduces cognitive biases influencing the adoption of BRD protocols without evidence scrutiny, and discusses nine BRD protocols. For this, we searched randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews in the literature on the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL databases, which lead to the following conclusions about the revised protocols: 1) The use of dyes excessively removes carious dentin; 2) Aluminum oxide air abrasion contributes to overtreatment and may pose long-term health risks to dental professionals; 3) Beveling enamel in posterior teeth is technically difficult and leads to unnecessary loss of adjacent sound enamel with no evidence of its use outperforming butt-joint preparations; 4) Deactivating matrix metalloproteinases with chlorhexidine shows no clinical evidence of improving restoration longevity.

Material And Methods: After defining the strategy, a search was performed in different databases (MEDLINE via Pubmed, Cochrane Library, BBO, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase) and Grey literature in August 2023. Cross-sectional observational studies that identified clinical consequences of MIH (dental caries, post-eruptive structural loss, atypical restorations, hypersensitivity and tooth extraction) were included.
This paper evaluated the influence of different protocols of silver fluoride (SF) pretreatment of artificial carious lesions on the adhesive interface of composite resin restorations and remineralization of deciduous dentin compared to silver diamine fluoride (SDF). ixty-four deciduous molar teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 8) according to the restoration time (immediately - IM; 30 days after SDF/SF treatment - 30 D) and treatment before restoration (SDF 38 %; SDF 38 % + potassium iodide - KI; SF 38 %; SF 38 % +KI). After SDF/SF application, teeth in the IM group were restored with self-etch universal adhesive system/composite resin.

Case Report: This case report describes the on-going care of a 2-year-old child presenting with ECC and management until permanent dentition is complete. All patient-focused, teamdelivered care was delivered using the minimum intervention oral care framework, implementing non-invasive and minimally invasive preventive procedures.
