The process of bonding to dentin is complex and dynamic, greatly impacting the longevity of dental restorations. The tooth/dental material interface is degraded by bacterial acids, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and hydrolysis. As a result, bonded dental restorations face reduced longevity due to adhesive interfacial breakdown, leading to leakage, tooth pain, recurrent caries, and costly restoration replacements.

Graphene, with its unique 2D nanostructure and excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, is considered an alternative to carbon nanotubes in nanocomposites. In this study, we present a one step approach for the deposition of iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles onto graphene sheets through solution mixture. The morphology, crystallinity, and magnetic properties of as-synthesized composites were investigated.
