Aim: To summarize and report laboratory studies of adhesion in eroded substrates, which used bond strength as an outcome measure. To determine the strategies available to overcome bonding difficulties, the quality and consistency of the methodology and to find evidence gaps.
Materials And Methods: The present review followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
Surface properties of composites such as roughness and color impact periodontal health and aesthetic outcomes. Novel bulk-fill composites with improved functionality are being introduced and, in light of the existing variety of finishing/polishing procedures, research of their surface properties is warranted. Sixty discs were prepared from bulk-fill composites (Filtek™ Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative and Fill-Up™) and incremental-fill Filtek™ Z250.
