Both the total-etch and self-etching systems of today have the potential to provide durable adhesive interface, and despite the proclamations of some, total-etch is alive and well. Indeed, evidence indicates that a viable and growing market remains for total-etch adhesive systems. This paper will discuss the origins, evolution, and idiosyncrasies of the total-etch technique as well as its place in dentistry today. New innovations, the use of antimicrobials to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and sensitivity issues will also be discussed.

Immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength evaluation of two glass ionomer cements to composite resin by using different bonding techniques-an in vitro study.

Objective: Evaluating immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength (µSBS) between composite resin and glass ionomer cements using different adhesive systems and mechanical surface treatment.
Materials And Methods: A total of 240 specimens of glass ionomer restorative materials were divided into two groups: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC) namely Riva Light Cure and Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement (CGIC) namely Riva Self Cure. These were subdivided into immediate (24 h) and delayed (3 months) storage and further divided into smooth, medium, and rough surface treatment with either total etch (TE) or self-etch (SE) adhesive strategies.

Adhesive dentistry represents a crucial aspect of daily clinical practice. Occasionally, the introduction of a new material or technique triggers a significant shift in this field. Over the decades, from the largely ineffective systems of the late 1970s and early 1980s to the relatively successful total-etch and self-etch systems of today, the evolution of adhesive systems has been driven by a quest for simplicity, efficiency, and reliability in clinical practice procedures to achieve durable direct and indirect restorations.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effects of different surface treatments on flexible hybrid ceramics, specifically using laser systems and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on surface roughness (Ra) and shear bond strength (SBS).
- Eighty samples were divided into five treatment groups and exposed to various methods including hydrofluoric acid and different lasers, which were calibrated to specific settings to ensure precise application.
- Results showed that the ultrafast fiber laser treatment resulted in the highest Ra values, while the best SBS was achieved with samples treated with hydrofluoric acid followed by the ultrafast fiber laser, suggesting that this method enhances bonding strength without risking thermal damage.

Aim: Composite restorations often have gingival margins near the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), where the microleakage of these margins can significantly contribute to the restoration failure, especially in the cervical lesions. It is important to determine the microleakage is crucial, as it typically occurs through the interfacial gap between the tooth and the restoration. Various resin composites and techniques have been developed to minimize this gap and reduce the risk of microleakage.
