The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the dentin bond strength of etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesives to primary teeth. In this study, PubMed, ISI (all databases), Scopus, and Cochrane Database were searched according to the selected keywords up to May 11, 2016. The full texts of published articles that appeared to meet the primary criteria for inclusion in this study were obtained. Due to the variation in the methods used, the studies were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 - studies that evaluated the micro-tensile bond strengths (MTBSs) of two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives and two-step self-etch adhesives and Group 2 - studies that evaluated the MTBSs of two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives and one-step self-etch adhesives. The initial search yielded 1447 publications. After a methodological assessment, 8 publications were selected. The results of this study showed that the MTBS of the etch-and-rinse adhesives and the two-step self-etch adhesives were similar (P = 0.34), and both were significantly higher than that of the one-step self-etch adhesive (P = 0.001). This meta-analysis showed that the application of two-step self-etch adhesives performs well when used for primary dentin and can be used to save time in pediatric dentistry.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of several antiseptic mouthwashes on the dentin microtensile bond strength of self-etch adhesive, considering the influence of rinsing with water.
Methods: Forty flat dentin surfaces were produced by sectioning sound extracted third molars. They were randomly divided into four main groups: (1) artificial saliva (control); (2) 1 % hydrogen peroxide; (3) 0.
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.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical performance of a universal adhesive system containing 0.1 % copper nanoparticles (CuNp) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) after 6 years.
Material And Methods: Two hundred and sixteen restorations (n = 54) were randomly placed in 36 participants with at least four NCCLs.
Adhesive dentistry has undergone significant advancements since its inception, marked by continuous improvements in material performance and adaptability to various dental and restorative substrates. Initially, the anatomical differences between enamel and dentin made adhesive approaches challenging. Early systems were often complex and operator dependent, leading to the development of multistep protocols.
A systematic review was conducted to see if acid etching would improve the bond strength of universal adhesives (UAs) on caries-affected dentin, both before and after aging.
Researchers analyzed 26 studies focusing mainly on mild UAs, finding that acid etching had no significant effect on their bond strength (p > 0.05).
The study concluded that aging significantly weakened the bond strength of mild UAs to caries-affected dentin, with bond strength being notably lower compared to sound dentin (p < 0.05).
