EVOLUTION OF DENTIN ADHESIVES: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The aesthetic demand has culminated in the improvement of restorative dentistry through new products, such as dentin adhesives, so commonly used in current restorative procedures. The quality of the union of the restorative material with the dental substrate is essential for the longevity of the treatment; In this way, dentin adhesives with different compositions are marketed, aiming to achieve optimal adhesion. The present study aimed to review the literature on the evolution of dentin adhesives, since research can bring to light innovations that overcome the limitations of contemporary adhesive systems. This article shows the evolution of dentin adhesives, their efficacy, and clinical relevance. Knowing new dentin adhesives, techniques and care required before and during the application of the chosen adhesive contributes to increasing the durability of adhesive restorations, in order to ensure satisfactory results in the union between the resin and the dental substrate, avoiding the repetitive restorative cycle.
