Bonding to dentin and enamel where does it stand in 2005?

Gordon J Christensen. J Am Dent Assoc. 2005 Sep.

Abstract

Bonding to acid-etched enamel is well-known, effective, predictable and long-lasting. Bonding to dentin has had a less satisfactory history to date, but it has been highly recommended and researched. This article discusses the controversies in this subject and blends research and clinical observations to make some logical conclusions about how and when to use the various enamel and dentinal bonding materials that are available today.
