Self-Etch Adhesive Systems: A Review

Abstract

Adhesive dentistry has evolved rapidly since it was introduced. Effective bonding to two hard tissues of different nature is the main challenge for dental adhesives. Bonding to enamel has been proven to be durable while bonding to dentin has always been challenging. Current adhesive systems rely on two major means for a reliable bonding to the tooth structure. The first method is etch and rinse technique n which the smear layer is removed completely and demineralization of subsurface is seen by etching with acids. The second method is self-etch adhesive system which uses the smear layer as bonding substrate. Self – etch adhesive systems have simpler adhesive protocols. This article reflects the general characteristics, history, classification and bonding mechanism of self-etch adhesive systems.
