Variable Smear Layer and Adhesive Application: The Pursuit of Clinical Relevance in Bond Strength Testing

Variable Smear Layer and Adhesive Application: The Pursuit of Clinical Relevance in Bond Strength Testing

The removal or modification of smear layers that cover the dentin is critical to allow the penetration of adhesive molecules and to ensure a strong bond between resin and dentin. Aiming to establish a model for clinically-relevant dentin-bond testing, we evaluated the effects of smear layers created...
