The Effect of Dentine Quality to Dentine Bonding Interface

The use of dentine bonding system becomes a routine treatment in many specialties of dental treatment. Although, it has been widely used, dentine bonding system is still failed to achieve the desirable performance due to the misunderstanding and improper technique. One of the factors that will lead to the achievement of dentine bonding is the quality of dentine. An understanding in dentine quality and its effect on bonding performance will be very useful to clinicians. This article reviews the effect of dentine quality in many clinical situations such as normal dentine, dry dentine, caries affected dentine and primary dentine. The article also discussed the different performance of total etching and self etching on each type of dentine.
