Dental Adhesion and Adhesive Systems: Biology, Mechanics and Best Clinical Practice provides an overview of current research on materials, mechanics and clinical practice relating to dental adhesion, i.e. the adhesion or bonding to the natural substance of teeth, enamel and dentin. It examines the nature and strength of adhesion to dental hard tissues, properties of adhesive materials, causes and mechanisms of failure of the bonds, clinical techniques for bonding and newer applications for bonding such as bonding to the soft tissue. The book begins by examining evidence-based dentistry in relation to dental adhesion, resin-dentin and enamel bonding, degradation of resin-dentin bond; biofilm and caries, the new generation of adhesives; the science and mechanics of dental bonding; technologies for enamel and dentin bonding prediction dynamics of bonding and dentin; adhesion to root dentin; bond improvement; maximizing clinical outcomes for indirect restorations with adhesive dentistry
