A review of ethanol wet-bonding: Principles and techniques

ABSTRACT

Conventional water wet-bonding technique has been advocated by many scientists, but the excess water will induce suboptimal polymerization of dental adhesives, phase separation, and nanoleakage, which will influence the longevity of resin-dentin interfaces. Recent studies have put forward a new concept, ethanol wet-bonding. This technique can increase in dentin bond durability. This review focuses on the principles of ethanol wet-bonding, its surface treatment methods.

Key words:

Bond strength - dentin - durability - ethanol wet-bonding - wet-bonding
