Abstract

Developing a durable, strong bond with dentin remains a significant challenge due to the complex structure of dentin and the various physiological and pathological modifications it undergoes over time. This narrative review examines the causes of bond failure and explores methods to enhance bond durability. Relevant articles were obtained from electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The search used MeSH terms/keywords such as Dentin Bonding, Longevity, Bond strength, Bond Failure and bond durability. The inclusion criteria were articles published in English between the years 2012 and April 2024. This review examines the difference between bonding with different dentin types as well as the main causes of bonding failure and the suggested methods to enhance bonding to dentin. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of problems associated with dentin tissue bonding and the recommended methods to overcome those problems in everyday dental practice.
