COMPARISION OF EIGHTH-GENERATION BONDING AGENT MODIFIED WITH BIO ACTIVE POLYMER FOR EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROPERTIES: AN IN VITRO STUDY
In operational dentistry, degradation of the hybrid layer—the resin-dentin interface—rather than composite fracture is the primary cause of restoration failure. Activated by the acid-etching process, endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins gradually break down exposed collagen fibrils that a...
