The Gold Standard in Bonding Agents 

PRIMEETCH BOND

Current Generations

4th Etch Primer Adhesive => 3 steps

5th Etch Primer + Adhesive => 2 stepsTOTAL ETCH

TOTAL ETCH SYSTEMS

4th generation (3‐step etch and rinse)

• Advantages: separate steps, low 

technique sensitivity, proven 

effectiveness, most consistent results, 

best long‐term results, filled shock 

absorber effect

• Disadvantages: over‐etching dentin, 

time, risk of contamination, moisture on 

surface balance, weak resin‐collagen 

interaction, elaborate procedure

5th generation (2‐step etch and rinse)

• Advantages: basic features of 3‐step, simpler, 

single dose packaging, consistent 

composition, controlled solvent evaporation 

(uni‐dose), hygienic application, filled shock 

absorber effect

• Disadvantages: not much faster, more 

technique sensitive (multiple layers), risk of 

thin layer, etch and rinse effects, over‐etching 

risk, sensitive to dentin wetness, collagen 

collapse, lower bonding effectiveness

Current Generations

6th Etch Primer Adhesive => 2 steps

7th generation (1‐step self etch adhesive)

• Advantages: most time efficient, few steps, less sensitive to dentin moisture level, single dose, consistent composition, hygienic application, shock absorber 

• Disadvantages: complex mixture, phase separation, more technique sensitive, no long term evaluations, less sealing capacity, contain water, reduced shelf life, high hydrophilicity, water sorption, impaired durability, incompatibility with autocuringcomposites, insufficient research, conflicting results

A Twelve‐Year Clinical Evaluation of a three‐step Dentin Adhesive in NCCL’sWilder AD, Swift EJ, HeymannHO, Ritter, AV, Sturdevant JR, Bayne SJ AM DENT ASSOC 2009;140:526‐35

•RESULTS are impressive for 4th

generation adhesive systems, and these preps were performed without retention grooves, with cotton roll isolation

What do the recent studies suggest?

–Self‐etch, 2‐step systems (6th

generation) show better shear 

bond strength and fatigue 

resistance than Self‐etch one 

step (7th generation) systemsSELF ETCH

What do the recent studies suggest?

–Self‐etch systems show greater 

degradation of enamel bonds 

compared to Total‐etch systems

SELF ETCH

4th generation• Deepest, strongest, most predictable, 

and long term bond to enamel

• Bonding layer resists microleakage

• Protects dentin bond from degradation

• Forms the thickest hybrid layer

• Works with self‐cure, dual cure and light‐cured composites as well as indirect restorations without concern

• OptiBond FL = 39 MPa to dentin 

• Scotchbond MP = 46 Mpa to dentin

Another Strategy to Reduce Post‐op Sensitivity and Improve Dentin Bond 

Durability…

Glutaraldehyde/HEMA 

• Effective fixative or flocculating agent

• Creates a cross‐linked protein plug in tubules (0.2 mm)

• Eliminates the hydrodynamic mechanism

• Decreases fluid flow onto bonding surface

• Cross‐links with exposed collagen => improved bonds

• Act as re‐wetting agents

• Anti‐bacterial and anti‐caries

DENTIN SUBSTRATE

• Total Etch or Self Etch 2-step system (4th or 6th

Is the RDA ADA Limit Safe?• According to Pamela Maragliano‐Muniz, 

DMD, who published in the RDA 

magazine in December 2016 it is…BUT –

lets examin the math:

– She reports that it takes 100,000 brushes to remove 

1 mm or less of dentin to achieve 90% stain free 

teeth at RDA 225.

– She states that we deliver 1500 brush strokes in two 

months => 100,000/1,500 = 66 months = 5.5 years

– 1 mm of tooth loss in 5.5 years?  Safe?

Restoring the Non‐Carious Cervical Lesion (NCCL)UCLA Restorative Section Guidelines

6 reasons

1. Caries: new caries is detected or with a previously placed restoration

2. Sensitivity: conservative attempts have not resolved sensitivity regarding this lesion

3. Severe tooth loss (pulp threatened): when the tooth is continuing to erode or abrade

4. Esthetic enhancement (patient preference): keep in mind that root surfaces are difficult to match with composite.

5. Plaque trap: when the tissue is experiencing inflammation due to a plaque trap, or the surface is at risk for caries.

6. RPD retentive arm: when the design requires an I-bar or clasp to be placed
