A field focused on bonding restorative materials to teeth using adhesive techniques.

A dental approach that replaces only lost or diseased tooth tissue.

The ability of adhesive restorations to remain stable over time.

The seepage of fluids and bacteria between the tooth and restoration.

The angle formed by the adhesive with the adherend, indicating adhesion quality.

An adhesive connection without any gaps, vital for effective bonding.

Restorative dentistry focused on achieving aesthetic results.

The process of securing indirect restorations using adhesive techniques.

Measure of adhesive's capability to resist debonding under stress.

Classified into etch-and-rinse, self-etch, and glass ionomer adhesives.

Micro-mechanical interlocking by resin infiltration into demineralized substrate.

Applications like restorations, shape change, and bonding indirect restorations.

Difficulty in achieving reliable bond strength due to different dental substrates.

The ability to resist degradation in a moist oral environment.

Small pores exposed in enamel and dentin for better adhesive bonding.

Involves removing calcium phosphate to expose microporosities for resin bonding.

Structures formed from resin polymerization that enhance bond strength.

Larger resin tags filling space around enamel prisms.

Smaller resin tags formed inside etch pits of enamel.

Process of preparing enamel for bonding, involving cleaning and creating microporosities.

Acids used to etch enamel, enhancing bond strength.

A chelating agent that weakly decalcifies enamel but offers low bond strength.
