Özet

Bond strength between adhesive systems and the tooth structure is influenced by a large number of variables. The bond strength tests are important tools for improving resin-tooth adhesion to increase the service life of dental resin-based composite restorations. This chapter discusses the materials used in adhesive dentistry and test methods applied for evaluating bond strength between tooth structure and adhesive materials.
