Abstract

To begin with emphasis is made of the importance o f chemical pretreatment o f hard dental tissues during the process of restoration. The adhesive restorative process modifies the basic principles of cavity preparation and the basic principles o f prevention o f dental caries. In the early fifties the procedure was restricted to treatment o f enamel edges. The concentration o f acid, the time required for etching as well as the ultramicroscopic appearance o f etched enamel were at that stage the main objective of research. Chemical treatment o f dentin and adhesion o f the composite restoration to dentin proved to be a challenging and complex task. Continuous progress and improvement o f dental adhesives through five generations lead to optimal results regarding the clinical adhesive treatment procedure and the bond strength of the composite restoration opposed to that of demineralised dentin and enamel. More recent histopathological studies of pulp tissue have shown that there was no decline in the function or vitality o f pulp tissue, following the clinical adhesive procedure. Biocompatibility of the dental pulp against
the chemical pre-treatment and the use o f the adhesive systems is constantly being examined by certain parameters of biological testing
in order to provide substantial support and confirmation of clinical achievements.
