They produce a shallower demineralized zone and acid penetration, but still expose almost all of
the collagen and dissolve almost
all of the hydroxyapatite.
Mild self-etching systems have
pH levels above 2. They have a
shallow, partial demineralized
effect on dentin with residual
hydroxyapatite still attached
to the collagen. This surface
characteristic has been shown to
promote some chemical bonding
between the calcium and the
carboxylic acid or phosphatebased monomers like Phenyl-P
and 10-MDP. It is only in these
weak pH systems that both micromechanical and chemical adhesion
is seen at the dentin adhesion
interface. Maintaining some
hydroxyapatite for a chemical
bond may protect the collagen
matrix against hydrolysis and
early degradation of the bond.18,19
The most simplified of all the
modes available today are the
all-in-one self-etching systems.
They claim to accomplish all three
steps with a single application.
The thinness of the hybrid layer,
the aggressiveness of most of these
systems, and the incompatibility
with dual or self-cured composites
should cause concern in many
clinical situations. More testing
should be completed before this
material is recommended for
clinical use.

A close look at the very best material combined with the perfect
clinical technique still shows need
for improvement. Degradation of
the denuded collagen within the
adhesive resin-infiltrated dentin
is still a major problem in dentin
bonding. This sometimes rapid and
other times slow breakdown leads
to nanoleakage along the dentinrestoration interface and loss of
retention of the composite restoration. What may be in our future to
