• Abstract:

  The introduction of adhesive systems has revolutionized dental practice, providing new alternatives for restorative treatments. Since the initial innovations introduced by Michael G. Buonocore, these materials have undergone significant transformations. The continuous evolution of adhesives, driven by the introduction of various options by the industry, has generated recurring uncertainties regarding the appropriate selection of these materials for different clinical procedures. With this in mind, this study presents a literature review on the adhesive systems of recent generations. This review was carried out by means of an electronic search in databases such as PubMed, Scielo and Periódicos do Capes, using keywords associated with dental adhesive systems. Next, the results of a survey to identify the main adhesives chosen by dental surgeons are presented, including an analysis of the choice of materials used by patients and dentists themselves.
