Matthew R. Miller, DDS, emphasizes that successful adhesion in dentistry is measured by longevity and stability rather than just initial bond strength. Key challenges in achieving durable dentin adhesion include proper isolation and light curing. Simplifying adhesive systems can improve outcomes but may also introduce risks if the chemistry is not balanced. Long-term success in endodontically treated teeth relies on preserving tooth structure and achieving a stable dentin bond. Looking ahead, advances in adhesive materials will focus on biocompatibility and bioactivity.
