CARLOS, Kose et al. Aplication of a new universal adhesive system: case report. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2013, vol.67, n.3, pp. 202-206. ISSN 0004-5276.

In spite of trying to make the current adhesive systems more simplified and versatile, until the moment the clinician should choose self-etch or etch-and-rinse adhesives. This case report aims to present the clinical application of a new adhesive system considered as universal, as it can be used under the self-etch or etch-and-rinse protocols. Caries-free cervical lesions were restored with the different application modes of the adhesive Single Bond Universal, that is, etching the entire cavity leaving dry or moist dentin, enamel etching only or applying the adhesive without etching. After finishing the restoration with resin composite, there were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months. The results demonstrated an excellent clinical behavior when this new adhesive system was used under any protocol proposed. Long term studies and more clinical reports are needed to prove the results here presented.
