Resin adhesive resins have attempted to improve the bond strength at least in the first 24 h after bonding, the
long-term durability of the bonds has not yet been established analytically. However, numerous
recent studies have shown micromorphological evidence of biodegradation of resin—dentin
bonds, due to hydrolysis of the resin and collagen fibrils within the bonds. This review mainly
summarizes the most recent work in biodegradation of resin—dentin bonds based on micromor-
phological analyses of data obtained by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

1. Introduction
Many resin adhesive systems and types have been developed
and marketed in dentistry over the last two decades (Fig. 1).
