Subject. Dental restoration includes work on tissue restoration by filling, using inlays, veneers, and artificial crowns.
Adhesive systems are used in therapeutic dentistry for working with composites, compomers and some glass-ionomer cements, for adhesive fixation of all types of indirect structures, repairing chips of composite and ceramic linings; in pediatric dentistry for sealing fissures, for fixing orthodontic structures. Currently, there are eight generations of adhesives on the market of dental materials. The first two generations of adhesives required only enamel etching and transformed the dentin layer, while the third already provided for conditioning of the dentin, and the fourth and fifth ― and all-out etching. The sixth, seventh and eighth generations of adhesives are self-etching analogues. This article presents the results of a survey of practical health care dentists in choosing an adhesive system.
The goal is to evaluate the preferences of the choice of adhesive systems by dentists.
Methodology. 30 dental therapists and orthopedic dentists took part in the survey.
Results. The results of the questionnaire analysis showed that the majority of dentists prefer to use fifth-generation adhesives in their practice (46 %), the sixth generation of adhesive systems is in second place in popularity (31 %), followed by the "gold standard" ― the fourth generation (13 %), and the seventh (10 %) in last place.
Conclusions. The fifth-generation adhesive systems surpassed the other generations in efficiency and reliability. This is why the majority of dentists surveyed chose this generation.
