What is it about?
Background: Bonded restorations have transformed modern dentistry by enabling minimally invasive, esthetic, and durable tooth restorations. However, the long-term effectiveness of dental adhesives is challenged by the complex nature of dentin bonding, hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation, and bacterial infiltration at the adhesive interface, which contribute to restoration failure and secondary caries.

Why is it important?
Objectives: This review aims to summarize recent advances in antibacterial dental adhesives, focusing on the incorporation of bioactive and nanostructured additives—particularly chitosan and graphene-oxide—to enhance bond durability, mechanical properties, and antibacterial performance.
Perspectives
Bonded restorations have transformed modern dentistry by offering minimally invasive, esthetic and durable solutions for tooth restoration. The concept of bonded restorations relies on adhesive technology, enabling restorations to adhere securely to tooth structures without need for extensive preparation [1].
