Description
Yesim Demirel Karaduman and three colleagues compare dental bonding agents in a 2026 network meta-analysis. Universal adhesives can be used in two ways: with an acid rinse step, or self-etching without it. The question was which products grip dentin most strongly, before and after ageing. The team searched three databases for lab studies.
Of 1,677 records, 82 studies entered the pooled analysis, covering 22 adhesives. Rankings put G2-Bond Universal and Scotchbond Universal near the top in self-etch mode, both fresh and aged. Zipbond Universal led in the rinse mode at both time points. Most comparisons carried high certainty. The authors conclude that application strategy and material makeup matter more than any single ingredient. They add that clinical trials should confirm the lab rankings.
