What is Bonding Challenges with Caries-Affected Dentin about?

This document reviews bonding to caries-affected dentin. It discusses how caries-affected dentin differs from normal dentin in its mineral, organic, and structural properties due to demineralization from dental caries. Specifically, caries-affected dentin has lower mineral content, altered collagen structure, and larger apatite crystals compared to normal dentin. As a result, caries-affected dentin produces lower bond strengths and poorer quality hybrid layers when used as a bonding substrate compared to no
