5m 20s
This video dives into the role of chlorhexidine in dental adhesion processes, particularly its use in protecting collagen exposed during total acid etching. Learn about its potential to inhibit collagen degradation caused by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and its effectiveness in improving adhesion longevity. We also discuss its relevance in total vs. self-etch techniques, its antibacterial properties, and cavity cleaning benefits. Understand the science behind chlorhexidine, when and why it makes sense to use it, and explore alternative research on metalloproteinase inhibitors. Perfect for dental professionals looking to optimize adhesion protocols and explore advanced methods for longevity and reliability.
