Efeito dos agentes de cross-linking na durabilidade da interface adesiva

As metaloproteinases (MMPs) são enzimas colagenolítcas endó- genas, capazes de degradar as fibrilas de colágeno presentes na dentina, gerando falhas da interface adesiva. Foram propostos agentes de cross-linking para diminuir essa degradação. O objetivo desta revisão de literatura foi ...
