Selective Enamel Etching Boosts Bond Strength

Veteran dentists are missing a critical step that's changing patient outcomes. I discovered this

during a complex restoration case last month when traditional bonding kept failing.

After reviewing recent literature, I found that selective enamel etching combined with universal adhesives

increases bond strength by forty percent compared to our standard protocol. The technique requires

just fifteen extra seconds but dramatically reduces post operative sensitivity. I tested it on twelve

patients and saw zero complications. Sometimes the smallest adjustments make the biggest difference

in our daily practice.
