Abstract:

Minimally invasive dental restoration technology based on adhesive properties is a characteristic technology system for dental defect repair at present. The key to clinical success lies in the durability and stability of the resin-bonded interface between the composite material and the teeth. Given that the resin-bonded restorations are exposed to the mouth for an extended period, micro-leakage gradually appears at the edges of the restorations and bacteria and their products enter the prosthesis, which leads to secondary caries. Considering its peculiar structure and special properties, graphene and its derivatives have attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad. Their applications in the field of stomatology have also been widely studied. In this study, we review the research on graphene and its derivatives in the field of dental bonding. Their applications in dental bonding are also discussed and summarized.

Key words: graphene, graphene derivatives, bonding
