Objective: This review aimed to analyze the evidence on the development and effectiveness of long-acting antibacterial dental adhesives for preventing secondary caries and restoration failure.
Methodology: Searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using the terms “antibacterial dental adhesive”, “nanoparticles”, “titanium dioxide”, and “caries prevention”. After duplicate elimination, studies were screened by title and abstract, and full texts were evaluated for inclusion. Eligible studies reported antibacterial mechanisms, bonding performance, and durability of adhesive systems.
Results: The integration of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and reactive oxygen species release demonstrated long-lasting antibacterial effects without compromising mechanical adhesion. Data revealed substantial reduction in bacterial infiltration and enhanced longevity of restorations.
Conclusion: Long-acting antibacterial dental adhesives represent a major innovation in restorative dentistry. By combining nanotechnology and sustained antimicrobial action, these materials can significantly reduce restoration failure rates and global caries-related healthcare costs.
