Bonding Performance, Mass Stability and Mechanical Properties of Self-Adhesive Resin Composites and Conventional Dental Composites: A Comparative Laboratory Evaluation.

Researchers compared self-adhesive and conventional resin composites, finding that while self-adhesive materials showed similar bonding strength to conventional composites with adhesive, they demonstrated inferior water stability and mechanical properties over time.
