Effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on dentin collagen

Ideally, in dentin the adhesive associates intimately with surface and creates a layer which can withstand the mechanical and chemical stress imposed upon it in the oral environment. The hybrid layer where collagen and adhesive intermingle is also considered the weak link, prone to degradation over time by host-derived proteinases and hydrolysis [1,2]. Failure of fillings to perform is often due to failure in this interface [3].
