Efficacy of new natural biomodification agents from Anacardiaceae extracts on dentin collagen cross-linking

Major drawbacks in dentin bond are related to enzymatic and hydrolytic degradation of hybrid layer and resin-sparse collagen matrix [1]. It is hypothesized that the quality and longevity of the dentin adhesion may be improved by increasing the dentin collagen mechanical properties [2]. In this regard, dentin biomodification improves the stiffness of the adhesive interface and protects the collagen fibrils from biodegradation by promoting collagen crosslinking [3].
