Dental last generation bonding systems require the total removal of smear layer and smear plug by chemical solutions. Intermediate fluid resin can penetrate the dentinal tubes obtaining a better anchorage to the dental structures. The department of Operative dentistry of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" has carried research observing by means of the SEM the ultrastructural aspect of smear layer and the effect of dentin treatment with five different chemical agents.
