The hybridization process, or the formation of a hybrid layer allows for advanced dental treatments that were previously impossible using conventional techniques. Discussed are properties of dentin, acidic conditioning and hybridization substrates, and characterization, quality, and clinical functions of the hybrid layer. Useful for anyone who wants to learn more about resin hybridization of tooth structure.
