What isnormal dentin?
Nanoleakage
• Dentin bonds made w/ hydrophilic adhesives are permeable to water
•Water sorption from dentin during and after bonding
•Hydrolytic breakdown of resin and collagen
•Permeability potential is material specific

Phosphoric-acid etching of dentin could nowadays be considered too aggressive for dentin, given all the consequences related to exposure of the vulnerable collagen.

How?
Durability of the resin-dentin bond
•Dentin bonds made w/ hydrophilic contemporary adhesivesdeteriorate over time:
•Degradation of exposed demineralized collagen fibrils by host enzymes from dentin
•Hydrolysis of unpolymerized resin by host enzymes from saliva
•Hydrolysis of hydrophilic resin components via water sorption
