Dentin bonding has been the object of intensive research for many years. If a substance is expected to bond to a natural tooth surface, the morphologic and physiologic characteristics of the substrate determine both the bonding applications and testing methods used. This two‐part article is a literature review. Part I is a detailed description of the structure of dentin. In Part II the importance of intrapulpal pressure on understanding bonding and testing will be discussed.
