doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2025.06.001

Abstract

Abstract: Graphene oxide is an oxygen-containing derivative of graphene, which is amphiphilic and suitable for chemical modification. In recent years, in order to develop efficient and durable adhesive and improve dentin bonding durability, many studies have used graphene oxide modified adhesive to improve mechanical strength, chemical and thermal stability, and antibacterial properties. This paper will review the structure and properties of graphene oxide and its mechanism of improving dentin bonding.

Key words: graphene oxide, dentin bonding, antibacterial property, bonding durability
