It is most commonly discussed in adhesive dentistry, where resins (bonding agents and composites) are bonded to enamel and dentin. It typically includes isolation, surface preparation, bonding, placement of a restorative material, curing with a light, and finishing. The exact steps vary by clinician and case, and by material and manufacturer."}
