Dentin Bonding Agents (Etch & Rinse / Self Etch / Universal Adhesives) - Which one is the BEST???

Which is the best dental bonding agent??
This video talks about the different types of bonding agents or dental adhesives that are available to us, how to use these materials and the evidence based protocols for its use.
With so many dentin adhesives in the market, we often get confused which one to use, what is the difference between them, are the newer ones better?? Can one single type of bonding agent be used for both direct as well as indirect restorations??
With the progress in adhesive dentistry and dental bonding, it is imperative to be up-to-date with the recent protocols and practices followed. The objective of this video is to summarize and simplify all the current concepts of adhesion in dentistry and clear all doubts and queries regarding various dental bonding agents.
The bonding agents discussed here are
1) Etch and Rinse Adhesives
2) Self Etch Adhesives
3) Universal Adhesives

How does the smear layer chemically interacts with the self etch adhesives?

[@pritammankapure4032]

So apart from universal adhesive agent, adhesion armamentarium should include materials for both total etch systems like - etchent - primer And self etch systems like - acidic primer For indirect restorations, - HF etchent+ silane primer for glass ceramics - zirconia primer or Universal adhesive with 10MDP. Is it correct?

[@Theunderrateddentist]

You would not need a separate primer with universal adhesives...only if you are using a 4th generation bonding agent / 3-step total etch adhesive as mentioned in the video....same goes for self etch...if u purchase that system, it comes with the acidic primer...no need to get one separately when using a universal adhesive. 37% phosphoric acid etchant, HF etchant, silane primer, zr primer you will need...
