The authors, basing on literature discuss the role of chlorhexidine (CHX) in adhesion to dentine in restorative dentistry. Many studies have shown that the chlorhexidine has an inhibitory effect on metalloproteinases (MMPs), by preventing the degradation of the connection between bonding system and a dentin. Despite the introduction of additional procedure in the form of disinfection of the cavity using chlorhexidine and thus the extension of the valuable chair-time, the fact of preventing microleakage and secondary caries seems to be convincing but further detailed studies must be carried out in this area. © 2012 Curr.
