Contemporary dentin adhesives show reliable adhesion performance regardless of their adhesion protocol. It is mostly attributed to the improved chemical composition of them. However, their performance can be also improved by various clinical techniques. “Agitation” is the most important technique among them. It is easiest and most useful technique in clinic. In addition, it can be used to all dentin adhesives. This manuscript describes various evidence for the agitation and provides its clinical guidance.
