Background: Adhesion of restorative material to tooth structure in class v cavities is challenging due to margins lying on enamel and cementum. Sealing ability of newer generations of self etch adhesives have claimed to be better than the previously introduced dentin bonding adhesives. The aim of this review is to evaluate bonding efficacy of self etch adhesives in class V cavities. Study Eligibility Criteria: The inclusion criteria were articles in English or those having detailed summary in English, published between 2009 to 2017. Articles providing information about self etch adhesives i.e 6th, 7th and 8th generation bonding agents. Articles providing information about in vitro comparative studies in which class V cavities are prepared. However, only articles where class V cavities were restored using self etch adhesives were included. Review, case reports, abstracts, letters to editors, editorials were excluded. In vivo studies were excluded from this systematic review. Conclusion: Two- step 6th generation bonding agent shows less micro leakage as compared to one step 6th generation bonding agent. No significant difference was seen between 6th and 7th generation bonding agents.
