Clinical Applications
priory.com/den/resin.htm
Enamel Bonding Agents
Diluted Bis-GMA or TEG-DMA resins.
Hydrophobic.. Bond only to dry enamel surfaces
New formulations have hydrophilic resins (HEMA) to be used for
both enamel and dentin bonding
ADHESIVE BONDING
TO TOOTH DENTIN
Bonding to collagen
o Glutaraldehyde reacts with collagen forming a charged compounds that
reacts with HEMA molecule.
o 4-META (4- methyloxy ethyl trimellitic anhydride) can be used as a
potential coupling agent to collage
Micro-mechanical attachment
Retention of resin adhesive could be achieved to irregular dentin surfaces
(inter-tubular dentin) and to the walls of opened dentinal tubules (intra-
tubular dentin).
Interpenetration attachment
Hydrophilic resin adhesive is required to penetrate the wet
collagen. e.g. HEMA , PAA and NPG-GMA (N-phenyl glycerol
glucidyl methacrylate)
