Adhesive restorative materials: A review

Abstract

Abstract'Adhesive' restorative dentistry originated with the work of Buonocore in 1955 in bonding resin to etched enamel. Since then, adhesive materials and techniques have developed at a rapid rate. The first chemically adhesive material (zinc polycarboxylate cement) was marketed in the late 1960s, and glassionomer cements and dentine bonding agents have since become available. This review focuses on the latter two products. Glass-ionomer cements have a particular role in adhesive dentistry because of their reliable chemical adhesion to enamel and dentine, and because of their apparent ability to promote the remineralization of 'affected' dentine. Dentine bonding agents have undergone marked changes in presentation over the last 15 years, but all have an essentially similar bonding system, that of hybrid layer formation. However, the most recent systems have limited clinical data supporting their use.

Effect of Air Abrasion Preconditioning on Microleakage in Class V Restorations Under Cyclic Loading: An In-vitro Study

“…GIC possesses many attributes of a perfect restorative material for carious and NCCLs. It sets by acid base reaction and forms an ionic bond between the carboxyl (COO-) ions in the cement acid and the calcium (Ca++) ions in tooth [16]. Pretreatment of the dentin surface with 10% PAA facilitate its bonding with the tooth structure.…”

“…Pretreatment of the dentin surface with 10% PAA facilitate its bonding with the tooth structure. In addition to calcium complexation and hydrogen bonding, adhesion of GIC to enamel surface occurs by inter crystalline bonding [16].…”

Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of selected conventional glass ionomer cements on human gingival fibroblasts

“…2,4 Glass ionomer cements were launched in the dentistry market in the 1970s. [5][6][7][8] Their composition was based on fluoroaluminosilicate glass and a liquid part, usually a water solution of polyalkenoic acid. [5][6][7][8] Unfortunately, because of their disadvantages, including low mechanical strength, long setting time and high sensitivity to moisture at the beginning of curing, the first products from this group were criticized by clinicians.…”

[5][6][7][8] Unfortunately, because of their disadvantages, including low mechanical strength, long setting time and high sensitivity to moisture at the beginning of curing, the first products from this group were criticized by clinicians. [5][6][7][8] However, these materials had some indisputable advantages: chemical adhesion to mineralized tooth tissues, remineralization and antibacterial properties.…”

Orthodontic Adhersives: Review

“…Cermet is fusion of metal particles with conventional GIC cement. Admix is addition of amalgam alloy with conventional GIC [8] . Inspite of its advantage of its higher bond strength with enamel, dentin and other metals, it has some drawbacks like acurrate liquid:powder ratio, moisture contamination, low fracture resistance [9,10] and thereby affects the physical properties of the GIC while setting [5] .…”
