AN ADVANCED MULTIPURPOSE DENTAL ADHESIVE SYSTEM

An advanced dental adhesive system, composed of acrylic monomers and c oupling agents, characterized by high tensile bond strength, enhanced durability, and biocompatibility was developed. The adhesive compositi on is curable chemically (self curing) or by visible light. This adhes ive composition can be used for bonding to various substrates such as dentin, enamel, precious and nonprecious alloys, 'fresh' and 'set' ama lgam, porcelain, and dental composite. Thus, the developed liquid adhe sive composition could be considered as a universal dental adhesive.
