BONDING AGENTS:

During the early 20^th century, dental bonding consisted of various methods to create mechanical retention between the tooth and the restorative material. This included the undercut cavity preparation in amalgam restorations and other forms of physical retention such as grooves, skirts and slots. In the late 1950s, Dr. Michael Buonocore, discovered that phosphoric acid, in the concentrations around 37%, can be used to etch the tooth surfaces to create minute porosities, which can be used to create a micromechanical form of retention to the resin based composite restorative material.

Thus began the era of adhesive bonding in dentistry which is associated with the field of esthetic dentistry.

What are the different types of dental bonding agents?

TOTAL ETCH ADHESIVES:

The first bonding systems involved three steps : Etching of the enamel and dentin followed by rinsing and air drying; Application of a primer to prepare the tooth surface and application of the adhesive and light curing to facilitate formation of resin tags. This was called the Total Etch System of dental bonding.

37% orthophosphoric acid as reported by Buonocore is used to etch the tooth surface. After this step the tooth clinically shows a frosty white appearance in the applied regions.

Further research resulted in incorporation of the primer and adhesive in a single bottle, making it a two step process (5^th generation bonding agents)

SELF ETCH ADHESIVES:

The problem associated with the total etch system of dental bonding was that the enamel and dentin react differently to the action of the acid and that it was very technique sensitive. The dentin if over dried resulted in desiccation which is highly detrimental to bonding. To overcome the problems associated with the total etch adhesive system, self etch adhesives were developed. These bonding agents were introduced as the 6^th generation of bonding agents, which consisted of two components. The first was a bottle was the self etching primer and the second, the adhesive. This reduced the number clinical steps in the the treatment procedure and reduced the time taken. Taking it a step further the 7^th generation bonding agents were invented as a single component system. The etchant, primer and adhesive were developed as a single bottle assortment.

A new technique of bonding, the hybrid technique is being used by dentists, which makes use of both systems. The total etch technique is used for the enamel surfaces while the dentin surfaces are bonded using the self etch technique.

What are the ideal requirements of dental bonding agents?

• High bond strength to dentin similar to that of enamel
• Biocompatibility
• Minimize and prevent microleakage at the restoration margins
• Be minimally technique sensitive
• Have an adequate shelf life
• Compatibility with a wide range of composite resins
• Be non toxic and sensitizing to the dentist and the patients
• Should seal the tooth surfaces from the fluids of the oral cavity
