Dental biomaterials and the healing of dental tissue
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper addresses the application of new adhesive technologies to dentistry. The bonding of synthetic polymers to dentin is difficult and it has taken a long time to produce reliable methods. Success has been achieved suing a 4-methacryloyloxyethyltrimellitate anhydride/methyl methacrylate-tri-n-butyl borane system which allows the generation of a layer of hybridised dentin. This provides a pseudo-wound-healing layer that resists demineralisation and degradation, is impermeable and inhibits secondary caries and hypersensitivity.
