Abstract:
A method of bonding a composite resin to enamel, dentin or nonprecious metal, comprising the steps of:applying a single-solution adhesive resin formulation onto a prepared surface selected from the group consisting of enamel, dentin or nonprecious metal;air drying the adhesive resin formulation;repeating the steps of applying and air drying between 0 and 2 times;photopolymerizing the adhesive resin formulation;contacting the formulation with a composite resin;photopolymerizing the composite resin to form a bond having a shear bond strength of at least 20 MPawherein the formulation comprises not more than two monomers and an initiator consisting of a photoinitiator, wherein a first of the two monomers is an acidic monomer and the second of the two monomers is a diluent monomer.
