This month's news section highlights Alloybond , SDI's amalgam bonding system. SDI's commitment to excellence in new product development has culminated in the release of Alloybond. Amalgam bonding systems bond in two ways.
Resin penetrates into the demineralized dentin to form a mechanical bond.
This step is light cured and similar to a one component composite bonding system such as Stae. Secondly, a chemically curing resin system mechanically bonds to the amalgam. The amalgam is condensed onto the resin before polymerization. Condensing causes the amalgam to surround the resin. Once the resin has self cured and the amalgam has set, resin tags are locked within the amalgam restoration.
