title: [Bonding to dentin].
abstract: The development of adhesive systems is mainly concentrated on the possibility of chemical bond formation. Although glass-ionomer bonds chemically both to enamel and dentin and proved to be a successful restorative in class V restorations, the ultimate goal is to accomplish a strong and durable bond with the esthetic composite materials. The mechanism of chemical bonding to dentin apatite and collagen is discussed for a number of recently developed dentin bonding agents. Bond strengths up to 15 MPa can be obtained, but these are still not able to resist the forces of polymerization shrinkage of the composite materials.
