title: The development of resin-bonding for amalgam restorations.
abstract: Adhesive techniques are now used for many dental restorative materials, including amalgam. Several generations of dentine bonding agents have been developed, mainly for bonding composite resins. When bonding is used with amalgam restorations, the need for retention and resistance form is reduced, the seal is improved, and some procedures, such as amalgam sealants, which were not previously possible, can be considered.
