title: Simplified adhesion of compomers in pediatric dentistry.
abstract: A self-etching adhesive agent for bonding polyacid-modified resin-based composite materials ("compomers") to enamel and dentin is now available. The Prompt L-Pop system simplifies and hastens dental bonding procedures and has proved itself useful in many adhesive dentistry applications. This article describes the bonding system and shows clinical examples of its use in children and teenagers. The concept will have further application in adhesive dentistry with introduction of a new formulation of Prompt, to be used with traditional resin-based composite materials.
