[Methods of bonding to the enamel in orthodontics].
Mastery of the bonding stage of treatment is clearly a critical step in the clinical practice of orthodontics. There is such a wide variety of products available in orthodontics that a reasoned assessment of bonding systems is a practical necessity. Composite plastics, associated with hydrophobic or hydro-compatible adhesive systems, and the CVIMAR represent the two principal types of bonding agents used in dentistry. They are categorized according to their constituents into a wide range of products whose nuanced differences are sometimes difficult to discern. This paper first focuses on the development of the composition of the various materials, a depiction of the fundamental parameters of adhesion, and a detailed terminology to help the reader reach a basic understanding. Bonding systems are designed to fulfill the requirements of specific clinical situations. A description of their modes of adhesion, of their composition, and of their advantages and disadvantages will be presented in the second part of this article.
