Abstract

The acid, etching technique produces a high micromechanical adhesion and high degree o f physical bond o f composite resins to enamel. Developing an effective adhesive bond to dentin is more difficult due to the chemical and biological complexity o f dentin. Many techniques and means have been developed with the purpose to adhesive chemical bond o f composite resin to organic and anorganic
components o f dentin. Dentin bonding agents provide the most appropriate conditions for bonding o f composite resins to acid etched dentin surface and they have been developed through a few generations with continual improvements in bond strength and marginal sealing. These article represents classification o f dentin bonding agents in 4 generations according to physical and chemical properties o f materials.
