Improved adhesion of acrylic restorative materials to dental enamel by precoating with monomers containing phosphonate groups

E. P. Farley, R. L. Jones and M. Anbar

The adhesion of acrylic composite restorative materials to etched dental enamel is increased by a factor of two or more when the enamel is coated with a thin layer of vinyl-benzyl phosponic acid (VBPA) prior to forming the enamel-restorative bond. The present results support the suggestion that the enhanced adhesion is attributable to bonding between calcium ions in the enamel surface and phosphonate groups in the VBPA.
