Adhesive dentistry is a branch of dentistry which deals with adhesion or bonding to the natural substance of teeth, enamel and dentin.It studies the nature and strength of adhesion to dental hard tissues, properties of adhesive materials, causes and mechanisms of failure of the bonds, clinical techniques for bonding and newer applications for bonding such as bonding to the soft tissue.

Dental bonding agents. If the fracture is close to the pulp, the dentist may apply a layer of MTA to protect the area and encourage healing 2. Preparation for Restoration. An acid etchant is applied to clean the exposed dentin and improve the bonding process. A bonding agent is then used to form a secure base for the restoration material. 3.
A Lakewood dentist’s permit to sedate patients was indefinitely suspended recently due to unsafe practices after a medically fragile man died while undergoing a procedure to have multiple teeth ...
Pulp capping is a technique used in dental restorations to protect the dental pulp, after it has been exposed, or nearly exposed during a cavity preparation, from a traumatic injury, or by a deep cavity that reaches the center of the tooth, causing the pulp to die. [1]
Bonding agents can be applied to dentine before cementation of inlays and onlays. [44] This is something that is very useful as dentine contains a lot of mineral, which makes binding more problematic. [44] A bonding agent that is applied straight after the preparation has been finished will give rise to greater dentine bond strengths. [44]
Modern dental bonding systems come as a “three-step system”, where the etchant, primer, and adhesive are applied sequentially; as a “two-step system”, where the etchant and the primer are combined for simultaneous application; and as a “one-step system”, where all the components should be premixed and applied in a single application ...
Trauma is believed to be the cause of ankylosis, causing cell death on the root surface. Ankylosis may happen once the injured surface area has reached more than 20%. [ citation needed ] Damage to the root surface area will trigger an inflammatory response , migration and repopulation of faster bone forming cells, instead of slower periodontal ...
The incidence of traumatic dental injuries is 1–3%, and the prevalence is steady at 20–30%." [49] Almost 30% of the children in pre-school have mostly experienced trauma to primary teeth. Dental injuries involving the permanent teeth happen to almost 25% of children in school and 30% of adults.
