Dental adhesion and the All-Bond system

The All-Bond dentin enamel bonding system is designed to be used for most dental applications when adhesion is needed. It is claimed that the system will bond to most surfaces encountered in the intraoral environment. This report examines the results obtained when the All-Bond dentin-enamel bonding system is used to bond to enamel, dentin, porcelain, and three types of metals. Special emphasis is placed on the fact that this material bonds to wet dentin surfaces. This has heretofore been considered impossible. The phosphoric acid etchant allows simultaneous treatment of the dentin and enamel surfaces, thus simplifying the procedure and reducing technique sensitivity.
