Adhesive bonding of various materials to hard tooth tissues: XIII Synthesis of a polyfunctional surface-active amine...

Surface-active amine polymerization accelerators can be prepared by the reaction of polyepoxy resins with the sodium salt of N-phenylglycine and N-methyl-p-toluidine. These materials are expected to promote adhesion through complexation with surface calcium (or other metal ions), utilizing several chelating groups per molecule, and by functioning as polymerization accelerators for dental resins; they can also function as catalysts for the anionic polymerization of cyanoarylate monomers.
