Summary
Dental amalgams are considered superior restorative materials due to longevity and resistance, outperforming composite resins. This review explores the evolution of dentin bonding systems, crucial for modern dental restorations.
Area of Science:
- Dental Materials Science
- Biomaterials Engineering
Background:
- Clinicians select dental restorations from options like amalgams, composite resins, ceramics, and gold alloys.
- Key parameters for selection include preparation time, finishing, marginal integrity, aesthetics, durability, and resistance to microleakage, wear, and corrosion.
Observation:
- Amalgams are generally regarded as superior restorative materials, offering 10-25 service years compared to 7-11 years for composite resins.
- Composite resins, especially for indirect fabrication, necessitate advanced dentin bonding systems for a stable tooth structure bond.
Findings:
- The development of dentin bonding systems has progressed through five generations over approximately 25 years.
- Various bonding agents and models have been introduced, enhancing the performance of composite resin restorations.
Implications:
- Understanding the history and mechanisms of dentin bonding agents is crucial for advancing dental restorative techniques.
- Continued innovation in bonding systems may bridge the performance gap between amalgams and composite resins.
