Abstract
A method for adhering non-amalgam dental restorative materials to a dental surface comprising the steps of a) etching the dental surface with acid, b) applying a treatment composition comprising an electron donor to the etched dental surface, c) applying a priming solution containing a film-former to the treated dental surface, d) applying a chemically curable dental adhesive to the primed dental surface, and e) applying non-amalgam dental restorative material to the adhesive-coated dental surface. The treatment composition comprises an electron donor compound selected such that the dental restorative has a higher Adhesive Shear Bond Strength than a like method without said electron donor compound.
