Abstract
The use of polymerizable monomeric conditioning agents for treating the enamel and dentin of a tooth prior to application of a primer and subsequent application of a bonding resin, or a combination of a primer/bonding resin has been found to provide good shear bond strength on both moist and dry dentin. In addition, the contact angles provided by water on dentin conditioned with the polymerizable conditioners as compared to the non-polymerizable phosphoric acid are much lower, reflecting improved spreading over the surface of the tooth.
