This paper addresses the application of new adhesive technologies to dentistry. The bonding of synthetic polymers to dentin is difficult and it has taken a long time to produce reliable methods. Success has been achieved suing a 4-methacryloyloxyethyl-trimellitate anhydride/methyl methacrylate-tri-n-butyl borane system which allows the generation of a layer of hybridised dentin. This provides a pseudo-wound-healing layer that resists demineralisation and degradation, is impermeable and inhibits secondary caries and hypersensitivity. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
