The bonding evolution in dentistry continues

Article Abstract:

The use of bonding agents has become extremely popular since the 1970s. Bonding agents are used most often to bond restorative material to the tooth. Bonding agents work very well on enamel but their use on dentin has been unpredictable. Still, many dentists continue to use them on dentin. Manufacturers are developing bonding agents that have many fewer steps. One product in development would etch the tooth and prime and bond it all in one step. Many dentists also use bonding agents on amalgam fillings. Use of bonding agents on pulp is gaining support.

Evaluation of new products and concepts in dentistry

Article Abstract:

There are many ways dentists can evaluate new products. Companies that conduct pre-market product research are the best ones to consider. Stores that sell dental equipment and supplies are also good sources of product information. Dentists can recommend products to each other and also receive such advice from study clubs. Dental organizations can provide this information as can independent product evaluation groups. Dental schools can be an excellent source of product information.
