- Diffusion and impregnation of resin into the
substrate of partially decalcified dentin followed by

mixture of polymerize and tooth structure
components creating a resin / dentin composite.

the field of adhesive dentistry.
It is a universal bonding system that
will bond composite to all dental

It is also the only system that allows
the use of both the conservative and
all etch techniuqe.www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
53. Mechanism of bonding:
- Bonding occur by hybridization.
- Research by Nakayabashi has shown that strong
bond is formed between dentin and resin when a
monomer such as 4-META, penetrates the tissue
and polymers.
The resin impregnation creates a transitional “Hybrid
layer that is neither resin not tooth, but a hybrid o the
two. This direct chemical interaction which the inter
tubular dentin is the key to bond strength

54. Advantages of All-Bond
- Bond strength – 18MPa.
- Leaves no residue on dentine surface (because of
semi-gel form).
- Wets better.
- Rinse easier.
- Bonds to wet surface.
All-bond provides a special resin called “Pre-bond” to be
used in place of light curing bonding resin when
cementing inlays, onlay or crown

The reliability of dentine bonding has improved during
1990s and as a result the number of minimally invasive
techniques available to the restorative dentist have
increased. It may be anticipated that the effectiveness
of adhesive technique to be dentin will improve further
and that in due course all restorations including
crowns, will be placed using an adhesive procedure and
that reattachment technique will become the accepted
mode of treatment for fractured cusps and teeth.
