An Overview of Dental
Bonding Resin Cements, Glass Ionomers & Resin-
Modified Glass Ionomers
Sharukh S. Khajotia, B.D.S., M.S., Ph.D.
OVERVIEW
Dental bonding agents and resin luting cements are constantly evolving areas of restorative dentistry. In addition, new products have been introduced in the glass ionomers category. Dentists are faced with a large range of restorative dental materials and are expected to separate advertising from reality. In this presentation, Dr. Khajotia will differentiate among the various categories of bonding agents and resin luting cements from the perspective of critical Materials Science considerations and clinical use, without personal bias or commercial interests. He will also discuss traditional glass ionomers and resin-modified glass ionomers from that perspective.
Dr. Khajotia will review the composition, manipulation and properties of bonding agents, resin luting cements, glass ionomers and resin-modified glass ionomers. He will also provide an overview of current research in his laboratory on the development of an antibacterial bonding system, and on interactions between oral biofilms and dental materials.
