# A dentin bonding agent has both hydrophilic and a hydrophobic end. The hydrophilic end bonds to:
A. Collagen of dentin
B. Calcium of enamel
C. Hydroxyapatite of hard tissues
D. Resinous restorative material
A. Collagen of dentin
B. Calcium of enamel
C. Hydroxyapatite of hard tissues
D. Resinous restorative material
The correct answer is A. Collagen of Dentin.
- Bonding of composite restoration to dentin depends on difunctional bonding agent.
- The dentin is hydrophilic and composites are hydrophobic. So, the primer used for bonding composites to dentin should have both the properties.
- Generally, 90% of dentin bonding agents are used for mechanical interlocking.
- Key ingredients in primers of dentin bonding systems is hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate. (HEMA)
