PG  - 15-9
AB  - The paper reviews the literature on the biocompatibility of dentine-bonding 
      agents with respect to their ability to perform their defined function. Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM) pictures, prepared by the critical-point drying 
      technique, are used to illustrate the various aspects of bonding to dentine such 
      as the nature of dentine, the smear layer and the effects of primers, 
      conditioners and etchants. From the review of the literature it can be concluded 
      that the mechanisms of bonding to dentine are still not fully understood. The 
      more recently introduced materials use mechanical means of adhesion where the 
      dentine is altered by primers or conditioners to expose collagen fibres and a 
      hybrid zone is created by the penetration of unfilled resins into this fibrous 
      network. The irritant effects of a bonding agent on pulpal tissue may be caused 
      by bacterial ingrowth due to initial poor bonding or a breakdown of the bond in 
      addition to any inherent toxicity of the constituents of the bonding agent.
