A composite bonding agent is a dental adhesive used to create a strong bond between composite resin and the tooth structure. It plays a crucial role in restorative dentistry by ensuring durability and retention of the composite filling. There are different types of bonding agents, including etch-and-rinse (total-etch) systems, which require separate acid etching, self-etch systems, which contain acidic monomers to eliminate the need for a separate etching step, and universal bonding agents, which offer flexibility by working in both modes. These bonding agents typically consist of a primer, which prepares the tooth surface, an adhesive resin, which bonds the composite material, and solvents like ethanol or acetone to enhance penetration and adhesion.
