Adhesive materials must form multiple bonds with sound tooth substrates for maximum adhesion. Adhesive resins can be applied in incremental layers to bond composite materials to enamel and dentin. Hardening shrinkage and stress concentrations are factors that have detrimental effects on adhesive bonding with resins and composites. Improvements in dimensional stability of composites can therefore allow for better bonding and sealing of preventive and restorative materials.
