What Makes a Good Adhesive? The 3 Things That Really Matter - Bonding & Beer - Ep. 47

In Episode 47 of Bonding & Beer, Rolando Nunez breaks down 3 key characteristics that make an adhesive a good adhesive: convenience, compatibility, and water content.

When it comes to dental adhesives and universal bonding agents, convenience doesn't always mean better performance. Compatibility can determine whether your adhesive works predictably with other dental materials. And water content can influence both the chemistry of the adhesive and its resistance to hydrolytic degradation over time.

In this episode, we discuss
• Convenience in dental adhesives - What makes an adhesive easy to use? What are the tradeoffs?
• Adhesive compatibility - Open architecture and closed architecture adhesives
• Water content in dental adhesives - Why do dental adhesives contain water and why does water content matter?
• Examples of universal adhesives and dental boding agents that we believe nail the most important aspects of an adhesive.
