MDP Monomer

MDP MonomerAfter Kuraray introduced the first adhesive monomer in dental history by inventing the phosphate monomer Phenyl-P in 1976, its molecular structure was improved in 1983 by creating a molecule with greater adhesive capability to the tooth structure and an affinity for metal. The result of this development work was the MDP monomer (10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate), which convinced users by its special monomer structure...

MDPB Monomer
mdpb.jpgThe primer of CLEARFIL™ PROTECT BOND has antibacterial effects against bacteria by direct contact thanks to the integrated functional MDPB monomer. As is the case with so many modern developments, the question, “How can that work?” can be answered relatively easily: the pyridinium group as a component of the MDPB monomer (12-Methacryloyloxydodecyl pyridinium bromide) is positively charged...

Total-etch vs. self-etch
In 1978, Prof. T. Fusayama from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University was confronted with a technical problem. He had the idea of permanently filling cavities with resin materials as an esthetic alternative to amalgamate...
