Abstract
An adhesive for attaching polymeric or polymerizable restorative materials to dentine or other tooth structure, which comprises a polymer of (a) a condensate of .epsilon.-caprolactone with one or more acrylic monomers containing hydroxy groups and (b) a polymer containing binding groups capable of binding to the dentine or other tooth structure, optionally dissolved in a suitable solvent. The adhesive may be used in adhesive compositions including polymerizable monomers, polymerization initiators or fillers.
