Abstract
A single solution bonding formulation for dental applications comprising a plurality of at least one self-polymerizable polyvinyl acidic monomer or at least two different polymerizable polyvinyl acidic monomers, a calcium phosphate filler, at least one photoinitiator, optionally an accelerator, optionally a solvent, and optionally a fluoride additive is provided. Additionally, a method for treating enamel, dentin, and/or pulp with the same single solution bonding formulation is provided. The single solution bonding formulation provides for the release of calcium, phosphate and/or fluoride ions which are sufficient in situ to form hydroxyapatite and/or fluorapatite.
