One of the key features of polyacid-modified composite resins is their lack of adhesion to tooth tissnes [5]. This is a feature that they share with conventional dental composite resins, and the contrasts with the behaviour of the glass-ionomer cement. It is further evidence that these materials are essentially composite resins, and have very little of the anticipated hybrid character of composites and glass-ionomers. Bonding therefore reqnires the type of bespoke bonding agents used for conventional composite resins, together with the appropriate preparation of the freshly cut tooth surface [6].
