I would like to use a 7th-generation bonding agent because they are so quick and easy to use, but I am nervous about the quality of the bond. Are the bonds to enamel and dentin as strong as the previous generation bonding agents?

Each generation of bonding agents have some products that provide good bond strengths. Of the 7^th-generation products available, BOND FORCE (Tokuyama Dental) is one that has been tested by THE DENTAL ADVISOR Biomaterials Research Center and produced high bond strengths both to dentin and enamel. It is easy to use, can be used in most bonding applications, and received the highest rating by Clinical Consultants of THE DENTAL ADVISOR.
