Popular during the early years of adhesive dentistry, chemical-cure dentin bonding systems have since become less common with the rise of light-curing, but they still serve a purpose when restoring the pulp chambers of endodontically treated teeth. In this episode Dr. David Alleman discusses the polymerization dynamics of chemical-cure and light-cure adhesives and how that impacts their effectiveness in different aspects of a successful adhesive restoration.
