ABSTRACT:
A method and system for attaching, for example, an artificial dental prosthetic device such as a crown, cap, or bridge to a prepared tooth structure utilizes a fluoride releasing dentin bonding system in combination with a cement layer. The dentin bonding system is first applied to the prepared tooth structure, the dentin bonding system including a primer layer and a VLC microfill composite resin layer in certain embodiments. Then the artificial prosthetic device (e.g. crown) is removably adhered to the prepared tooth structure and the dentin bonding system by way of the cement (e.g. zinc oxide based type). The cement layer sandwiched between the attached device and the dentin bonding system has a shear function less than that of the device and the dentin bonding system but sufficient to permanently bond the device to the tooth and dentin bonding system during masticatory functions and demands, thereby permitting the device to be removed or sheared from the tooth (and dentin bonding system) without destroying either. Thus, the artificial prosthetic device can be removed from the prepared tooth structure in the event that the need to do so arises (e.g. if non-functionality during mastication occurs or if endodontic responses develop).
