The effects of some adhesives on the bonding of amalgam filling to tooth substance were studied. The bonding agents were 4-META resin with adhesive ability derived from the acid anhydride functional group and PANAVIA EX, a composite type adhesive. The sealing and the bonding effects were measured using the dye penetration and shear tests. Both of the adhesive materials had an excellent ability to seal the leakage between the amalgam and the tooth substance.
