The use of organic compounds of phosphorus in clinical dentistry

J W Nicholson et al. Biomaterials. 1996 Nov.

Abstract

Organic compounds of phosphorus have been developed for a range of applications in clinical dentistry. These include dentine bonding agents, restorative materials and therapeutic agents, such as active ingredients in anticaries mouthwashes. A characteristic feature of all of these applications is the good bonding of the phosphorus compound to the tooth. This review highlights the progress that has been made to date in preparing functional and durable organophosphorus bonding agents and cements, and includes coverage of recent synthetic work aimed at preparing improved organophosphorus molecules for this application. The review concludes that this remains a promising field of chemistry to explore in the search for improved, clinically useful dental materials.
