Other factors also enter into micromechanical adhesion, notably the electrostatic forces both attractive and repulsive that may be operating between the adhesive and the micro-topography of the substrate as well as a property of the applied fluid known as thixotropy. A thixotropic fluid is one that under the action of mechanical forces such as stirring, vibration, and even kneading will temporarily transform to a state that has a lower viscosity and which exhibits better flow than the fluid in its static state.
Thixotropic behavior is an important characteristic for endodontic root canal sealants which are required to flow into a root canal, often under vibration. Further, thixotropy is often incorporated into industrial and domestic paints by additives such as silicic acid and is probably present in various dental adhesive and cement formulations.
Thixotropy, when present in an adhesive, provides certain advantages to the overall adhesion system. In particular, when a thixotropic adhesive is applied to a substrate surface, it will remain in place, even on vertical surfaces. Further, because adhesive flow is determined in part by the mechanical forces imposed on the adhesive, there can be greater control of the adhesive film thickness combined with improved flow into the microtopography of the substrate surface.
It follows from the above that the adhesive bonded to a substrate often has a modified molecular structure at the bonding interface. This interfacial region is known as the adhesion zone Figure 9 and is characterized by the changes in the adhesive and sometimes in the substrate that may arise from the bonding interactions. The transition zone, the region between the bonding interface and the bulk of the adhesive, is the area over which the chemical, mechanical, and optical properties of the adhesive differ from those of the bulk adhesive.
It varies in thickness, from a few nanometers up to a few millimeters, with the thickness depending on the nature of the substrate surface, the chemical composition, and physical characteristics of the adhesive being applied and the curing conditions. It is considerations such as these that determine, at least in part, the selection of the optimum luting agent for the various combinations of luting agents and restorations that were discussed by Pameijer in his review of luting agents [ 8 ].
Adhesive dentistry, whether it is the cementation or luting of a restoration to a prepared tooth or restoration with a composite resin, involves the application and curing of an adhesive at the interface between tooth tissue and the restorative material.
Consequently, all of the aspects of adhesion and cohesion discussed above are involved in this process. Restoration with a composite material has three principal steps. Finally, a resin is applied to the primed surface so that when polymerized in situ , it micromechanically i. Bonding to dentin presents greater problems than to enamel because it has a high organic content, a non-uniform composition and it is permeated by tubules. While this smear layer can provide pulpal protection by reducing dentin permeability, it hinders bonding.
Bonding to dentin involves three stages, namely, conditioning, priming, and bonding, although some commercial bonding systems combine two or more stages into a single step.
The conditioning stage involves modifying or removing the smear layer by acidic conditioners, the precise approach being determined by the bonding system used. Priming is the key step in dentin bonding because it promotes interactions between hydrophobic restorative resins and hydrophilic dentin. Primers dentin bonding agents are bifunctional molecules, one end being a methacrylate group that bonds to resin and the other a reactive group that reacts with dentin.
Thus, primers are coupling agents, that is, they are bifunctional molecules that primarily bond to calcium but may also interact with collagen.
The bonding adhesive agent is a fluid resin that flows over and wets the primed surface to form an effective bond when cured in situ. It should be noted that many manufacturers combine many of the conditioning, priming and bonding steps in their systems. If the primer and conditioner are combined as with self-etching primers, the smear layer is incorporated within the primer that directly contacts the dentin and constitutes the adhesive zone.
The subsequently applied restorative resin bonds to primed dentin when polymerized. An advantage with self-etching primers is that the dentin is maintained in a moist condition throughout the bonding procedure although enamel etching with such systems is less effective than with phosphoric acid treatment.
Alternatively, the primer and adhesive may be combined so that the applied material will infiltrate the collagenous network created by conditioning to form a hybrid resin-infiltrated reinforced layer. Subsequently, applied restorative resin, when polymerized, bonds everything together. They tend to be technique and material sensitive and may require successive treatments for optimal bonding. Further, regardless of high bond strengths, which suggest good adaptation to the dentin, good bonding and the absence of leakage are not synonymous and no system provides consistent leak-free restorations.
It follows from the above discussion that the performance of an adhesive in the luting of a restoration to a tooth will be dictated by a multiplicity of factors. Ideally, laboratory bond strength test values and the resistance of luted restorations to clinical loads will be maximized when the propagating crack that causes bond failure has to travel through the adhesion zone rather than the bulk adhesive.
In other words, optimal retention is achieved when adhesion rather than the cohesive strength of the adhesive determines the overall strength of the bond [ 9 ].
Nevertheless, the mechanical properties of the luting agent often can have a marked impact on the resistance of the luted restoration to applied forces when the thickness of the cement film is markedly greater than the width of the adhesion zone, as noted by in vivo determinations of cement film thicknesses beneath restorations [ 10 ].

Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules. Water is transported in plants through both cohesive and adhesive forces; these forces pull water and the dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant.
Key Terms adhesion : The ability of a substance to stick to an unlike substance; attraction between unlike molecules cohesion : Various intermolecular forces that hold solids and liquids together; attraction between like molecules. Notice the indentation in the water around the needle. What is an example of an adhesion? An example of an adhesion is a picture sticking to the wall where it is taped.
An example of an adhesion is a person remaining true to his belief despite arguments. Adhesion is defined as the act of agreement. An example of adhesion is when a person follows the rules. What is an example of adhesive forces?
While water stuck to a glass rod is adhesive force different particles stuck together. Why is polarity important to life? Water's polarity allows it to dissolve other polar substances very easily. Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things. Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one another, which gives water a high surface tension. Why is cohesion important? Why is water called the world's greatest solvent?
Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.
