Abstract
At the beginning of the 90 s on the market of dental restoration materials appeared compomers, polyacid modified composite resins (PMC). The term compomer suggests a combination of glass-ionomer and composite technology. This has led to confusion about how it relates to dental structures. The properties and adhesion of compomers to dental structures suggest a closer connection with composites than with glass ionomers. They do not have direct chemical adhesion to any tooth structure it adheres similar to the composites through a separate binding agent. However, their proximity to composites does not make them substitutes of composites. Compomers are a versatile class of dental restorative biomaterials, whose clinical benefits are particularly useful in pediatric dentistry.
