generation dentin bonding agents, HEMA (Hydroxyethylmethacrylate) is1. a hydrophilic monomer that wets the dentinal surface2. a hydrophilic resin that forms a hybrid layer by chemically reacting the intertubular dentin.3. a hydrophilic monomer that alters collagen to promote cross linking of collagen to dentin.4. a bifunctional molecule resin that copolymerizes to bis-GMA resins.a. 1,2b.

Enamel and Dentin Adhesion.The objective of this priming step is to transform the hydrophilic dentin surface into a hydrophobic andspongy state that allows the adhesive resin to wet and penetrate the exposed collagen network efficiently.2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, described as essential to the promotion of adhesion because of its excellentwetting characteristics, is found in the primers of many modern adhesive systems.2.
