摘要：INTRODUCTION: Adhesive dentistry is a swiftly emerging revolutionary branch in the modern dental field. It basically functions by lessened reliance on the traditional mechanical factors like undercuts for retention. The term ‘Adhesion’ is derived from the Latin word and refers to the condition by which two surfaces hold on to each other by interfacial forces (Valence forces or interlocking forces). Bonding agents are materials of low viscosity that form a thin layer of film after being applied on the tooth surface. Dentin bonding involves 2 steps: 1. Conditioning of dentine, 2. Priming of dentin. AIM: To analyse the knowledge and awareness on dentin bonding agents among dental students. MATERIALS AND METHODS A well-framed questionnaire containing 10 self-structured questions was formed and circulated among 100 dental students through online google forms link. The results were collected, tabulated, and statistically analyzed using SPSS Software. Chi square test was done to assess the P value. RESULTS: Pearson’s Chi square test shows that p value < 0.05, which is considered as significant. Males were more aware than females regarding dentin bonding agents. CONCLUSION: From this study, it is evident that there exists higher knowledge and awareness regarding the dentin bonding agents among the dental students. In future, this study can be extended to create more awareness regarding the dentin bonding agents.
