Development of elastomeric polyurethane resins for use as adhesive liners under composite restorative materials is reviewed. The elastic nature of these adhesive films appears to provide a marginal seal despite dimensional changes of the restorative material. Adhesive strengths of 1,500 psi to enamel have been maintained after thermal cycling and after storage for one year in water.
