Used as a reactive monomer in dental and biomedical materials, particularly in adhesive formulations for dental restorations. Its phosphate group enhances bonding to calcium in tooth enamel and dentin, while the methacrylate group enables copolymerization with other resin components. Improves durability and stability of dental composites by promoting strong adhesion and reducing degradation at the interface between the tooth and the restoration material. Also explored in bone cements and coatings for implants due to its ability to bind to mineralized tissues.
