Latest Patents
Amy holds a patent for a polymerizable cement composition, specifically designed for dental and biomedical uses. This composition includes a mixture of polymerizable monomer materials, comprising between 5 and 95% by weight tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA) and at least 5% by weight of a secondary monomer, preferably a dimethacrylate. The active filler material, ideally powdered fluoroaluminosilicate glass, is capable of undergoing an acid-base reaction in the presence of water with acid or acid derivative groups in the composition. The invention also encompasses a method for preparing the polymerizable cement and a method for dental treatment. The use of THFMA offers several advantages, including low shrinkage upon polymerization, good biological acceptability, and favorable water uptake properties compared to other monomer systems.
