Latest Patents
Schottlander holds a patent for a polymerizable cement composition, which is particularly useful in dental and biomedical applications. 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 is conveniently formulated as a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement or a compomer composition. 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. Additionally, the invention encompasses methods for preparing the polymerizable cement and for dental treatment.
