The invention relates to a composition which comprises

Conditioning agent for the etching of enamel lesions

The invention provides an infiltrant for dental application that comprises crosslinking monomers, having a penetration coefficient PC&#x3e;50 cm/s. In accordance with the invention the infiltrant comprises at least one nanoscale radiopaque filler and/or radiopaque organic compound, while ensuring sufficient contrast to surrounding tooth and bone tissue in X-ray diagnostics.

Radiopaque infiltrant

The invention concerns a dental filling material with dual hardening mechanism, wherein i) a first hardening mechanism is based on a photocuring reaction, preferably a radical reaction, and ii) a second hardening mechanism is dependent on HO as a reactant, especially as a ligand. Preferably, the second hardening mechanism is a gypsum-type reaction. Owing to the expansion of the composition an excellent marginal seal can be achieved, while the first hardening mechanism allows for a rapid cure on demand.
