The invention provides dental materials in paste form consisting essentially of (a) 18 to 50% by weight of a polymerizable binder, (b) 20 to 65% by weight of a crosslinked bead polymer with an average particle size of 5 to 150 .mu.m and (c) 5 to 45% by weight of glass beads with an average particle size of 5 to 80 .mu.m. The pastes of the invention are outstandingly suitable as a dental filling material.

Dental materials based on organic plastics in paste form

Polymer beads having an average bead diameter of from 5 to 500 .mu., consisting of an inorganic fine-particled filler and polymerized (meth)acrylic acid esters, and a process for their production, wherein a mixture of monomer and, optionally, polymer which is soluble in the monomer, which has a viscosity of from 0.1 to 10 Pa.s, measured at the dispersion temperature, and filler is suspended in an aqueous medium in the presence of dispersants and is polymerized.

Filler-containing bead polymers

The invention relates to thixotropic formulations of silicone pastes for the production of exact impressions of teeth and mucous membrane.

The invention includes dental materials based on organic plastics in paste form, comprising at least one phase consisting essentially of finely divided, crosslinked plastics which contain copolymerized ester(s) of methacrylic acid to the extent of at least 50% by weight, and the second phase consisting essentially of ester(s) of methacrylic acid to the extent of at least 50% by weight. The materials can be used for making prostheses, crowns, bridges, artificial teeth, dental fillings, etc.

Dental material based on crosslinked plastic and polymerizable binder

The invention relates to the provision of dental compositions containing a polymerizable (meth)acrylic acid ester of the formula Id as defined herein and includes methods for filling or repairing teeth in warm-blooded animals.

Dental compositions

The invention relates to bead polymers, useful in the provision of dental articles and made by bead polymerizing a diamine-lengthened polyurethane and a methacrylate. Also included in the invention are the dental articles made using said bead polymers.

Shaped dental articles

A two-phase bead polymer having an average bead diameter of 10 to 120.mu., and comprising (A) 88 to 99.5% by weight of a polymer of polymerized units of at least one methacrylic acid ester containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the aliphatic, saturated alcohol component, the methacrylic ester polymer, optionally, containing up to 30% by weight of copolymerized units of at least one monomer selected from acrylic acid esters containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the aliphatic saturated alcohol component, hydroxyalkyl esters of methacrylic acid containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, styrene, vinyl acetate, (meth)acrylamide, (meth)acrylic acid and/or itaconic acid, and (B) 0.5 to 12% by weight of a polyurethane.

Process for the production of bead polymers

A two-phase bead polymer having an average bead diameter of from 10.mu. to 150.mu. comprising

The invention provides impression materials for use in dentistry comprising the reaction product of (a) a diisocyanate or triisocyanate, (b) a dihydroxy compound having a molecular weight of from 300 to 10,000 and (c) an unsaturated monohydroxy compound. The invention also includes processes for preparing said impression materials.

Impression materials for dentistry

The invention includes formulated dental filling materials comprising a polymerizable organic plastics material containing inorganic fillers, which filling material comprises at least two pastes in intimate admixture with one another in a paste/paste system in which hardening is initiated by means of a peroxidic initiator and an accelerator, wherein said at least two pastes contain different inorganic fillers with different chemical constitutions such that one of said at least two pastes contains filler with a substantially higher proportion of elements with high atomic number than does the other of said at least two pastes. Also included in the invention is a dental filling pack containing said formulated dental filling materials as well as a method for their use.

Dental filling material

A pasty composition for the room temperature crosslinking and curing of a vulcanizable organopolysiloxane, comprising a crosslinking agent for an organopolysiloxane, a curing catalyst therefor, and about 3-40% by weight of the total amount of the pasty composition of active hydrophilic silica as a thickener. The pasty composition may additionally contain up to about 40% by weight of at least one inactive filler. Advantageously, the organopolysiloxane is in one tube and the pasty composition is in another; lengths of material are squeezed out in easily ascertained proportions and are mixed in the presence of water, e.g. water vapor in the atmosphere, the mixture setting to a silicone rubber.

Pasty compositions for crosslinking organopolysiloxanes to silicone

In order, when taking impressions of the upper jaw and lower jaw for dental purposes, to be able to introduce the upper-jaw tray and lower-jaw tray individually into and to remove them individually from the mouth of the patient, one of the trays is formed on the bite surface with depressions against which openings in the second tray come to rest, so that the impression compound is able to penetrate through the openings into the depressions.
