A finely divided inorganic filler material is a sintered composite which consists of larger macro-filler particles of glass and of smaller micro-filler particles of glass or ceramics partially covering the macro-filler particle and firmly connected to it by sintering. Plastic materials reinforced with the filler are distinguished by improved abrasion resistance.

Inorganic filler material with retention properties, and method and use

An artificial tooth of polymethacrylate, barium aluminum silicate glass and microfine silicon dioxide is described that imitates the natural tooth in its essential properties, namely mechanical strength and abrasion performance as well as transparency and depth of color. The tooth contains 15 to 35 weight % polymethacrylate, 35 to 75 weight % barium aluminum silicate glass with a mean particle size of from 0.1 to 5 micrometers, and 5 to 25 weight % silicon dioxide with a mean particle size of from 0.01 to 0.2 micrometers. In addition pigments necessary to match cosmetic requirements, are normally added as necessary.
