Described herein is a dental composition containing a polymerizable compound having at least one optionally derivatized β-hydroxy urethane unit. The polymerizable compound having at least one optionally derivatized β-hydroxy urethane unit is obtained without use of organo-metal catalysts and isocyanates and by a reaction between an at least one component A having at least one cyclic carbonate group with an at least one component B having at least one of primary amine functional group and secondary amine functional group. The present disclosure relates to use of the polymerizable compound having at least one optionally derivatized β-hydroxy urethane unit for the preparation of a dental composition, in particular a dental composite, a glass ionomer, a dental cement, a dental sealant, and a dental adhesive.

Dental composition

The present invention relates to a photocurable dental composition comprising a specific polymerization initiator system containing the combination of a photoinitiator compound and a coinitiator compound being a sulfinate compound or a sulfonate compound. The present invention also relates to the use of this polymerization initiator system in a photocurable dental composition.

Photocurable dental composition

The present invention relates to a dental composition which is a resin modified dental cement composition, comprising a radically polymerizable compound and a redox initiator system comprising one or more clathrate compounds comprising a host molecule and one or more guest molecules, wherein the guest molecule is an oxidising agent selected from organic peroxides and organic hydroperoxides.

Aqueous dental glass ionomer composition

The present disclosure relates to an aqueous dental glass ionomer composition comprising a reactive particulate glass, a water-soluble, polymerizable polymer which is reactive with the particulate glass in a cement reaction, a hydrolysis-stable, water-soluble monomer having a single polymerizable double bond and optionally a carboxylic acid group or hydroxyl group; and a polymerization initiator system, wherein the polymerizable polymer is obtainable by a process comprising a step of polymerizing a mixture comprising a first polymerizable monomer comprising at least one optionally protected carboxylic acid group and a first polymerizable organic moiety, and optionally a second copolymerizable monomer comprising one or more optionally protected primary and/or secondary hydroxyl and/or amino group(s) and a second polymerizable organic moiety, for obtaining an water-soluble polymer; a step of coupling to the water-soluble polymer a compound having a polymerizable moiety and a functional group reactive with an optionally protected carboxylic acid group of repeating units derived from the first polymerizable monomer or an optionally protected hydroxyl and/or amino group of repeating units derived from the second copolymerizable monomer in the water-soluble polymer obtained in step a), wherein the optionally protected carboxylic acid group and the optionally protected hydroxyl and/or amine group are deprotected, so that polymerizable pendant groups are linked to the backbone by ester groups, urethane groups and/or amide groups, and, optionally, a step of deprotecting the protected carboxylic acid group for obtaining a polymerizable polymer.

A process for producing a water-soluble, hydrolysis-stable, polymerizable polymer, comprising a) a step of copolymerizing a mixture comprising (i) a first copolymerizable monomer comprising at least one optionally protected carboxylic acid group and a first polymerizable organic moiety, and (ii) a second copolymerizable monomer comprising one or more optionally protected primary and/or secondary amino groups and a second polymerizable organic moiety, for obtaining an amino group containing copolymer; b) a step of coupling to the amino group containing copolymer a compound having a polymerizable moiety and a functional group reactive with an amino group of repeating units derived from the second copolymerizable monomer in the amino group containing copolymer obtained in the first step wherein the optionally protected amino group is deprotected, so that polymerizable pendant groups are linked to the backbone by hydrolysis-stable linking groups, and, optionally, a step of deprotecting the protected carboxylic acid group after step (a) or step (b), for obtaining a polymerizable polymer.
