There is provided a highly functional one-step light-curing dental adhesive composition i) based on a multifunctional prepolymer mixture of 2,2-bis-[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane ('Bis-GMA') and a multifunctional prepolymer formed by substitiuting hydrogen atoms of hydroxyl groups present in Bis-GMA molecules with methacrylate groups, in which the Bis-GMA is used as a base prepolymer of conventional dental adhesive compositions; and ii) comprising and acidic monomer for removing a portion of smear layer, which is allowed to be bonded without separate treatment of acid etchant, an adhesive monomer having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, a hydrophilic monomer which is allowed to be bonded in the present of moisture, an inorganic filler for improving mechanical properties, diluent, water for demineralization, a photoinitiation system and other additives.

Highly functional dental adhesive composition

The present invention refers to dental self-curing resin compositions having enhanced mechanical and physical properties. In particular, the present invention relates to dental self-curing resin compositions consisting of (i) a Paste A composition containing the multifunctional prepolymer mixture of 2,2-bis-[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane ('Bis-GMA') and multifunctional prepolymer formed by substituting hydrogen atoms in hydroxyl group with methacrylate groups in the Bis-GMA molecules, and further containing a diluent, an adhesive monomer, a polymerization initiator, a polymerization inhibitor, a light stabilizer, an antioxidant, an inorganic pigment and an inorganic filler; and ii) a Paste B composition containing the same prepolymer mixture in the Paste A composition, and further containing a diluent, an adhesive monomer, a reductant, a polymerization inhibitor, a light stabilizer, an antioxidant, an inorganic pigment and an inorganic filler. The composition according to the present invention has better physical and mechanical properties than that of conventional compositions and is an ointment-ointment system able to be conveniently used.

Dental self-curing resin cement compositions

A biodegradable polyester is formed by carrying out esterification and polycondensation with a carboxylic acid monomer group comprising at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing 2 to 14 carbon atoms and at least one aromatic or alicyclic carboxylic acid, and at least one glycol in the presence of a composite catalyst comprising a titanium compound, a zinc compound, an antimony compound and a phosphorous compound. The composite catalyst significantly improves the reaction rate of polyester polymerization as well as increases the production amounts of the polyester, as compared with conventional catalysts. The polyester is high in molecular weight, excellent in thermal and mechanical properties by virtue of the introduction of the aromatic or alicyclic carboxylic acid or its derivative, in addition to showing good biodegradability. This polyester can replace preexisting, expensive aliphatic polyesters.
