The present application provides dental fillers, and methods of making and using dental fillers that include a treated surface that includes a phosphate salt. Dental compositions including such dental fillers can be useful for delivering ions to the oral environment. Dental compositions, and methods of using dental compositions that include a phosphate salt and a hardenable resin or a water-dispersible, polymeric film former are also provided.

Dental fillers and compositions including phosphate salts

Methods of using a dental composition having a photobleachable dye and an acidic component with a pKa of less than 4.5 are disclosed. The photobleachable dye is selected from the group consisting of aminoanthraquinone dyes, azo dyes, and combinations thereof. The aged color of the dental composition is substantially the same as the color of the dental composition immediately after hardening.

Methods of using a dental composition having an acidic component and a photobleachable dye

Some embodiments of a system or method for applying a barrier composition to a targeted skin surface can be used to as a preventative measure to reduce the likelihood of transmission of microbial entities from an external source (e.g., a floor surface or another surface) to the targeted skin surface.

Medical delivery devices and methods for applying a barrier composition to a targeted skin surface

The present application provides a glass composition comprising 10-50% by weight CaO, at least 15% and less than 50% by weight PO, less than 3% by weight AlO, less than 10% by weight LiO, NaO, and KO combined, and 0-60% by weight of SrO, MgO, BaO, ZnO, or combinations thereof; dental compositions comprising the glass composition, and methods of making and using such dental compositions.

Dental compositions with calcium phosphorus releasing glass

The present application provides dental fillers, and methods of making and using dental fillers that include a treated surface that includes phosphorus and a divalent cation. Dental compositions including such dental fillers can be useful for delivering ions to the oral environment.

Dental fillers including a phosphorus-containing surface treatment, and compositions and methods thereof

Calcium phosphate particles are described comprising a surface treatment wherein the surface treatment comprises at least one sugar alcohol. Also described are various oral care compositions comprising surface treated calcium phosphate particles and methods of surface treating calcium phosphate particles.

Surface-treated calcium phosphate particles suitable for oral care and dental compositions

A digital painting process provides computer-controlled finishing of dental articles. The process can selectively apply different materials over portions of a dental article in one or more layers to achieve a multi-chromatic finish having a variety of colors, finishes, and surface properties that closely match the appearance and function of human dentition.

Digitally-painted dental articles

Polymerizable isocyanurate monomers and dental compositions are described. A hardenable dental composition is described comprising at least one isocyanurate monomer that is a stable liquid at about 25&#xb0; C. The isocyanurate monomer comprises at least one divalent linking group bonded to a nitrogen atom of a trivalent isocyanuric acid ring, wherein the divalent linking group comprises a moiety selected from ester, thioester, ether, or thioether, and combinations of such moieties and a terminal ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable group.

Polymerizable isocyanurate monomers and dental compositions

By capturing a highly detailed three-dimensional digital model of dentition, a suitable replacement dental article be fabricated with a combination of digitally-controlled reductive processes such as milling and digitally-controlled additive processes such as digital painting. A dental article so-manufactured can provide an aesthetically pleasing, multi-chromatic appearance that closely matches surrounding dentition.

Fabrication of dental articles using digitally-controlled reductive and digitally-controlled additive processes

Presently described are methods of surface treating inorganic oxide particles, hardenable (e.g. dental) compositions comprising a polymerizable resin composition and surface treated particles, as well as surface treated (e.g. nanocluster) inorganic oxide particles, and silane surface treatment compounds. In one embodiment, the method comprises forming a surface treatment compound by reacting a first functional group of a (meth)acrylate monomer having a molecular weight of at least 350 g/mole with a second functional group of a silane compound wherein the first and second functional group react to form a covalent bond; and combining the surface treatment compound with inorganic oxide particles.

Method of surface treating inorganic oxide particles, hardenable dental compositions, surface treated particles, and surface treatment compounds

Hardenable compositions are described comprising at least one multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate monomer and at least one multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated tricyclodecane monomer. In favored embodiments, the compositions further comprise filler and are suitable dental restorations.
