The invention relates to a dental composition having a) compound (A) with the following features: only one backbone unit (U) with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, at least 6 carbon atoms thereof forming an aromatic or an aliphatic cyclic moiety, the remaining carbon atoms either being part of substituents pending from the cyclic moiety or being part of bridging groups to spacer units, wherein one or more of the remaining carbon atoms can be replaced by an oxygen atom, the backbone unit not comprising a bisphenol structure,one or two spacer unit(s) (S) being connected to the backbone unit (U) via an ether linkage, at least one spacer unit (S) having a &#x2014;CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH(Q)-OG chain or a &#x2014;CH2-CH(OG)-CH2-OM residue or a mixture of these two types of spacers within one spacer unit,with G having at least one group selected from acroyl, methacroyl, acetyl, benzoyl, and combinations thereof, M having at least one aryl group, and combinations thereof, Q having at least one group selected from hydrogen, methyl, phenyl, phenoxymethyl, and combinations thereof,b) filler (B) and c) initiator (C).

Dental composition, method of producing and use thereof

The invention relates to a dental composition for detecting bacteria comprising a solvent, at least one electron acceptor component and at least one electron donor component, the composition being substantially free of components which enable or facilitate the electron transmission between the electron acceptor component and the electron donor component. The invention also relates to a kit of parts and the use of the dental composition for producing a means for the inter-oral detection of bacteria.

Dental composition for detecting bacteria, kit of parts and use thereof

The present invention provides self-adhesive compositions that include a plurality of acidic compounds. The self-adhesive compositions are useful for applications including, for example, restoring dental structures and adhering orthodontic appliances to teeth.

Self-adhesive compositions including a plurality of acidic compounds

The invention relates to a dental composition comprising a) a compound (A) with the following features: only one backbone unit (U) with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, at least 6 carbon atoms thereof forming an aromatic or an aliphatic cyclic moiety, the remaining carbon atoms either being part of substituents pending from the cyclic moiety or being part of bridging groups to spacer units, wherein one or more of the remaining carbon atoms can be replaced by an oxygen atom, the backbone unit not comprising a bisphenol structure and halogen atoms, one or two unit(s) (S) being connected to the backbone unit (U) via an ether linkage, at least one unit (S) comprising a &#x2014;CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O&#x2014;CH2-CH(Q)-OG moiety or a &#x2014;CH2-CH(OG)-CH2-OM moiety or a mixture of these two types of moieties within one unit (S), with G comprising at least one polymerizable moiety and an urethane moiety, the urethane moiety acting as connecting element to unit(s) (S), and M comprising at least one group selected from acroyl, methacroyl, aryl, mixtures and combinations thereof, Q comprising at least one group selected from hydrogen, methyl, phenyl, phenoxymethyl, mixtures and combinations thereof, and with the proviso that onto the backbone unit (U) at least two substituents are attached, each bearing at least one group G, wherein in the case where only one unit (S) is present, the group G not being part of said unit (S) is located in the further substituent pending from unit (U), b) a filler (B) and c) an initiator (C).

Dental composition, kit of parts and use thereof

The invention relates to a composition which is polymerizable by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) comprising at least one monomer that is polymerizable by ROMP, at least one initiator of the Hoveyda-Grubbs type for initiating the ROMP and at least one retarder selected from the group consisting of heterocyclic a means having a ring with at least one N-atom and four or less other atoms constituting the ring bearing the at least one N-atom. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of a composition which is polymerizable by ROMP, a dental material obtainable by polymerizing a composition according to the invention and the use of a substance selected from the group consisting of heterocyclic amines having a ring with at least one N-atom and five or less atoms constituting the ring bearing the at least one N-atom or of a mixture of two or more of such substances as a retarder in ROMP.

Compositions curable by ring opening metathesis polymerization at low temperatures and their application in the dental field

The invention describes solid materials, especially for dental purposes like, e.g., composite milling blocks (CMBs), which can be obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Also described is a method for obtaining such milling blocks, their use and applications of the compositions.

Solid materials obtainable by ring-opening metathesis polymerization

The invention relates to a composition which is self-adhesive to the hard tooth tissue, comprising: (A) 5 to 75 percent by weight of one or more mono or higher functional ethylenically unsaturated compounds which additionally have an acid functional group, wherein one of said compounds has a P&#x2014;OH group, for instance a phosphoric, phosphonic or phosphinic acid group; (B) 2 to 50 percent by weight of one or more mono or higher functional ethylenically unsaturated compounds without any acid functional group; (C) 22.8 to 85 percent by weight of filling material(s), comprising at least one filling material that may react with component (A) in the sense of causing a ion exchange, neutralization, salt formation and/or chelate formation reaction; (D) 0.1 to 8 percent by weight of one or more initiators and optionally activators; (E) 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of further additives, for example, modifiers, wherein the weight ration in % of component (A) relative to component (B) ranges from 21 to 90: 10 to 79.
