Abstract: This invention relates to polymerizable compositions comprising a salt of a barbituric acid derivative. The compositions are typically shelf-life stable and may be polymerized through mixing of an acidic component with the salt of a barbituric acid derivative.

Abstract: The invention includes a piston having a piston body (1) and front seal for sealing the gap between the side wall of the piston body and the wall of a chamber within which the piston and a material are disposed in a conventional manner. The front seal (5) has a leading edge (6) included angle (A) as defined below, and a trailing edge (7) included angle (B) that is smaller than the leading edge included angle. By the appropriate selection of these two angles, the force required to move the piston (and thus the material) is optimized, the force required to move the piston (and thus the material) is optimized, which results in a more useful dispenser than conventional syringe-type dispensers. These and other features of the present invention are described in greater detail below.

Abstract: The invention relates to adhesive compositions that exhibit a significant decrease in polarity upon polymerization. More specifically, it relates to curable self etching dental adhesive compositions that can be applied to the tooth hard substance in one step and exhibit this decrease in polarity upon curing. In this respect a formulation is provided combining phosphoric acid esters bearing substituents with one ethylenically unsaturated moiety on the phosphorus atom and phosphoric acid esters bearing substituents with two or more ethylenically unsaturated moieties on the phosphorus atom.

Abstract: The invention relates to a receptacle with a plunger, which is displaceably arranged therein. The plunger comprises a plunger body with a flat face, whereby at least two encircling sealing lips are shaped onto the plunger body. Each sealing lip has slot-shaped notches at at least one location that, as soon as the plunger is inserted into the receptacle, permit a gas exchange between the inside of the receptacle and the outside atmosphere. The invention also relates to the use of the receptacle and of the plunger for storing and discharging, in particular, dental materials.

Abstract: A device for storing and applying material, especially dental material, comprises a first zone comprising a first and a second film that define at least one first chamber that receives a first substance, and a pouch separated from the chamber for withdrawing the first substance. The separation between the pouch and the first chamber is provided with a through opening that can be selectively opened. The device further comprises a second zone with a second chamber that is not linked with the first section by way of a through opening that can be selectively opened.
