Abstract: The invention relates to a radiation-curable radiopaque dental composition comprising a resin matrix comprising cross-linkable component(s) as Component A, ethylenically unsaturated component(s) with acidic moiety as Component B, an initiator system comprising photoinitiator(s) as Component C, reducing agent(s) as Component D, Component A containing at least two (meth)acrylate moieties and a brominated aromatic moiety selected from brominated resorcinol, catechol, tyrosol, benzoic acid, or phenol moieties. The composition can be used for producing an x-ray visible dental adhesive composition, restoration primer or dental sealant.

Abstract: The invention relates to an application device with a handle part and an application part, the application part having a surface onto which a redox initiator system is located, the redox initiator system comprising either hydrophilic oxidizing agent(s) and hydrophobic reducing agent (s), or hydrophobic oxidizing agent(s) and hydrophilic reducing agent(s). The invention also relates to a kit comprising the application device, a method of producing the application device and a method or curing a curable composition using the application device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental adhesive composition comprising ethylenically unsaturated component(s) with acidic moiety, ethylenically unsaturated component(s) without acidic moiety, water, sensitizing agent(s), reducing agent(s), a silane composition comprising (meth)acrylate functional silane(s) and amino functional silane(s). This composition is in particular useful for adhesively fixing dental restorations based on lithium disilicate and other glass ceramic materials to dental surfaces.
