  • Publication number: 20050215660
    Abstract: The present invention is a polymerization initiator paste composition which comprises (A) an organoboron compound which is liquid at 25° C. and (B) particles having an average particle diameter of 0.001 to 50 ?m and inert to the organoboron compound (A), in an amount of 4 to 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the organoboron compound (A), and has a consistency, as measured at 25° C. under a load of 300 g in accordance with a method defined in ISO4823, of 15 to 100 mm. This composition constitutes a dental kit or the like together with a polymerizable monomer separately packaged. According to the present invention, an organoboron compound can be used safely, and because the composition is a paste, it is very easily utilized.

  • Patent number: 6288138
    Abstract: A kit for dental adhesive comprising a radical polymerizable monomer having an acid group in the molecule, a photosensitizer and/or a peroxide, a water-soluble organic solvent, an organic sulfinic acid and/or a salt thereof or a barbituric acid and/or a derivative thereof, and water. The kit may further comprises a radical polymerizable monomer which has no acid group and is insoluble or hardly soluble in water, an amine compound, a silane coupling agent and a 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithion derivative. By using this kit, the adhesive composition can be applied directly to a dentine without conducting a pretreatment.
