  • Patent number: 6245828
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to polymerizable dental compositions containing a) 3 to 80 wt. % of cycloaliphatic epoxides; b) 0 to 80 wt. % of an epoxide or a mixture of epoxides which are different from a); c) 3 to 85 wt. % of a filer material; d) 0.01 to 25 wt. % of initiators, inhibitors and/or accelerators; e) 0 to 25 wt. % of auxiliary agents, the individual percentages of which are in relation to the total weight. The new polymerizable agents are particularly suited as dental material.

  • Patent number: 6084004
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions which undergo cationic curing with visible light, comprising:(a) 0.01 to 8 wt. % of at least one diaryliodonium compound,(b) 0.01 to 8 wt. % of at least one .alpha.-dicarbonyl compound,(c) 10.0 to 99.9 wt. % of at least one compound containing epoxide groups and/or oxetane groups,(d) 0 to 85 wt. % of modifiers, such as fillers, dyestuffs, pigments, flow improvers, thixotropic agents, polymeric thickeners, additives having an oxidizing action, stabilizers and retardants, characterized in that they additionally comprise(e) 0.001 to 5 wt. % of at least one aromatic amine.The compositions have a low intrinsic color, cure with little smell and, after curing, give compositions with very good mechanical properties.
