Abstract: A syringe has a dripless feature by using an O-ring located between a conical disc and a flat plunger disc in an annular groove on a moving plunger. The flat plunger disc has a series of projections that offset the o-ring off the flat plunger disc surface when the plunger is not actuated. When the plunger is actuated, the o-ring distorts to rest on the projections and also on the surface of the flat plunger disc. When the plunger is released, the o-ring's resiliency pulls the o-ring back to its original shape which sucks back the fluid being dispensed so that no or less drips occur.

Abstract: The invention provides a divided type dental polymeric core build-up material including a first paste (A) and a second paste (B), in which each of the pastes is a paste obtained by mixing at least a (meth)acrylate monomer, a filler having a particle size distribution within a range of 0.1 through 40 ?m and an average particle diameter of 0.7 through 10 ?m, and a fine particle filler having an average particle diameter of primary particles of 0.001 through 0.050 ?m, and having a viscosity at 25° C. of 280 through 470 P, and in which one of the pastes includes an oxidant and the other includes a reductant and at least one of the pastes includes a photopolymerization catalyst. The divided type dental polymeric core build-up material of this invention has high operability in core build-up and forms a polymerically cured substance with a good mechanical property.

Abstract: There is provided a dispenser in which an operation load of a plunger is stable and contents of the dispenser do not leak out after pressing operation is interrupted.

Abstract: The invention provides a fluoride ion releasing dental composition including an inorganic powder (a); a fluoride ion releasing material (b); a monomer (c); and a polymerization initiator (d), in which the inorganic powder (a) is made of composite particles in which a layer of polysiloxane is formed on surfaces of substrate particles made of an inorganic material, and the fluoride ion releasing material (b) is at least one fluoride ion releasing material selected from the group consisting of ammonium fluoride, ammonium hydrogen fluoride, a metal fluoride, a polymer including, as a constitutional unit, a vinyl monomer having an acid fluoride group and a fluorine-containing phosphazene monomer.
