Abstract: A self-etching and self-adhesive dental composition is provided, comprising a polymerizable (meth)acrylate carboxylic acid/anhydride; a copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylate resin; a copolymerizable diluent monomer; and a curing system. The composition has the advantage of not requiring a separate etching and bonding step.
Abstract: A curable restorative composition is disclosed, comprising a polymerizable mono(meth)acrylate resin having a vapor pressure of 1 mm Hg or less at 20° C., a plasticizer; and a curing system for the mono(meth)acrylate resin.
