Patent number: 5756559Abstract: A composition and method of treating a dental tooth surface and adhering a restorative material to the treated dental tooth surface is provided. A liquid composition is applied to at least the portion of the tooth to form a treated surface. The composition includes at least 50 percent by weight of a volatile organic solvent, at least 15 percent by weight of one or more polymerizable acrylate compounds and an effective amount of a photoinitiator. At least a portion of the polymerizable compounds are multifunctional polymerizable compounds having at least three acrylate moieties. The polymerizable compounds are substantially soluble in the solvent. The composition is adapted to form a polymeric material which is adapted to adhere to dentin with a bond strength of at least 12 Mpa. Restorative material is then adhered to the treated surface with a bond strength of at least about 12 MPa.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1996Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Dentsply Research & DevelopmentInventors: Gordon Blackwell, Chin-Teh Huang

Patent number: 5645429Abstract: A method is provided for clinical retention of restorative material by a natural tooth. A first portion of photopolymerizable liquid primer/adhesive dental composition is applied to a tooth surface. After leaving the first portion of the liquid composition on the tooth surface undisturbed for at least 15 seconds on the tooth surface air is conveyed against the first portion of the liquid. The light is impinged on the first portion of the liquid composition whereby at least a portion of the first portion of the liquid composition polymerizes to form a first coating on the tooth. A second portion of the liquid composition is applied to the first coating, and air is substantially immediately conveyed to the second portion of the liquid composition.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1996Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Dentsply Research & Development Corp.Inventors: Gordon Blackwell, Chin-Teh Huang, Steven Jefferies

Patent number: 5367002Abstract: The invention provides dental composite compositions formed by mixing a curable liquid composition with a powder in preselected proportions. The composite compositions formed are useful as cement, liner, base, restorative, pit and fissure sealants, and/or core build-up material, etc. having improved adhesion to dentin. These composite compositions include polyalkenoic acid, filler which provides elutable cations which are reactive with the polyalkenoic acid and fluoride ion, water to provide for elution of cations reactive with polyalkenoic acid, polymerizable monomer and/or prepolymer composition, unsaturated organic acid having 1 or more polymerizable groups and a catalyst system for polymerization. Optionally the composites include inert reinforcing filler for strength, aesthetics, and radiopacity.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1992Date of Patent: November 22, 1994Assignee: Dentsply Research & Development Corp.Inventors: Chin-Teh Huang, Paul D. Hammesfahr, Steven R. Jefferies
