  • Patent number: 6217644
    Abstract: A dental adhesive set is disclosed, comprising (I) a tooth surface conditioning agent and (II) a bonding material, wherein the tooth surface conditioning agent (I) is an acid aqueous solution, and the bonding material (II) comprises a mixture of: (a) a fluoroalumino silicate glass powder, (b) one or two or more unsaturated organic compounds selected from polymerizable unsaturated organic compounds having at least one CH2═CR1—COO—, wherein R1 is H or CH3, and not having an acid group; (c) an acid; (d) water; and (e) a photopolymerization catalyst. According to the dental adhesive set of the present invention, the dental restoration and the dentin can be firmly and surely adhered to each other in a clinically simple operation, and by imparting properties for continuously releasing a fluoride ion not only the dentinal restoration but also the reinforcement of tooth structure and the inhibition of secondary caries can be expected.
