Abstract: A self-curing or dual-curing, low viscosity composite is used for the fabrication of a dental liner capable of polymerization in 2 stages with 2 curing times and delayed polymerization characteristics that is designed for use at the cavity wall in the form of a thin layer.

Abstract: Light-curing, self-etching one-component dental adhesives containing at least one acrylate or methacrylate monomer, at least one acidic component, at least one photoinitiator, at least one solvent that is miscible with water, water, and non-agglomerated SiO2 having a particle size of 5-100 nm, are suitable, for example, for the adhesive attachment of direct filling materials, or in combination with an additional neutralizing layer and a fastening cement, for the attachment of indirect, laboratory-produced filling materials.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula I R113 O—CO—C(?CHR)-Y—O-Q(AH)n ??(I) where A stands for a —CO2— or —SO3— group which together with H+ yields AH, Q represents C1-12alkylene, C4-12alkylene interrupted by —O—, >N—, or —S—, or, in given cases, C6-15arylene substituted with C1-4alkyl, C1-4alkoxy or halogen, where in the case of arylene the aryl groups can carry additional acid groups A, Y stands for C1-12alkylene or C4-12alkylene interrupted by —O—, >N—, or —S—, R represents methyl or H, R1 is C1-6alkyl, and n assumes the values 1, 2, or 3 are particularly suitable for the production of self-etching dental adhesives.
