  • Patent number: 10010488
    Abstract: A dental composition comprising a polymerizable monomer (1), initiator, filler component(s) in an amount of more than about 20 wt.-%, wt.-% with respect to the whole weight of the composition, the polymerizable monomer (1) being characterized as follows: having exactly two (meth)acrylate reactive moieties, having an unsymmetrical backbone as linkage between the (meth)acrylate reactive moieties, the two (meth)acrylate reactive moieties being attached onto the unsymmetrical monomer backbone as alkyl esters, the unsymmetrical backbone comprising one aromatic moiety of the phenolic type, the polymerizable monomer (1) not containing an acidic moiety, other atoms than carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, a bisphenol moiety. The invention is also directed to the use of the dental composition as or for producing a dental filling material, dental cement, crown and bridge material, inlay, onlay, veneer, orthodontic device or dental mill blank.

  • Patent number: 9295617
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dental composition having a) compound (A) with the following features: only one backbone unit (U) with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, at least 6 carbon atoms thereof forming an aromatic or an aliphatic cyclic moiety, the remaining carbon atoms either being part of substituents pending from the cyclic moiety or being part of bridging groups to spacer units, wherein one or more of the remaining carbon atoms can be replaced by an oxygen atom, the backbone unit not comprising a bisphenol structure, one or two spacer unit(s) (S) being connected to the backbone unit (U) via an ether linkage, at least one spacer unit (S) having a —CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH(Q)-OG chain or a —CH2-CH(OG)-CH2-OM residue or a mixture of these two types of spacers within one spacer unit, with G having at least one group selected from acroyl, methacroyl, acetyl, benzoyl, and combinations thereof, M having at least one aryl group, and combinations thereof, Q having at least one group selected from hydrogen, methyl, phenyl
