Abstract: A nonaqueous curable composition including a liquid radical polymeric monomer (a), an organic peroxide (b) and a powdered water-soluble reducing compound (c) with the powdered water-soluble reducing compound (c) dispersed in the liquid radical polymeric monomer (a) is provided. According to the nonaqueous curable composition of this invention, time necessary for adhesion can be secured, and high adhesive strength against a wetting material, and more particularly, a biological hard tissue such as a dentine can be attained, and thus, the present invention is extremely industrially valuable.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a dental cement composition which includes (a) an acid group-having polymerizable monomer, (b) a polyalkenoic acid, (c) an ion-leachable glass filler, (d) a polymerizable monomer not having an acid group, (e) water, (f) a peroxide, (g) a salt of an aromatic sulfinic acid, and (h) an aromatic secondary amine and/or an aromatic tertiary amine.

Abstract: The invention refers to a dental composition kit which comprises a combination of (A) a one-pack primer composition containing (a) an acid group-having polymerizable monomer and (b) an aromatic secondary amine and/or an aromatic tertiary amine, and (B) a cement composition containing (c) a polyalkenoic acid, (d) an ion-leachable glass filler, (e) a polymerizable monomer, (f) water, (g) a peroxide and (h) a salt of an aromatic sulfinic acid. A dental composition kit of this invention is easy to handle, and the cured product of the compositions bonds well to teeth. The kit is useful in restoring decayed or injured teeth and in bonding prostheses to teeth.
