  • Polymerizable dental material
    Patent number: 5228907
    Abstract: Radiopaque, abrasion-resistant tooth fillings and inlays that can be polished to a high gloss can be made from a dental material that, in addition to monomeric dimethacrylates, contains a filler mixture of 80 to 90 weight % barium aluminum silicate glass, having a mean particle size of 0.5 to 1.5 .mu.m, and 10 to 20 % weight silicon dioxide, having a mean particle size of 0.04 to 0.06 .mu.m. The dental material is also suitable for anchoring dental prostheses.

  • Adhesion-promoting dental composition
    Patent number: 5089051
    Abstract: Adhesion promoters containing (meth)acryloyloxyethyl dihydrogen phosphate and/or di(meth)acryloyloxyethyl hydrogen phosphate and acidic (meth)acryloyloxyethyl esters of carboxylic acids can improve the adhesion of photopolymerizable tooth materials to the enamel and dentine. The very strong bonding to the dentine immediately after curing proves to be particularly advantageous.
