  • Patent number: 11737957
    Abstract: A dental curable composition capable of use as a dental material that can substitute part or all of a natural tooth, in particular, a resin material for dental cutting and machining in the field of dental care. When a block shape usable as the resin material is produced, while mechanical properties and aesthetic properties required for a crown prosthetic appliance are maintained, the dental curable composition can be molded and processed with pressure and heating while strain generated in the block is reduced and no cracks and chipping occur. The dental curable composition includes (a) a polymerizable monomer and (b) a filler in a weight ratio of 10:90 to 70:30, and 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of (c) a polymerization initiator and 0.001 to 1 part by weight of (d) a chain transfer agent being a terpenoid compound based on 100 parts by weight of the polymerizable monomer (a).

  • Patent number: 11284976
    Abstract: To provide a pair of maxillary and mandibular coupled artificial tooth sets applicable to alveolar ridge shapes of an unspecified large number of edentulous patients and having all the parts of 14 teeth coupled into an ideal arch shape and in an ideal maxillomandibular occlusal contact relationship. The present invention provides a pair of maxillary and mandibular coupled artificial tooth sets clearly defining an arrangement region of all parts at the time of arrangement in virtual three-dimensional coordinates, a contact relationship between maxillary and mandibular artificial teeth, and a harmonizing contact/gliding relationship at the time of movement on a mean-value articulator. This enables provision of a high-quality complete denture in which an occlusal relationship required for a complete denture can be established in a short time regardless of a skill of a technician and a difference in shape of an alveolar ridge of an edentulous patient.

  • Patent number: 10149802
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a deagglomerated glass filler for sustained ion release for imparting ion sustained-release property to a dental material for use in the dental field. The dental material means a material for use in filling, prosthetic repair, temporary sealing, temporary bonding, preparation of a prosthetic appliance, adhesion/luting, pit and fissure sealing, or the like in a dental treatment. A glass filler for sustained ion release that sufficiently continuously releases a metal ion present in a glass composition as compared with a conventional glass filler for sustained ion release has been demanded in the field of a dental material. Such an object is achieved by a glass filler for sustained ion release that is obtained by performing a silane compound treatment step and an acidic polymer treatment step and that is controlled to satisfy a specific D50 particle size relationship in each of the steps.
