Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is a single-component dental adhesive composition which exhibits excellent adhesion to both materials of a dental ceramics and an organic composite containing an inorganic compound (hereinafter, referred to as composite material in some cases), and is excellent in can-stability.

BACKGROUND ART

In a restorative dental material, inorganic materials, and composites of inorganic-organic composite materials are used in many cases, a representative of which is a dental porcelain (main component is silicon dioxide), an alumina core, a zirconia core, and a composite. The composite is obtained by mixing an inorganic powder and a resin into a paste. Alternatively, metal materials are also used.

Previously, in adhesion of them, there was a trial to improve adhesion of a surface using a silane coupling agent, and a trial to improve adhesion of a surface using an acidic monomer. The silane coupling agent is known to improve adhesion to a material containing silicon dioxide as a main component, and the acidic monomer is known to improve adhesion to a material containing alumina and zirconia as a main component.

However, since in the dental restorative material, silica-based, alumina-based, zirconia-based and metal-based materials are used as described above, it is necessary to select an adhesive, and perform coating in conformity with an adherend.

In recent years, in order to overcome these problems, an adhesive containing both of a silane coupling agent and an acidic monomer has been sold. However, usually, since the silane coupling agent and the acidic monomer can not be preserved in the same solvent for a long period of time, two kinds of materials must be used by mixing them immediately before use.

A material which can be used regardless of a kind of an adherend, and does not need a labor such as mixing before use, has been sought.

JP-A No. 63-51308 and JP-A No. 7-277913 disclose a dental adhesive composition for adhering a dental porcelain containing silicon dioxide, and a dental restorative material such as a dental resin, a dental alloy and the like by combining a silane coupling agent and a phosphoric acid ester monomer.

However, it is difficult that the silane coupling agent and the acidic monomer coexist, and they must be mixed before use.

In addition, JP-A No. 9-137129 discloses a dental adhesive composition obtained from a coating material consisting of a coating solution containing a silane coupling agent and an acidic compound such as organic carboxylic acid and the like, and a polymerizable monomer which is coated on a coating surface of the coating solution and is polymerized in the presence of a polymerization catalyst, but since this dental adhesive composition has little adhesion to aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide, it is necessary to select an adherend.

JP-A No. 2006-45179 discloses a dental adhesive composition for adhering a dental material consisting of an inorganic compound, or an organic composite containing an inorganic compound, and a dental adhesive composition having adhesion to aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide is proposed.

However, a silane coupling agent is deteriorated by a phosphonic acid group-containing (meth)acrylate-based monomer, and it is difficult to stably exhibit the adhering effect for a long period of time. And, it is difficult that the silane coupling agent and the acidic monomer coexist, and they must be mixed before use.

JP-A No. 2006-45094 describes a two-component mixed type primer composition for improving adhesiveness by pre-treating a surface to be adhered of a prosthesis consisting of a cured dental composite material before application of the adhering material upon adhesion of a cured product of a dental composite material and a dental material. However, this adhesive has no adhesion to a porcelain, and has a primer composition such that two components must be mixed before adhesion.

JP-A No. 2000-248201 discloses a composition which exhibits sufficient adhesion to any of a base metal alloy, a noble alloy, and a ceramics, but when a silane coupling agent and an acidic group-containing polymerizable polymer are used as a single-component composition, a serious defect arises regarding can-stability of the single-component composition.

JP-A No. 2002-265312 discloses the technique of composition which exhibits sufficient adhesion to any of a tooth substance, a base metal alloy, a noble metal alloy, and a ceramics, but when a silane coupling agent and an acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer are used as a single-component composition, a serious defect arises regarding can-stability of the single-component composition.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION

By using the dental adhesive composition of the present invention, excellent adhesiveness and durability can be exhibited on both materials of a dental ceramics, and an organic composite containing an inorganic compound and, further, can-stability is excellent, and handling is simple. Particularly, adhesion on silica-based, alumina-based and zirconia-based dental materials, and non-noble metals, and inorganic organic composites is excellent.

As specific utility of the dental adhesive composition of the present invention, the composition is used in adhesion with a resin-based material when any of a dental restoration/a dental restorative material/a dental device is a dental ceramics containing silicon dioxide as a main component, a dental ceramics containing aluminum dioxide and zirconium dioxide as a main component, a resin-based material containing a ceramics or an inorganic filler, or a dental restoration made of a non-metal material, in adhesion between any of a dental restoration/a dental restorative material/a dental device.

The dental adhesive restorative material is such that a dental restorative material itself is made to have adhesiveness using the technique of the present invention. Specifically, the material is an adhesive composite resin for a facing crown or fracture restoration.

By using the dental adhesive composition of the present invention, a dentist can simply implement an adhering work without selecting an adherend. In addition, a handling method is entirely the same as that of various adhesive compositions which have been used until now. That is, although the composition is an adhesive composition having essentially entirely new function, since the using method is the same, it is easily accepted by a dentist who is a user, and is advantageous to whole dental therapy.

Since the dental adhesive composition in the present invention is a one-component adhesive composition, handling is simple. In this regard, previously, since the composition was in a two-component mixed-type merchandise form, a mixing procedure was necessary upon use, a procedure was troublesome, working was time-consuming, and many points were unknown, as whether an appropriate mixing ratio of two components is maintained, and a sufficient mixing procedure has been done or not was unclear, and a technical error was easily generated, causing a loss.

The present invention can be also used as a primer, and can be also used simultaneously with other adhesive.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

A specific embodiment in the dental adhesive composition of the present invention is a single-component dental ceramics, a dental primer of an organic composite containing an inorganic compound, a dental adhesive, and a dental adhesive restorative material. An adhesive composite resin is included in a dental adhesive restorative material, and a resin cement is included in a dental adhesive.

Particularly, high adhesiveness can be exhibited by extremely simple treatment in use as a single-component dental primer of an organic composite containing a dental ceramics, or an inorganic compound.

The dental adhesive composition of the present invention, as its aspect, is excellent in use in a dental bonding agent which is a dental adhesive, an orthodontic adhesive, a resin cement, and a dual curing-type resin cement.

In order to make condensation of a silane coupling agent and a silanol group on an adherend surface rapid, it is preferable that R2, R3 and R4 are each a lower alkoxy group of a carbon number of 1 to 5 or a hydroxy group, provided that R2 may be an alkyl group of a carbon number of 1 to 5. Specific examples of the silane coupling agent satisfying the aforementioned condition include the following:

As the polymerization initiator used in the present invention, the known compounds which are generally used in dental compositions are used without any limitation. The polymerization initiator is generally classified into a thermal polymerization initiator and a photopolymerization initiator.

As the photopolymerization initiator, a photosensitizer generating a radical by light irradiation can be used. Examples of the photosensitizer for ultraviolet ray include benzoin compounds such as benzoin, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether and the like, benzophenone-based compounds such as acetoin benzophenone, p-chlorobenzophenone, p-methoxybenzophenone and the like, and thioxanthone compounds such as thioxanthone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, 2-methylthioxanthone, 2-isopropylthioxanthone, 2-methoxythioxanthone, 2-hydroxythioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2,4-diisopropylthioxanthone and the like. In addition, since a photosensitizer which initiates polymerization with visible light does not need ultraviolet-ray which is harmful to a human body, it is suitably used. Examples thereof include a-diketones such as benzil, camphorquinone, a-naphthil, acetonaphthene, p,p′-dimethoxybenzil, dichlorobenzylacetil, pentanedione, 1,2-phenanthrenequinone, 1,4-phenanthrenequinone, 3,4-phenanthrenequinone, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, naphthoquinone and the like. Preferably, camphorquinone is used.

Alternatively, it is also preferable to use a combination of the photosensitizer with a photopolymerization promoter. Particularly, when tertiary amines are used as the photopolymerization promoter, it is more preferable to use a compound in which an aromatic group is directly substituted with a nitrogen atom. As such the photopolymerization promoter, tertiary amines such as N,N-dimethylaniline, N,N-diethylaniline, N,N-di-n-butylaniline, N,N-dibenzylaniline, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, N,N-dimethyl-m-toluidine, N,N-diethyl-p-toluidine, p-bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline, m-chloro-N,N-dimethylaniline, p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, p-dimethylaminoacetophenone, p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid, p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid ethyl ester, p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid amino ester, N,N-dimethylanthranilic acid methyl ester, N,N-dihydroxyethylaniline, N,N-dihydroxyethyl-p-toluidine, p-dimethylaminophenyl alcohol, p-dimethylaminostyrene, N,N-dimethyl-3,5-xylidine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, N,N-dimethyl-a-naphthylamine, N,N-dimethyl-β-naphthylamine, tributylamine, tripropylamine, triethylamine, N-methyldiethanolamine, N-ethyldiethanolamine, N,N-dimethylhexylamine, N,N-dimethyldodecylamine, N,N-dimethylstearylamine, N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, methacrylate, 2,2′-(n-butylimino)diethanol and the like, barbituric acids such as 5-butylbarbituric acid, 1-benzyl-5-phenylbarbituric acid and the like, and metal salts thereof such as a sodium salt, and a calcium salt, and tin compounds such as dibutyl-tin-diacetate, dibutyl-tin-dimaleate, dioctyl-tin-dimaleate, dioctyl-tin-dilaurate, dibutyl-tin-dilaurate, dioctyl-tin-diversatate, dioctyl-tin-S,S′-bis-isooctylmercaptoacetate, tetramethyl-1,3-diacetoxydistannoxane and the like can be used. Of these photopolymerization promoters, at least one kind can be selected and used, and two or more kinds may be used by mixing them. An addition amount of the initiator and the promoter can be appropriately determined.

Further, in order to improve the photopolymerization promoting ability, in addition to tertiary amine, it is effective to add oxycarboxylic acids such as citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, glycolic acid, glucuronic acid, a-oxyisobutyric acid, 2-hydroxypropanoic acid, 3-hydroxypropanoic acid, 3-hydroxybutanoic acid, 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, dimethylolpropionic acid and the like.

To specifically exemplify the thermal polymerization initiator, organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, parachlorobenzoyl peroxide, 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, tertiary butyl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-dihydroperoxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, tertiary butyl peroxybenzoate and the like, and azo compounds such as azobisisobutyronitrile, methyl azobisisobutyrate, azobiscyanovaleric acid and the like are suitably used.

Alternatively, by using the organic peroxide and an amine compound by combining them, polymerization may be performed at a normal temperature. As such the amine compound, secondary or tertiary amines in which an amine group is bound to an aryl group are more preferably used from a viewpoint of curing promotion. For example, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N,N-β-hydroxyethyl-aniline, N,N-di(β-hydroxyethyl)-aniline, N,N-di(β-hydroxyethyl)-p-toluidine, N-methyl-aniline, and N-methyl-p-toluidine are preferable.

It is also preferable to combine the combination of the organic peroxide and the amine compound, further with sulfinic acid salts or borate. Examples of such the sulfinic acid salts include sodium benzenesulfinate, lithium benzenesulfinate, sodium p-toluenesulfinate and the like. Examples of borate include a sodium salt, a lithium salt, a potassium salt, a magnesium salt, a tetrabutylammonium salt, and a tetramethylammonium salt of trialkylphenylboron, trialkyl(p-fluorophenyl)boron (alkyl group is n-butyl group, n-octyl group, n-dodecyl group etc.).

Examples 1 to 20 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 Examples of Dental Primers or Dental Adhesives

As an example of a dental ceramics material consisting of aluminum oxide or a zirconium oxide, employing an aluminum oxide plate (about 15×15×2 mm [manufactured by Japan Fine Ceramics Co., Ltd.]) and a zirconium oxide plate (about 15×15×2 mm [manufactured by Japan Fine Ceramics Co., Ltd.]), a tensile adhesion strength test was performed. An adhesive composition was prepared by mixing at a weight ratio shown in Tables 1 to 3.

A flat surface of an aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide plate of about 15×15×2 mm was polished with a No. 240, then, No. 600 silicon carbide paper [manufactured by Sankyo Rigaku Co., Ltd.] under running water to obtain a smooth surface, the smooth surface was subjected to air ablation (50 μm alumina beads, 2.5 kgf/cm2 pressure), and ultrasound-washed and air-dried to obtain an adherend. An adhesive composition was coated on an adhesive surface of the adherend with a mini-brush, this was as it was allowed to stand for 30 seconds; and dried with an air syringe to such an extent that fluidity of the adhesive composition disappeared. Separately, an adhesive surface of a cylindrical stainless bar of diameter 5 mm×height 10 mm was subjected to air ablation (50 μm alumina beads, 5 kgf/cm2 pressure) and, thereafter, the surface was ultrasound-washed and air-dried to obtain a jig for measuring an adhesion strength. Adhesion was performed while “IMPERVA DUAL” which had been uniformly kneaded into a paste intervened between an adhesive surface of the adherend and an adhesive surface of a stainless bar. Thereupon, an extra cement was removed with a mini-brush, and photopolymerization was performed for 10 seconds using “Shofu Grip Light II” in a cement margin. All seven test pieces were immersed in water at 37° C. and, after immersion in water 37° C. for 24 hours, a tensile adhesion strength was measured. For measuring an adhesion strength, a tensile adhesion strength was measured using a universal tester (manufactured by Instron) under the condition of a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. All adhesion tests were performed at room temperature of 23° C.±1° C.

Herein, a tensile adhesion strength when an adhesive composition was prepared by blending and mixing at a weight ratio shown in Tables 1 to 4, and this was brought into the sealed state, and was used under storage environment at 23° C. within 24 hours was adopted as an “initial” tensile adhesion strength. In addition, a tensile adhesion strength when an adhesive composition was prepared by blending and mixing at a weight ratio shown in Tables 1 to 4, and this was brought into the sealed state, and was used after storage for 2 months under storage environment at 50° C. was adopted as tensile strength “after 50° C. 2 months storage”.

As an example of a dental ceramics material containing silicon dioxide as a main component, a porcelain for baking a dental metal [trade name “Vintage Hello” (manufactured by Shofu)] was employed, and a disk-like (diameter 15.0×5.0 mm) fired product was prepared using a vacuum electric furnace for firing a porcelain [trade name “Twin Mat” (manufactured by Shofu)], and a tensile adhesion strength test was performed. An adhesive composition was prepared by mixing at a weight ratio shown in Tables 1 to 3.

A flat surface of a disk-like (diameter 15.0×5.0 mm) fired product was polished under running water using a No. 240, then, No. 600 silicon carbide paper [manufactured by Sankyo Rigaku Co., Ltd.] to obtain a smooth surface, and this was ultrasound-washed and air-dried to obtain an adherend. An adhesive composition was coated on an adhesive surface of the adherend with a mini-brush, and this was as it was allowed, to stand for 30 seconds, and dried with an air syringe to such an extent that fluidity of the adhesive composition disappeared. Separately, an adhesive surface of a cylindrical Cobaltan (cobalt chromium alloy: manufactured by Shofu) bar of diameter 5 mm×height 10 mm was subjected to air ablation (50 μm alumina beads, 5 kgf/cm2 pressure) and, thereafter, was ultrasound-washed and air-dried to obtain a jig for measuring an adhesion strength. Adhesion was performed while “IMPERVA DUAL” which had been uniformly kneaded into a paste intervened between an adhesive surface of an adherend and an adhesive surface of a stainless bar. Thereupon, an extra cement was removed with a mini-brush, and photopolymerization was performed for 10 seconds using “Shofu Grip Light II” in a cement margin. All seven test pieces were immersed in water at 37° C. and, after immersion in water at 37° C. for 24 hours, a tensile adhesion strength was measured. For measuring an adhesion strength, a tensile adhesion strength was measured using a universal tester (manufactured by Instron) under the condition of a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. All adhesion tests were performed at room temperature of 23° C.±1° C.

Herein, a tensile adhesion strength when an adhesive composition was prepared by blending and mixing at a weight ratio shown in Tables 1 to 4, and this was brought into the sealed state, and was used under storage environment at 23° C. within 24 hours was adopted as an “initial” tensile adhesion strength. In addition, a tensile adhesion strength when an adhesive composition was prepared by blending and mixing at a weight ratio shown in Tables 1 to 4, and this was brought into the sealed state, and was used after storage for 2 months under storage environment at 50° C. was adopted as tensile strength “after 50° C. 2 months storage”.

Regarding Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2, a blending amount of (a) the silane coupling agent was set to be 40 parts by weight, and a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer varied, in the adhesive compositions and, as apparent in comparison between Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 5, adhesion with a porcelain, or alumina or zirconia is dramatically improved by the effect of blending (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer. However, as apparent in comparison between Comparative Example 2 and Examples 1 to 5, by increasing a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer based on 100 parts by weight of (a) the silane coupling agent from 18.6 parts by weight to 24.8 parts by weight, adhesion with a porcelain after storage at 50° C. for 2 months is remarkably reduced.

In addition, as apparent from Examples 6 to 9 and Comparative Examples 3 to 4, by increasing a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer to 24.8 parts by weight, the effect of remarkably reducing adhesion with a porcelain after storage at 50° C. for 2 months does not depend on a blending amount of (a) the silane coupling agent, but is determined by a ratio between both of them.

That is, as apparent from results of Examples 1 to 11, adhesion with a porcelain, or alumina or zirconia of the adhesive composition in which a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer based on 100 parts by weight of (a) the silane coupling agent is adjusted in the range of 1.6 to 18.6 parts by weight, is dramatically improved as compared with adhesion of a composition in which no (b) acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer is blended, and storage stability when formulated into a one-component composition is also better.

In addition, as apparent from Examples 10 to 12, also in a composition in which a blending amount of (a) the silane coupling agent is further increased, adhesion with a porcelain, or alumina or zirconia of an adhesive composition in which a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer based on 100 parts by weight of (a) the silane coupling agent is adjusted in the range of 1.6 to 18.6 parts by weight is better, and storage stability when formulated into a one-component composition is also better.

As apparent from Examples 13 to 15, also in a composition in which a phosphonic acid group-containing (meth)acrylate-based monomer is used as the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer, and a blending amount of (a) the silane coupling agent is further increased, adhesion with a porcelain, or alumina or zirconia of an adhesive composition in which a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer based on 100 parts by weight of (a) the silane coupling agent is adjusted in the range of 1.6 to 18.6 parts by weight is better, and storage stability when formulated into a one-component composition is also better.

Examples 16 to 20 are an adhesive composition containing a radical polymerizable monomer and a photopolymerization initiator in the composition, and adhesion with a porcelain, or alumina or zirconia of an adhesive composition in which a blending amount of (b) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer based on 100 parts by weight of (a) the silane coupling agent is adjusted in the range of 1.6 to 18.6 parts by weight is better, and storage stability when formulated into a one-component composition is also better.
