摘要:
A method for applying and removing orthodontic brackets using an orthodontic bracket adhesive and an abrasive, without damage to tooth enamel, wherein the adhesive contains a non-toxic, inorganic filler which is insoluble in mouth fluids and has a Mohs hardness less than 4.5, and the abrasive is a non-toxic, inorganic material having a Mohs hardness greaterthan that of the adhesivefiller but less than 5.
摘要:
A cosmetic breath freshener composition having slow release comprising a multiplicity of microencapsulated liquid droplets of flavoring material contained in a carrier. The microencapsulated droplets are soluble in the saliva in the mouth to release the flavoring material. The composition can be used in conjunction with a dental adhesive particularly for use with dentures to release the flavoring material at a sustained rate for long periods of time in the mouth to mask bad breath.
摘要:
An elongate dental tool, one end of which is charged with a catalyst in a binder material, is used to mix the coreactive parts of a reactive mixture, e.g., a dental filling composition. Preferably, the charged catalyst is one part of a two-part catalyst system, and the binder is a monomeric or prepolymeric component of the reactive mixture.

Pharmaceutical compositions for use in densensitizing hypersensitive dentin or eliminating odontalgia comprise N-methacryloyl aminosalicylic acid as an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The compositions may further include a pharmaceutically acceptable unsaturated compound capable of being copolymerised with the N-methacryloyl aminosalicylic acid and a polymerization initiator.

摘要:
Dentalwerkstoffe auf Basis von organischen Kunststoffen in pastöser Form, in denen mindestens einer Phase aus fein verteilten, vernetzten Kunststoffen besteht, die zu mindestens 50 % copolymerisierte Ester der Methacrylsäure enthalten, und die zweite Phase zu mindestens 50 % aus Estern der Methacrylsäure besteht. Diese Pasten, vor allem diejenigen, bei denen die feinver teilten, vernetzten Kunststoffe Polymerisatperlen mit einer mittleren Teilchengrößen von 10 - 100 µ sind, eignen sich hervorragend als Zahnfüllmaterial.
摘要:
Compositions hardenable by exposure to heat or electro-magnetic radiation are provided by blending from about 0% to about 50% by weight of an uncrosslinked polymer, from about 20% to about 66% of a polymerizable monomer capable of dissolving said polymer, from about 10% to about 70% of a crosslinked polymer in the form of discrete particles having average diameters of from 0.001 micron to about 500 microns and being swellable by said monomer, and from about 0.25%to about 27%of a crosslinking agent for said monomer. Such compositions exhibit superior chemical and physical characteristics when hardened and are suitable in a wide variety of applications as construction media. In accordance with a preferred form of the invention, a precursor blend is formed from a mixture comprising (A) from 13 to 52 weight percent of a crosslinked polymer of an ester of a C 1 - C 6 alkyl acrylic acid and a C 1 - C 20 alkyl or cycloalkyl alcohol, said crosslinked polymer being in the form of fine particles at least 50% by weight of which have average diameters less than 150 microns; (B) from 13 to 34 weight percent of an uncrosslinked polymerized ester of a C, - C 6 alkyl acrylic acid and a C, - C 20 alkyl or cycloalkyl alcohol having an average molecular weight of from 500,000 to 900,000 g/mole; (C) from 25 to 55%by weight of a polymerizable monomeric ester of a C 1 -C6 alkyl acrylic acid and a C 1 -C 2 alkyl or cycloalkyl alcohol, which monomeric ester is capable of dissolving said uncrosslinked polymerized ester and of swelling, or interpenetrating, said crosslinked polymer particles; and (D) from 7% to 22 % by weight of a crosslinking agent for said polymerizable monomeric ester. Such precursor blends, after being aged for a time sufficient to insure that the crosslinked polymer particles have become substantially fully swollen with or interpenetrated by the mixture of monomeric ester and crosslinking agent, is especially suitable in the production of prosthetic dental appliances, such as, for example, prosthetic teeth.
摘要:
Methods for the manufacture and repair of dental appliance prostheses comprise providing a shaped metallic underlayment (14); and plating onto at least a portion of the underlayment a layer of a second metallic species (16). An amount sufficient substantially to obscure the plate layer of a polymerizable opaqueing agent (18) is then applied to the plate layer. Following polymerization of the opaqueing agent through application of heat or radiant energy, especially visible light, the layer is ideally suited for the application of dental aesthetic veneers (20) or other surfacing materials. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, an adhesion promotion species is employed either in a separate treating step for the second metallic layer or through inclusion thereof in the opaqueing agent.
