Abstract:
The invention relates to a process of taking a dental impression, the process comprising the steps of providing a radiation-curable dental impression composition, placing the radiation-curable dental impression composition in contact with dental tissue, applying radiation to the radiation-curable dental impression composition, letting the radiation-curable dental impression composition cure, removing the cured dental impression composition from the dental tissue, the radiation-curable dental impression composition comprising mercapto-functional polyorganosiloxane(s), VQM resin(s), photo-initiator(s) for initiating a curing reaction between, and optionally filler(s). The invention also relates to a cured dental impression obtained by radiation curing the radiation-curable dental impression composition, a kit of parts containing the radiation-curable dental impression composition and a dental impression tray filled with the radiation-curable dental impression composition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process of processing a radiation-curable composition with an additive-manufacturing technique comprising a radiation-curing step, the radiation-curable composition comprising mercapto-functional Component A comprising at least three mercapto moieties, crosslinker Component B with at least three vinyl or allyl moieties, photo-initiator(s) Component C for initiating a curing reaction between Component A and Component B, wherein the radiation-curable composition does not comprise urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers in an amount of more than 4 wt. % with respect to the whole composition. 3-dim articles which can be produced are typically transparent and have adequate mechanical properties. The radiation-curable composition is in particular useful for producing clear-tray aligners for dental and orthodontic purposes.
Abstract:
