摘要:
Photopolymerizable compositions that include free radically active and cationically active functional groups, and methods for polymerizing such compositions, in which the onset of cationic polymerization is controllably delayed to extend the time between formation of a moldable gel and formation of a hardened solid.
摘要:
In a first aspect, a method for treating hard tissue that includes: (a) applying to hard tissue a composition that includes a cationically active functional group, a free radically active functional group, and a polymerization initiator capable of initiating free radical polymerization, where the number of moles of cationically active functional groups per gram of composition is no greater than about 0.0075; and (b) exposing the composition to polymerization conditions to form an adhesive bonded to the hard tissue.In a second aspect, a method for treating hard tissue that includes: (a) applying to hard tissue a first polymerizable composition that includes a free radically active functional group and a polymerization initiator capable of initiating free radical polymerization, but is essentially free of polymerizable components having cationically active functional groups and is capable of forming an adhesive bonded to the hard tissue upon exposure to polymerization conditions; (b) applying a second polymerizable composition; and (c) exposing the second composition to polymerization conditions to form a hardened composition adhered to the hard tissue. The second composition includes (i) a cationically active functional group and (ii) an polymerization initiator capable of initiating cationic polymerization.
摘要:
The present invention relates to dental compositions comprising a halogenated epoxy functional ether derivative comprising at least one aryl alkyl ether moiety, at least one halogen atom attached to each aryl residue of the aryl alkyl ether moieties, at least two aliphatic epoxy moieties, no glycidyl ether structure, an initiator, optionally filler and optionally additive components selected from the group of modifiers, dyes, pigments, thixotropic agents, flow improvers, polymeric thickeners, surfactants, odorous substances, diluting agent(s) and flavorings.
摘要:
Polymerizable composition that include: (a) a cationically active functional group; (b) an initiation system capable of initiating cationic polymerization of the cationically active functional group; and (c) a filler composition that includes various radiopacifying fillers in an amount sufficient to render the polymerizable composition radiopaque. Components (a), (b), and (c) are selected such that the polymerizable composition polymerizes to form a polymerized composition having a Barcol hardness, measured using a GYZJ-935 meter, of at least 10 within 30 minutes following initiation of the cationically active functional group are a reaction temperature of 25° C.
摘要:
A polymerizable, storage-stable adhesive for adhesive precoated orthodontic appliances includes sufficient EBDA to impart to the adhesive a viscosity that will retain an orthodontic bracket in place on a vertical tooth surface during polymerization of the adhesive.
摘要:
A packaged dental article includes a dental appliance that is precoated with an adhesive. The adhesive is in contact with a flexible film having a low adhesion surface. The film is secured to a container at a location spaced from the appliance so that the film tends to peel away from the adhesive when the appliance is removed from the container in order to inhibit separation of the adhesive from the appliance. The container has a sidewall with a recess that engages a carrier to hold the container, and the carrier is flexible to permit the container to be inserted into or released from the carrier when desired.

摘要:
Disclosed is a packaged element containing a) a substrate that transmits less than about 0.5% of actinic radiation and has at least one recess, b) a cover that transmits less than about 0.5% of actinic radiation and transmits at least part of the visible light spectrum, c) a structure for maintaining the cover in contact with the substrate such that the cover filters incident radiation entering the recess, and d) an element located in the recess and having a substance thereon that is curable by exposure to the actinic radiation. Also disclosed is an article containing a) a substrate having at least one recess with an interior surface, b) an element having a tacky substance on a surface thereof, and c) a structure for positioning the element inside the recess such that the tacky substance does not separate from the element upon removal from the recess.
