| 20080299519 | Dental Methods, Compositions, and Kits Including Acid-Sensitive Dyes - Methods and compositions including an aqueous liquid that includes an acid-sensitive dye are disclosed for use in dental and orthodontic procedures. The aqueous liquid can be useful for providing a visible color change to indicate contact with acidic materials including, for example, etching compositions, self-etching adhesives, and self-adhesive compositions. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090011388 | SELF-ETCHING DENTAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - The present invention is directed to dental compositions that can be used as adhesives for bonding a dental material to a dental structure surface and/or as a dental restorative material. The dental composition is preferably applied to a dental structure surface under conditions effective to etch the dental structure surface. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090032989 | HARDENABLE SELF-SUPPORTING STRUCTURES AND METHODS - Compositions, particularly for forming dental products, having a hardenable self-supporting structure with sufficient malleability to be subsequently customized into a second shape and then hardened, and methods. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090035728 | SELF-ETCHING EMULSION DENTAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - The present invention is directed to dental compositions that can be used as adhesives for bonding a dental material to a dental structure surface and/or as a dental restorative material. The dental composition is preferably applied to a dental structure surface under conditions effective to etch the dental structure surface. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090075239 | COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING POLYMERIZABLE BISPHOSPHONIC ACIDS AND METHODS - The present invention is directed to compositions containing one or more polymerizable bisphosphonic acids and optionally one or more additional polymerizable components. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090118389 | Hardenable dental compositions with low polymerization shrinkage - The present invention features a hardenable dental composition that contains: (1) at least one cyclic allylic compound having at least one sulfur atom in the ring, and (2) at least one at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound, such as a substituted (meth)acryloyl compound. The compositions also typically comprise an initiator system, preferably a photoinitator system containing at least 0.08 wt-% of one or more photosensitizers. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100021869 | (METH)ACRYLOYL-CONTAINING MATERIALS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS - Di-, tri-, and/or tetra-(meth)acryloyl-containing materials and compositions are provided. Such materials and compositions can preferably be hardened, without undue shrinkage, to provide hardened materials and/or compositions with properties useful, for example, in dental applications. In one aspect, the present invention provides a compound of the formula (Formula I) wherein: each X independently represents an oxygen atom (O) or a nitrogen atom (N); Y and A each independently represent an organic group, with the proviso that Y does not represent —NHCH | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100090157 | ADHESIVE COMPOSITION FOR HARD TISSUE - An adhesive composition including an etchant for a hard tissue surface, at least one multifunctional crosslinkable (meth)acrylate monomer with a functionality greater than 4, and water. The adhesive composition is a water-in-oil emulsion. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110003266 | HARDENABLE SELF-SUPPORTING STRUCTURES AND METHODS - Compositions, particularly for forming dental products, having a hardenable self-supporting structure with sufficient malleability to be subsequently customized into a second shape and then hardened, and methods. | 01-06-2011 |
