| 20080242759 | DENTAL PASTES, DENTAL ARTICLES, AND METHODS - The present invention provides a dental paste, a dental article, methods of making and using the dental paste, and compositions prepared therefrom. In one embodiment, the dental paste includes (a) a filler including porous, non-pyrogenic silica having a silane treated surface and being substantially free of heavy metals and (b) a filler including non-aggregated primary silica particles, with the fillers being dispersed in a hardenable resin. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080293846 | Dental Compositions with Surface-Treated Filler for Shelf Stability - The invention features dental compositions containing a basic filler that has been surface-treated with a strong acid to increase the shelf life of the composition. | 11-27-2008 |
| 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 |
| 20080306168 | Dental Compositions with a Water Scavenger - The present invention relates to polymerizable dental compositions that contain a water scavenger, such as a molecular sieve, to increase the shelf life of the composition. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090005469 | Dental Compositions and Initiator Systems with Polycyclic Aromatic Component - The invention features a polymerizable composition that comprises a free-radically polymerizable acidic resin, and a photoinitiator system comprising a polycyclic aromatic component. The photoinitiator system may also contain a visible light sensitizer, an iodonium salt, and a tertiary amine. | 01-01-2009 |
| 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 |
| 20090042166 | ABRASIVE TOOL INCLUDING AGGLOMERATE PARTICLES AND AN ELASTOMER, AND RELATED METHODS - Abrasive tools (particularly dental tools), and methods of using and making such tools, wherein the abrasive tools include an elastomeric binder (e.g., one prepared from a fluoroelastomer) and agglomerate particles that include an oxide matrix (preferably, silica) and abrasive particles (preferably, diamond). | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090305196 | DENTAL COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING ORGANOGELATORS, PRODUCTS, AND METHODS - A hardenable dental composition that includes a polymerizable component and an organogelator. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100016464 | DENTAL COMPOSITIONS WITH NATURAL TOOTH FLUORESCENCE - The invention features a dental composition containing a polycyclic aromatic compound, such as 2-ethyl 9,10-dimethoxy anthracene (EDMOA), in an amount that provides the composition with fluorescence mimicking that of natural teeth. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100089286 | DENTAL FILLER AND METHODS - A dental filler is disclosed. The filler is produced by admixing a metal oxide sol and a water-soluble organic binder; drying said mixed sol into a dried product; and calcining said dried product; wherein said filler is a substantially amorphous cluster. The filler can be mixed into a hardenable resin to provide radiopaque dental materials having desirable strength and aesthetic character. | 04-15-2010 |
| 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 |
