Abstract

A curable restorative composition is disclosed, comprising a polymerizable mono(meth)acrylate resin having a vapor pressure of 1 mm Hg or less at 20° C., a plasticizer; and a curing system for the mono(meth)acrylate resin. The composition is particularly useful for making temporary restorations. Methods of used and kits comprising the composition are also disclosed.

13. The curable temporary removable restorative cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer is a hydrocarbon oil, silicone oil, glycerin, glyceride, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, xathan gum, cellulose, a phthalate resin, a polyalkylene glycol, a halogenated hydrocarbon wax, a hydrogenated wax or wax ester from the reaction of a fatty alcohol and an acid, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing plasticizers.

14. The curable temporary removable restorative cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer comprises a polyethylene glycol.

15. The curable temporary removable restorative cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the mono(meth)acrylate comprises 2-(caprolactone)ethyl methacrylate and the plasticizer comprises polyethylene glycol.

16. The curable temporary removable restorative cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the curing system is a light-activated system, a self-curing two-part system, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing systems.

17. The curable temporary removable restorative cement composition of claim 16 , further comprising a heat-activated curing system, wherein the heat-cure initiators are activated by the heat of reaction generated by the light-activated polymerization process.

18. A kit for the restoration of a tooth, comprising the curable temporary restorative cement composition of claim 1 .

19. The kit of claim 18 , wherein the kit further comprises a glaze, a crown and bridge material, a clear impression material, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing materials.

20. A method of restoring a tooth, comprising

preparing a site on a tooth for restoration;
