Abstract

A self etching, dental cement composition is provided having the advantage of not requiring a separate etching and bonding step. The cement composition comprises a polymerizable (meth)acrylate trimellitic acid/anhydride, a phosphoric acid (meth)acrylate, a hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate, copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylate monomers, a diluent, fillers, and a curing system. These cement compositions are prepared as a two-paste system that is combined prior to use.

Claims (46)

1. A self-etching and bonding dental resin cement composition, comprising:

a two-paste system that is combined prior to use, wherein a first catalyst paste comprises a first polymerizable resin composition, a first filler, and a peroxide free radical polymerization initiator, and wherein a second base paste comprises a second polymerizable resin, a second filler, a free radical polymerization accelerator, and optionally a photoinitiator,

wherein the first polymerizable resin composition comprises, based on 100 weight percent:

about 5 to about 50 weight percent of a polymerizable (meth)acrylate trimellitic acid/anhydride selected from 4-(meth)acryloyloxymethyltrimellitic acid; 4-(meth)acryloyloxymethyltrimellitic anhydride; 4-(meth)acryloyloxyethyltrimellitic acid; 4-(meth)acryloyloxyethyltrimellitic anhydride; 4-(meth)acryloyloxypropyltrimellitic acid; 4-(meth)acryloyloxypropyltrimellitic anhydride; or a combination thereof;

about 5 to about 20 weight percent of a phosphoric acid (meth)acrylate;

about 5 to about 25 weight percent of a hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate; and

the balance being one or more first copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates, and

wherein the second polymerizable resin composition comprises, based on 100 weight percent:

about 50 to about 95 weight percent of one or more second copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates; and

about 5 to about 50 weight percent diluent.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first polymerizable resin composition comprises about 20 to about 40 weight percent of the polymerizable (meth)acrylate trimellitic acid/anhydride.

3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the polymerizable (meth)acrylate trimellitic acid/anhydride is 4-methacryloyloxyethyltrimellitic anhydride.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first polymerizable resin composition comprises about 10 to about 15 weight percent of the phosphoric acid (meth)acrylate.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the phosphoric acid (meth)acrylate is glyceryl dimethacrylate phosphate.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first polymerizable resin composition comprises about 10 to about 20 weight percent of the hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate is 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first and second copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates are independently selected from a urethane (meth)acrylate, a urethane di(meth)acrylate; a polyurethane(meth)acrylate; a diurethane dimethacrylate; a polycarbonate di(meth)acrylate; an ethoxylated bisphenol A di(meth)acrylate; an ethoxylated trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate; a diglycidyl (meth)acrylate adduct of Bisphenol A; or a combination thereof.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates comprise tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate and/or urethane dimethacrylate.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more second copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates comprise urethane dimethacrylate, and the diluent comprises tri(ethylene glycol)dimethacrylate.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first catalyst paste further comprises a stabilizer; and wherein the second base paste further comprises the photoinitiator and an ultraviolet absorber.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the peroxide free radical polymerization initiator is benzoyl peroxide.

13. The composition of claim 12 , wherein the second base paste comprises the photoinitiator, and the free radical polymerization accelerator comprises a plurality of free radical polymerization accelerators including at least two aromatic tertiary amines and at least one aromatic sulfinic acid salt.

14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the self-etching and bonding dental resin cement composition is substantially free of added water.

15. A self-etching and bonding dental resin cement composition, comprising:

a dual-cure two-paste system that is combined prior to use, wherein a first catalyst paste comprises a first polymerizable resin composition, a first filler, and a benzoyl peroxide free radical polymerization initiator, and wherein a second base paste comprises a second polymerizable resin, a second filler, a free radical polymerization accelerator, and a photoinitiator,

wherein the first polymerizable resin composition comprises, based on 100 weight percent:

about 5 to about 50 weight percent of a polymerizable (meth)acrylate trimellitic acid/anhydride selected from 4-(meth)acryloyloxymethyltrimellitic acid; 4-(meth)acryloyloxymethyltrimellitic anhydride; 4-(meth)acryloyloxyethyltrimellitic acid; 4-(meth)acryloyloxyethyltrimellitic anhydride; 4-(meth)acryloyloxypropyltrimellitic acid; 4-(meth)acryloyloxypropyltrimellitic anhydride; or a combination thereof;

about 5 to about 20 weight percent of glyceryldimethacrylate phosphate;

about 5 to about 25 weight percent of a hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate selected from 2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate, or 4-hydroxybutyl(meth)acrylate; and

the balance being one or more first copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates selected from tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate and/or urethane dimethacrylate, and

wherein the second polymerizable resin composition comprises, based on 100 weight percent:

about 50 to about 95 weight percent of one or more second copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates; and

about 5 to about 50 weight percent diluent.

16. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the one or more second copolymerizable multi-functional (meth)acrylates comprise urethane dimethacrylate, and the diluent comprises tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate.

17. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the first catalyst paste further comprises a stabilizer; and wherein the second base paste further comprises an ultraviolet absorber.

18. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the self-etching and bonding dental resin cement composition is substantially free of added water.

19. A method of restoring a tooth, comprising:

mixing the first catalyst paste and the second base paste of claim 1 to form a self-etching and bonding dental resin cement composition;

applying the self-etching and bonding dental resin cement composition to a tooth surface or a surface of a dental restoration being bonded without the use of any additional etching or bonding step prior to the applying;

applying a dental restorative material; and
