Dental adhesive agent for high-performance polymers
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method for the production of an adhesive bond between (a) the surface of dental subframes based on high-performance polymers, and (b) dental composites, by A at least creating retentive anchoring by means of mechanical pre-treatment of the surface of each subframe; B application of a low viscous, or free-flowing adhesive agent containing a monomer mixture of polymethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, at least one bifunctional methacrylate-based cross-linking monomer, initiator(s), and optionally stabilizers and other additives, including (i) wetting of the surface, (ii) penetration into the depressions which are present, and (iii) formation of a dispersion layer or a film; C at least partially curing the dispersion layer or the film in step B; and D applying a dental composite or an opaque onto the product in step C.
1. A method for the production of an adhesive bond between (a) the surface of dental subframes based on polymers comprising polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether ketone ketone (PEKK), polyoxymethylene (POM), and/or polyamide and (b) dental composites, by
A at least creating retentive anchoring by means of mechanical pre-treatment of the surface of each subframe; wherein the mechanical treatment is carried out by sandblasting;
B application of a low viscous, or free-flowing adhesive agent containing a monomer mixture of polymethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, at least one bifunctional methacrylate-based cross-linking monomer, initiator(s), and optionally stabilizers and other additives, wherein the adhesive agent has no solvent and, wherein the adhesive agent has a viscosity of 10-30 mPas at 23° C.,
including
(i) wetting of the surface,
(ii) penetration into the retentive anchoring, and
(iii) formation of a dispersion layer or a film;
C at least partially curing the dispersion layer or the film in step B; and
D applying a dental composite or an opaque onto the cured dispersion or film in step C.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent contains UDMA (urethane dimethacrylate), MMA (methyl methacrylate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), photoinitiator(s), and stabilizer(s).
3. A method according to claim 2 , wherein the PMMA is present partially dissolved in MMA.
4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent contains a means for adjusting the viscosity.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent contains fine precipitated silica or fumed silica.
6. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the sandblasting is carried out with 110 μm corundum.
7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent additionally contains inorganic pigments.
8. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the application of dental composite or opaque in D occurs in multiple layers.
9. A method according to claim 1 , wherein no waiting time is observed between C and D.
