Abstract

The invention relates to dental materials which contain hydrolysis-resistant phosphonic acids with ethylenically unsaturated double bonds and which are especially suitable for use as adhesion promoters.

Claims (35)

1. A dental material, characterized in that it comprises one or more phosphonic acids with the following structure and/or salts of these acids:

in which R, R 7 and p are, independently of one another: either:

a) R: alkyl group or alkylene group with at least 6 C-atoms or aryl group,

R 7 : H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or butyl,

p is 1 or 2; or:

b) R: —CO—NR 1 —R 8 —

with R 1 equal to H, alkyl or aryl,

with R 8 equal to an alkylene group or a branched alkyl group with 4 to 18 C-atoms

or R 8 is C n H 2n —Si(R 5 ) 2 —[O—Si(R 5 ) 2 ] m —C n H 2n in which 3≦n≦12, 1≦m≦10, and

R 5 is methyl, ethyl or phenyl,

or R 8 is C n H 2n —COONH—C n H 2n in which 4≦n≦12, and in which R 8 can have ether or additional urethane groups,

R 7 : H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, or butyl,

p is 1 or 2; or:

c) R:

with R 10 , chosen from the group consisting of aryl groups, alkyl groups with at least 3 C-atoms or polyether groups with 1 to 10 polyether units and with R 11 chosen, identically or differently, from the group consisting of alkyl groups and aryl groups,

with X equal to N, B or CH,

R 7 : COOR 9 , CONHR 9 , H or phenyl with R 9 chosen from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl and butyl,

p is equal to 2.

2. The dental material as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the phosphonic acids have the following structure:

in which R 2 is an alkylene group or a branched alkyl group with 4 to 18 C-atoms, and R 1 is alkyl, aryl or H.

3. The dental material, characterized in that it comprises one or more phosphonic acids with the following structure and/or salts of these acids:

in which R 3 and R 4 , which are identical or different, are aryl or alkyl having from 3 to 12 C-atoms; and substituents R 5 , which are identical or different, are methyl, ethyl or phenyl, and m is 1 to 10.

4. A dental material, characterized in that it comprises one or more phosphonic acids with the following structure and/or salts of these acids:

in which:

X is N, B or CH, and

R 6 is a straight or branched alkyl group with at least 3 C-atoms, an aryl group or a polyether group with 1 to 10 polyether units, and Y comprises ethylenically unsaturated double bonds.

5. The dental material as claimed in one of claims 1 to 4 , characterized in that it additionally comprises solvents.

6. The dental material as claimed in claim 5 , characterized in that the solvent is chosen from the group consisting of water, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetone, ethyl methyl ketone and ethyl acetate.

7. The dental material as claimed in one of claims 1 to 4 , characterized in that it comprises salts of the phosphonic acids.

8. The dental material as claimed in one of claims 1 to 4 , characterized in that it additionally comprises acrylates or methacrylates.

9. The dental material as claimed in one of claims 1 to 4 , characterized in that it additionally comprises fillers.

10. The dental material as claimed in one of claims 1 to 4 , characterized in that it additionally comprises polymerization initiators.

11. An adhesion promoter comprising the dental material as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said fillers comprise less than 20% by weight.

12. A compomer or polymerizable cement comprising the dental material as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said fillers comprise between 40 and 80% by weight.

13. The dental material as claimed in claim 4 , wherein Y is chosen from the group consisting of CH 2 ═CH—O—, styrene, methacrylamide, and CH 2 ═C(COOR 12 )—CH 2 —, in which R 12 is H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or butyl.
