Abstract
Abstract The compositions of this invention posses both calcium hydroxide cement characteristics and light cure characteristics and hence strong bonds are likely to form with both the tooth and conventional filling materials. There is less likelihood that a filling may fall out of a cavity. The present invention provides a two component composition which comprises a first component comprising an ethylenically polymerizable compound which contains both a salicylate group and at least one acrylate, alkacrylate, acrylamide or alkacrylamide group and second component comprising calcium hydroxide or a suitable precursor to calcium hydroxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A dental cement composition having a first component which comprises an ethylenically polymerisable compound which contains both a salicylate group and at least one acrylate, alkacrylate, acrylamide or alkacrylamide group (hereinafter referred to as an acrylosalicylate), and a second component which comprises a calcium hydroxide or a suitable precursor to calcium hydroxide, and a photosensitive catalyst the ingredients of which may be present in either or both of the first and second components.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A dental cement composition having a first component which comprises an ethylenically polymerisable compound which contains both a salicylate group and at least one acrylate, alkacrylate, acrylamide or alkacrylamide group (hereinafter referred to as an acrylosalicylate), and a second component which comprises a calcium hydroxide or a suitable precursor to calcium hydroxide, and a photosensitive catalyst the ingredients of which may be present in either or both of the first and second components.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A cement composition according to claim 1 in which the salicylate is an ester of salicylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol containing 2 to 8 hydroxy groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A cement composition according to claim 2 in which the polyhydric alcohol is a triol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A cement composition according to claim 2 in which the molar ratio of units derived from salicylic acid to units derived from the polyhydric alcohol is 0.1:1 to m:1 where m is the number of hydroxyl groups in the polyhydric alcohol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cement composition according to claim 1 in which the ratio of (alk)acrylyl groups to salicylate groups in the acrylosalicylate is 0.3:1 to 3:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
A cement composition according to claim 1 in which the alkacrylate is a methacrylate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
A cement composition according to claim 1 in which the cement contains an additional filler.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method of producing a dental lining which comprises mixing the two components of the cement composition as claimed in claim 1, applying the mixture to a tooth, allowing the composition to cement-cure and curing the mixture by irradiation having wavelength in the range 400 mμ to 600 mμ.
