Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A powder-form dental material based on (a) aluminum-fluorosilicate glass, (b) a tin metal or a tin alloy wherein said tin alloy contains tin and a base metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, tantalum, germanium, niobium, aluminum and zinc which contains at least some of constituent (a) as a sintered mixture with constituent (b).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A powder-form dental material based on (a) aluminum-fluorosilicate glass, (b) a tin metal or a tin alloy wherein said tin alloy contains tin and a base metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, tantalum, germanium, niobium, aluminum and zinc which contains at least some of constituent (a) as a sintered mixture with constituent (b).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
A process for the preparation of the powder-form dental material of claim 1 which comprises mixing powders of (a) aluminum-fluorosilicate glass and (b) the tin metal or tin alloy, sintering the mixture obtained at >150° C., optionally after moulding into formed bodies and grinding the sintered product to a powder and optionally one or more of the following steps: mixing the powder obtained with unsintered aluminum fluorosilicate glass, dry polycarboxylic acid and/or a chelating agent, each in powder form, and thermally treating the powder again.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the sintering is carried out under pressure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A self-hardening glass-ionomer cement which comprises the powder-form dental material according to claim 1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
A self-hardening glass-ionomer cement according to claim 4 which further comprises water.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A powder-form dental material according to claim 1, further comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of dry polycarboxylic acids and chelating agents.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
85 words
A process for the preparation of the powder-form dental material of claim 6 which comprises mixing powders of (a) aluminum-fluorosilicate glass and (b) the tin metal or tin alloy, sintering the mixture obtained at >150° C., optionally after moulding into formed bodies, and grinding the sintered product to a powder and optionally one or more of the following steps: mixing the powder obtained with unsintered aluminum fluorosilicate glass, dry polycarboxylic acid and/or a chelating agent, each in powder form, and thermally treating the powder again.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process according to claim 6, wherein the sintering is carried out under pressure.
