CALCIUM AND FLUORINE IONS RELEASING DENTAL COMPOSITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18556736 titled 'CALCIUM AND FLUORINE IONS RELEASING DENTAL COMPOSITION
The invention is a dental composition containing polymerizable components, an initiator for curing the components, a Ca-ions releasing component, and a F-ions releasing component.
- The Ca-ions releasing component releases 400 to 700 mg/l of Ca-ions, while the F-ions releasing component releases 1,500 to 3,500 mg/l of F-ions.
- The dental composition can be used to remineralize a defect tooth by fixing a dental restoration to the tooth's surface.
- The kit of parts includes dental adhesive, dental milling block, and prefabricated dental crown for use with the dental composition.
Potential Applications: - Restoring and remineralizing damaged teeth - Dental crown and bridge procedures - Preventing tooth decay and cavities
Problems Solved: - Addressing tooth decay and enamel erosion - Providing a solution for damaged or weakened teeth
Benefits: - Enhanced remineralization of teeth - Improved durability and strength of dental restorations - Prevention of further tooth decay
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Dental Composition for Restorative Procedures This technology can be used in dental clinics, orthodontic practices, and dental laboratories for various restorative procedures, including fillings, crowns, and bridges.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the Ca-ions releasing component contribute to the remineralization process? 2. What are the advantages of using a dental composition with F-ions releasing capability for restorative procedures?
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to a dental composition comprising polymerizable components, an initiator suitable for curing the polymerizable components, a Ca-ions releasing component having a Ca-ions releasing capability of 400 to 700 mg/l (ppm) if 2.5 g Ca-ions releasing component is steered in 50 ml de-ionized water having a pH of 2 for 24 hours; a F-ions releasing component having a F-ions releasing capability of 1,500 to 3,500 mg/l (ppm) if 2.5 g F-ions releasing component is steered in 50 ml de-ionized water having a pH of 7 for 24 hours. The invention also relates to a kit of parts comprising such a dental composition according and the following items alone or in combination: dental adhesive, dental milling block, prefabricated dental crown. The dental composition is suitable for use in a process of remineralizing a defect tooth in the mouth of a mammal, the process comprising the step of fixing a dental restoration to the surface of the defect tooth with the dental composition.
