PHOTO-CURABLE REPARATIVE MATERIAL FOR DENTAL USE

摘要

A photocurable dental restorative comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a polymerizable monomer, (ii) 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator of acylphosphine oxide, and (iii) 200 to 1900 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, wherein the inorganic filler (iii) is a mixed filler of: (A) irregular-shaped inorganic particles having an average particle size of not smaller than 0.1 mu m but smaller than 1 mu m; (B) spherical inorganic particles having an average primary particle size of not smaller than 0.1 mu m but not larger than 5 mu m; and (C) fine inorganic particles having an average primary particle size of not larger than 0.1 mu m; which are so blended as to satisfy the following mass ratios 1 &cir& to 3 &cir& : 1 &cir& mA/ (mB + mC) = 0.2 to 3 2 &cir& mB/(mB + mC) = 0.5 to 0.99 3 &cir& mC/(mB + mC) = 0.01 to 0.5 where mA, mB and mC are masses of the inorganic particles (A) to (C). The restorative features excellent handling property, and makes it possible to obtain a cured product having a high fracture toughness and excellently glossy surface. <IMAGE>
