摘要 |
The invention describes a dental composition, delivery system and method for making temporary crowns and bridges in which the composition comprises two free-radical polymerizable pastes, one a catalyst paste and the other a base paste, wherein the catalyst paste comprises at least one polymerizable monomer, at least one polymerization initiator which is a peroxide oxidizing agent, at least one first polymerization inhibitor and a filler, and wherein the base paste comprises at least one polymerizable monomer, at leat one polymerization accelerator, at least one second polymerization inhibitor, at least one non-polymerizable plasticizer and a filler. These catalyst and base pastes are stored in a dual cartridge from which they can be dispensed with a dispenser, preferably in a 1:1 volume ratio, and can be mixed in a static mixer to form a moldable polymerizing material, which is then applied to a prepared area of one or more teeth in a patient's mouth to form a crown or a bridge. The materials produced in this way have improved handling properties and exhibit a reduced oxygen inhibited layer on the surface of the cured material.
