PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a photochromic dental material capable of being easily distinguished from a natural tooth material on dental operations but changed into a colorless state or a state having the same color as that of the natural tooth material, after a certain period has expired, by including a specific compound. SOLUTION: This photochromic dental material contains a photochromic material, especially photochromic dye, photochromic glass, photochromic ceramic and/or photochromic glass ceramic. The photochromic dye preferably comprises a photochromic spiro[1,8aindolizine] derivative, especially a spiro[fluorene-9,1'[1,8a]-dihydroxyindolizine] derivative of the formula [X is C-R<5> (R<5> is H, CH2 =C(CH3 )-(OO<-> ), N; R<1> is H, CH3 ; R<2> is H, CH2 =C(CH3 )-COO<-> ; or R<2> , R<3> together form a ring; R<3> is H, CH3 , CN, etc.; R<4> is H, CH3 ; R<6> is COOCH3 , etc.; R<7> is COCH3 etc.]. |
