A single-component, visible light-curable liquid adhesive composition having a viscosity of less than 25 centipoise at 25 DEG C which comprises (a) 2 to 20 parts by weight of at least one substantially pure phosphate ester having the formula CH2=C(R<1>).CO.O.R<2>.OP(O)(OH)<2> in which R<1> is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R<2> is -CH2-CH2-, -CH2-CH(CH3)- or -CH(CH3)-CH2- and (b) 98 to 80 parts by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerisable with the phosphate ester, and an effective amount of a visible light activated catalyst. The compositions may be used as liners in dental restorations and as primers for adhesives for orthodontic brackets and crowns. |
