Benefits of technology

[0010]Compositions according to preferred embodiments, in which olefinic polymers are used as additives to acrylic polymers, provide more flexible and impact-resistant acrylate polymers suitable for a variety of uses, particularly those related to medical and dental fields. Preferred compositions also effectively address the reducing or eliminating of the oxygen-inhibited layer and / or reducing the exothermic effect of the polymerization process.
[0011]Another advantage of polymers in accordance with preferred embodiments, particularly important in medical and dental applications, is their general lack of toxicity as well as a low incidence or absence of allergenic reaction and tissue irritation.
[0013]In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method of performing a dental procedure, comprising obtaining a curable composition comprising 10-90% by weight of one or more acrylic monomers and 1-60% by weight of an olefinic component comprising oligomers or polymers of one or more straight chain or branched C4-C6 monomers having one or two double bonds per monomer molecule; applying the composition to at least one surface of a tooth or dental appliance; and allowing the composition to cure.

Problems solved by technology

While acrylic resins, due to a variety of available monomers, usually make it possible to compound a blend which, upon cure, will result in a polymer meeting the requirements of tissue biocompatibility, wear resistance, translucency, mechanical strength or hardness, they frequently fail or are less than satisfactory in applications requiring flexibility.
Especially vulnerable are thin areas of such objects.
Acrylic resins have unique features making them difficult to replace with other types of monomers, especially in particular or very demanding applications.

example 1

[0031]A heat curable composition consisted of:

%(by weight)Diurethane dimethacrylate73.58Polybutene9.68BHT0.05Benzoyl peroxide1.06Silica15.63

[0032]The components were mixed and the material composition was cured in the oven at 100° C. for 1 hour. The properties of cured material are: Barcol hardness: 25-30; Flexural strength: 71 Mpa. The product was judged suitable for intended use, such as for a temporary crown and bridge material.

example 2

[0033]A light curable composition consisted of:

%(by weight)Diurethane dimethacrylate73.75Polybutene8.38Camphoroquinone0.26Methacroyl ethyl diethylamine0.75Silica16.86

[0034]The material was mixed and then cured for 20 seconds using an Optilux® dental curing device (light curing). The product was judged suitable for intended use.

example 3

[0035]A chemically curable composition consisted of a 1:1 (v / v) mixture of Parts A and B:

%(by weight)Part ADiurethane dimethacrylate78.96N,N bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-p-toluidine0.39Silica20.65Part BDiurethane dimethacrylate73.58Polybutene9.68BHT0.05Benzoyl peroxide1.06Silica15.63

[0036]The material was soft cured in 110 seconds and hard cured in 150 seconds at 23° C. (soft cure is defined as a stage at which the material becomes solid but exhibits flexibility). The properties of cured material are: Barcol hardness: 42-45; Flexural strength: 61 Mpa. The product was judged suitable for use.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are acrylic and methacrylic acid ester-based polymeric materials containing as flexibilizing and brittleness reducing agents 1-60% of C4-C8 polyalkylene or polyalkyldiene compounds, preferably having a molecular weight of 300-2100, and the use of such materials in dentistry and medicine.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION INFORMATION[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 914,972, filed Aug. 10, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to modified, acrylate polymer compositions featuring reduced brittleness, such polymers being particularly suitable as dental / medical cements and restorative materials and for manufacturing dental prosthetics.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Polymeric materials based on the esters of methacrylic acid have found widespread industrial and medical applications. Their role is particularly prominent in dentistry where they have become a base for modern restorative materials, cements, varnishes, cavity liners and sealers. In medicine perhaps the most important uses of acrylic resins include contact lenses and cements used for hip restorations.[0006]Many of these applications require the material to meet a combination of requirements with respect to their c...
