POLYMERIZABLE MATERIAL

[0001] Intentionally left blank.
[0002] A dental device and method of making it, by shaping a first and a second wax-like polymerizable dental material to form a polymerizable dental device.
A specific aspect of the invention provides a method of making a multi-layered dental device, comprising the steps of: shaping a first wax-like polymerizable dental material, said first material being dimensionally stable in its uncured state at ambient temperature and comprising a mixture of monomer, oligomer, and light sensitizer to form a first portion of a polymerizable dental device, shaping a second wax-like polymerizable dental material, said second material being dimensionally stable in its uncured state at ambient temperature and comprising a mixture of monomer, oligomer, and light sensitizer to form a second portion of said polymerizable dental device, and polymerizing said first and second dental materials by light-curing after both materials have been applied to form a polymerized multi-layered dental device made of a polymeric matrix, which has a flexural modulus of at least 250,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 5,000 psi.

In another specific aspect, the invention provides a method as described herein wherein said first wax-like polymerizable dental material has a first flowable temperature, said second wax-like polymerizable dental material has a second flowable temperature, and said first flowable temperature, is higher than said second flowable temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Compositions useful in accordance with the invention may further include fillers, pigments, stabilizers, plasticizers and fibers. Preferably, these polymerizable dental compositions include from about 2 to about 95 percent by weight filler particles. More preferably, these compositions include from about 10 to about 85 percent by weight filler. Nanocomposites and ceramers may be formed from these composites. The fillers preferably include both organic and inorganic particulate fillers to further reduce polymerization 1a shrinkage, improve wear resistance and modify the mechanical and physical properties.
[0004] Light curable polymerizable dental materials preferably include a TM
light sensitizer, for example camphorquinone, Lucirin TPO, or methyl benzoin which causes polymerization to be initiated upon exposure to activating wavelengths of light; and/or a reducing compound, for example tertiary amine.
A room temperature or heat activating catalyst system is preferably. included in the polymerizable dental material. For example a peroxide capable of producing free radicals when activated by a reducing agent at room temperature or by heating. Preferred peroxides include benzyl peroxide and lauroyl peroxide.
[0005] A preferred embodiment of the invention uses a high strength dental polymeric material formed by light curing polymerizable dental material shaped into at least a portion of a denture base or tooth. Preferably the polymerizable dental material has a flexural modulus of at least 250,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 7,000 psi. Preferably a denture of the invention comprises a denture base and a tooth integrally connected and comprising an interpenetrating polymer network polymeric matrix and at least 0.1 percent by weight of self-lubricating particles having a particle size less than 500 microns effectively bonded to and distributed in the polymeric matrix.
Preferably the integral connection of the denture base and a tooth is effectively greater than a bond strength of 4,480 psi.
[0006] "Wax-like material" as used herein refers to material which is flowable (fluid) above 40 C and becomes dimensionally stable (solidifies: i.e.
is nonfluid) at least at and below 23 C, within 5 minutes. Thus, wax-like material is flowable when it is at and above 40 C, and becomes dimensionally stable when it is at and below 23 C. Flowable wax-like material having a temperature from 100 C. to 40 C, becomes dimensionally stable within 5 minutes by cooling by exposure to an ambient temperature between 23 C and 0 C. Flowable wax-like material having a temperature from 100 C to 40. C, becomes dimensionally stable within (in order of increasing preference) 2, 1, 0.5 or 0.3 minutes by cooling by exposure to an ambient temperature between 23 C and 0 C.
[0007] "High strength dental polymeric material" as used herein refers to material having a polymeric matrix having a flexural modulus of at least 250,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 5,000 psi. Optionally, high strength dental polymeric material includes reinforcing filler. However, the polymeric matrix alone (without any reinforcing filler) has a flexural modulus of at least 250,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 5,000 psi. Preferably high strength dental polymeric material has a polymeric matrix having a flexural modulus of at least 300,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 7,000 psi. More preferably high strength dental polymeric material in order of increasing preference has a polymeric matrix having a flexural modulus of at least 350,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 12,000 psi. Artificial teeth and denture base both made of high strength dental polymeric material are integrally connected in dental products including full dentures, partial dentures and bridges during polymerization of polymerizable dental material.
[0008] "Flexural strength, and flexural modulus" as used herein refers to results of testing according to ASTM D790 (1997). "Notched impact strength"
as used herein is also referred to as "notched Izod impact resistance" and refers to results of testing according to ASTM D256 (1 997). "Un-notched impact strength" as used herein refers to results of testing according to ASTM
D4812 (1993).
[0009] In the following examples, unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are by weight; Lucirin TPO refers to 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphine oxide made by BASF, and the visible light TM
curing unit used was an Eclipse visible light curing unit, sold by Dentsply International, providing about 30 milliwatts/cm2 of from 350 to 450 nm light.
