The present invention is related to a dental composition comprising:(a) at least one polymerizable
monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group;(b) a
radical initiator system comprising(i) a
photosensitizer having an absorption maximum
ranging from 400 nm to 800 nm;(ii) a coinitiator; and(iii) a compound of the following formula (1):wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, independently represent a
hydrogen atom, a C1-6
alkyl group, or a C1-6
alkoxy group;R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, independently represent a
hydrogen atom, or a C1-6
alkyl group, or R3 and R4 may represent a bond so that the carbon atoms to which R3 and R4 are bonded are linked by a
double bond;R5 and R6, which may be the same or different, independently represent a
hydrogen atom, or a C1-6
alkyl group, or R5 and R6 may represent a bond so that the carbon atoms to which R5 and R6 are bonded are linked by a
double bond;L represents a
single bond or a group —CRH—, wherein R may be a
hydrogen atom, a C1-6 alkyl group, or a C1-6
alkoxy group;n and m, independently are integers of 1 to 6.
