AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a white dental material, specifically a cement or restorative, that is substantially free of iron oxide. This results in a material that is more aesthetically pleasing and better for dental procedures. The material contains a small amount of iron, but without the presence of iron oxide, it is still considered a white cement. The material falls within the compositional range of Portland cements, with specific percentages for calcia, silica, alumina, and iron. The material should ideally contain less than 0.5 percent by weight of iron based on the material's weight."

Problems solved by technology

However, the composition of that Portland cement is gray in color.
This color is deleterious in dental applications.
The grayness of the cement produces a very unaesthetic result when the cement is visible through thin tissue, such as in the smaller teeth in pedodontics, or at the gum line.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] A dental material such as a cement, restorative or the like, according to the invention, preferably has the following percentages by weight of components: [0015] 61 to 70% calcia [0016] 19 to 29% silica, [0017] 5 to 15% alumina and [0018] 0 to 0.5%iron.

[0019] Preferably the material contains less than about 0.5 percent by weight of iron, based upon 100 percent by weight of the material. More preferably, the material according to the invention is substantially free of iron oxide, meaning that it contains less than about 0.5 percent by weight of iron. Most preferably, the inventive material contains no iron. The material is visually observed to be white in color, and is therefore, more desirable in dental applications than gray-colored materials previously employed. A comparison of one embodiment of the present inventive material to known gray-colored materials is provided in TABLE I.

Abstract

A white, substantially non-iron containing dental material formed from Portland cement. The material may be a dental cement, dental restorative or the like.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This is a continuation application of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 868,522 (Case TUL-LOMA-CON) filed on Jun. 14, 2004, which is a continuation application of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 038,786 (Case TUL-LOMA) filed on Jan. 3, 2002; which claims priority of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 259,685 (Case TUL-LOMA) filed on Jan. 4, 2001.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention is directed toward a dental material, such as a cement or a restorative material. More particularly, the invention relates to a dental material that is prepared with a Portland cement. Specifically, the invention is such a material that is substantially free from iron oxide, and which has a CaO content of from about 50 to about 75 percent by weight and an SiO2 content of from about 15 to about 25 percent by weight. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] U.S. Pat. No. 5,415,547 describes a composition of cement for dental applications. Howe...
