Benefits of technology

[0008] Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a color-stabilized two-part (catalyst part and base part) dental composition comprising a silver-containing ceramic, at least one monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group, and a redox polymerization initiator system with each part containing one component of the redox initiator system. The catalyst part containing the oxidizing agent of the redox initiator system, such as a peroxide, exhibits improved shelf color stability when a silver-containing ceramic is incorporated. The composition may optionally contain a filler.

Problems solved by technology

However, gap formation occurs between the restorative material and tooth structure as a result of inadequate adhesive bonding, polymerization shrinkage stress, thermal stress, and mechanical stress (mastication force).
This leads to microleakage and, subsequently, secondary caries.
None of the aforementioned references disclose a dental composition containing ethylenically unsaturated monomers and polymerization initiators in which a silver-containing ceramic provides desirable properties, such as antimicrobial properties and color stabilization, without sacrificing the mechanical strength of the dental composition.

example 1

[0033] Three pastes (A, B and C) were made based on Nexus™ 2 base clear paste (Kerr Corporation, Orange Calif.). Bacterial growth inhibition tests according to the AATCC 100 method were conducted on thethhree compositions. Paste A was same as Nexus™ 2 base clear shade composition and served as the control, paste B was made by incorporating 3.0% Irgaguard® B7000 (an antimicrobial silver-zinc glass powder from Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation, Tarrytown N.Y.) into Nexus™ 2 base clear shade composition, and paste C was made by incorporating 0.4% Irgaguard® B5000 (an antimicrobial silver-zinc zeolite from Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation) into Nexus™ 2 base clear composition. The specimens for the bacterial inhibition test were prepared according to above described method and the curing of the specimen was achieved by light-curing the specimen for one minute.

example 2

[0035] Irgaguard® B7000 was incorporated in the catalyst paste of a commercial core buildup material (CoreRestore® 2, Kerr Corporation, Orange Calif.) at 3%w / w concentration. The color stability of the catalyst pastes with and without Irgaguard® B7000 was measured initially and then at different time intervals after the pastes were stored at elevated temperatures (37° C. and 42° C.). The results are shown in Table 2.

[0036] A CoreRestore® 2 catalyst paste without Irgaguard® B7000 became significantly more yellow (b* value becoming more positive) and somewhat more green (a* value becoming more negative) than CoreRestore® 2 catalyst paste with Irgaguard® B7000.

[0037] The overall color change was calculated using following equation:

ΔE={(L*1−L*0)2+(a*1−a*0)2+(b*1−b*0)2}1 / 2

[0038] Where L*0, a*0, and b*0 were the initial color coordinates of freshly prepared material before aging; and L*1, a*1, and b*1 were the color coordinates after aging.

example 3

[0040] Irgaguard® B7000 was incorporated in the catalyst paste of a commercial resin cement (NexuS™ 2 Kerr Corporation, Orange Calif.) at 3%w / w concentration. The color stability of the pastes with and without Irgaguard® B7000 was measured initially and then after aging at 42° C. for twenty-two days.

[0041] The results are shown in Table 3. Nexus™ 2 catalyst paste without Irgaguard® B7000 became significantly more yellow (b* value becoming more positive) and somewhat more green (a* value becoming more negative) than Nexus™ 2 catalyst paste with Irgaguard® B7000. The color change (ΔE) for the Nexus™ 2 catalyst paste with Irgaguard® B7000 was much less than that for the Nexus™ 2 catalyst paste without Irgaguard® B7000. Therefore Nexus™ 2 catalyst paste with the silver-zinc glass additive was much more color stable than Nexus™ 2 catalyst paste without the additive.

Abstract

A dental composition comprising a silver-containing ceramic having antimicrobial and color stabilizing properties and methods for using the composition. The composition comprises a silver-containing glass powder or a silver-containing zeolite powder, at least one monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group, and a polymerization initiator system. Other components, such as a filler, may also be included. The inventive composition possesses antimicrobial properties and exhibits excellent mechanical properties upon curing. Additionally, when the polymerization initiator is a two-part redox initiator system, the composition has improved color stability. The inventive composition can be used as a dental restorative composition, an endodontic composition, an orthodontic composition, and / or a prosthetic composition.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a Divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 177,055, filed on Jun. 21, 2002, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to a dental composition comprising a silver-containing ceramic that exhibits antimicrobial properties and improved color stability without compromising mechanical properties. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Resin based dental restorative materials are becoming the material of choice by dentists and patients due to their desirable aesthetic properties. However, gap formation occurs between the restorative material and tooth structure as a result of inadequate adhesive bonding, polymerization shrinkage stress, thermal stress, and mechanical stress (mastication force). This leads to microleakage and, subsequently, secondary caries. [0004] A restorative material that possesses antibacterial properties and inhibits bacter...
