[0037] The viscosity of the three-dimensional modeling composition of this embodiment is, for example, preferably 200 mPa·s or more and 1500 mPa·s or less, more preferably 300 mPa·s or more and 1300 mPa·s or less, and even more preferably 400 mPa·s or more and 1000 mPa·s or less. When the viscosity of the three-dimensional modeling composition is 200 mPa·s or more and 1500 mPa·s or less, modeling of a three-dimensional model using the composition becomes easy. Here, the viscosity refers to the viscosity at 35°C measured using a Brookfield viscometer.
[0038] As described above, the composition for three-dimensional modeling of this embodiment contains a polymerizable monomer, inorganic particles, and a photopolymerization initiator, and the inorganic particles are surface-treated with the compound represented by the above general formula (1).

[0039] Furthermore, in the composition for 3-D modeling of this embodiment, as described above, the volume median particle size of the inorganic particles is 0.1 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less, and therefore, a dental object 3-D modeled using such a composition for 3-D modeling can maintain high abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.
[0040] Furthermore, as described above, the viscosity of the composition for three-dimensional modeling according to this embodiment is 200 mPa·s or more and 1500 mPa·s or less, which makes it easy to three-dimensionally model a dental object using such a composition for three-dimensional modeling.

Therefore, a dental object three-dimensionally modeled using such a composition for three-dimensional modeling can exhibit high abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.
[0045] <Method for manufacturing a dental object> The method for manufacturing a dental object according to this embodiment includes a step of layering the composition for 3-D modeling according to this embodiment and 3-D modeling a dental object. The dental object obtained by this manufacturing method is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a dental prosthesis that is 3-D modeled using the composition for 3-D modeling described above.

[0048] When manufacturing dental objects using the controlled liquid level method, the bottom surface of the container is optically transparent, and light emitted from below the container passes through the bottom surface of the container and is irradiated onto the three-dimensional modeling composition.

[0052] In the method for manufacturing a dental object according to this embodiment, the composition for 3D modeling according to this embodiment is used for 3D modeling of a dental object, and the resulting dental object thereby exhibits the same effects as those obtained by the composition for 3D modeling according to this embodiment.
[0053] Specifically, as described above, the composition for three-dimensional modeling according to this embodiment contains a polymerizable monomer, inorganic particles, and a photopolymerization initiator, and the inorganic particles are surface-treated with the compound represented by the general formula (1). Therefore, in the method for manufacturing a dental object according to this embodiment, by 3D modeling using such a composition for three-dimensional modeling, the resulting dental object can exhibit high abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.
[0054] Furthermore, in the composition for 3-D modeling according to this embodiment, the inorganic particles have a volume median particle size of 0.1 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less, as described above. Therefore, in the method for manufacturing a dental object according to this embodiment, by 3-D modeling using such a composition for 3-D modeling, the obtained dental object can maintain high abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.
[0055] As described above, the viscosity of the composition for three-dimensional modeling according to this embodiment is 200 mPa·s or more and 1500 mPa·s or less. Therefore, in the method for manufacturing a dental object according to this embodiment, three-dimensional modeling is performed using such a composition for three-dimensional modeling, which facilitates three-dimensional modeling of the resulting dental object.

[0061] (Inorganic Particles B-1) Inorganic particles B-1 having an average particle size of 0.7 μm were obtained in the same manner as inorganic particles A-2, except that 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was used instead of 8-methacryloyloxyoctyltrimethoxysilane.
[0062] (Inorganic Particles B-2) Inorganic particles B-2 having an average particle size of 1.5 μm were obtained in the same manner as inorganic particles A-3, except that 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was used instead of 8-methacryloyloxyoctyltrimethoxysilane.
[0063]
[0064] <Preparation of Composition for Three-Dimensional Forming> Compositions for three-dimensional forming were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 2. The prepared compositions for three-dimensional forming were in a paste form.
[0065]
[0066] The abbreviations in Table 2 are as follows:
[0067] Bis-MEPP 1: Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate BPE-100 (manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd.) Bis-MEPP 2: Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate BPE-500 (manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd.) TEGDMA: Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate UDMA: Bis(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene dicarbamate TPO: (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)diphenylphosphine oxide DME: Ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate BHT: 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol Tinuvin (registered trademark) P: 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methylphenol (manufactured by BASF) Pigment: Pigment containing titanium dioxide (white)
[0068] <Viscosity of Paste> The viscosity of the three-dimensional modeling composition (paste form) at 35°C was measured using a Brookfield viscometer.
[0069] The viscosity was evaluated as pass (good) when the viscosity was 1000 mPa·s or less, and as fail (poor) when the viscosity exceeded 1000 mPa·s.
[0070] <Three-Point Bending Strength> A 2 × 2 × 25 mm test piece was designed using CAD software (Asiga, Composer (registered trademark)), and then the test piece was 3D-printed using a DLP 3D printer (Asiga, MAX385) and a 3D modeling composition (paste-like). The resulting 3D model was thoroughly washed with isopropanol, and then post-polymerized using a dental photopolymerizer to produce a test piece.
[0071] The test specimen was polished using waterproof abrasive paper and then stored for 24 hours in water at 37° C. Next, a three-point bending test was carried out on the test specimen using a small tabletop testing machine (Shimadzu, EZ test) at a crosshead speed of 1 mm / min, and the three-point bending strength was measured as the mechanical strength.
[0072] In the evaluation of the three-point bending strength, a three-point bending strength of 120 MPa or more is considered to be pass (good), and a three-point bending strength of less than 120 MPa is considered to be fail (poor).
[0073] The prepared compositions for three-dimensional modeling were subjected to the following tests and evaluated. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.
[0074] <Wear Amount> A test specimen was designed using CAD software (Asiga, Composer (registered trademark)), and then 3D-printed using a DLP 3D printer (Asiga, MAX385) and a paste for 3D printing. The 3D-printed object was thoroughly washed with isopropanol, and then post-polymerized using a dental photopolymerizer. The 3D-printed object was then stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours to obtain a test specimen.
[0075] The test piece was attached to a bite wear tester (Tokyo Giken Co., Ltd.), the unpolymerized layer was polished with #1000 abrasive paper, and the total length of the test piece before the test was measured. A slurry of equal amounts of glycerin and polymethyl acrylate (PMMA) (Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd., ACRYCON AC) was placed on the bite wear tester, and a test was performed simulating 100,000 bites up and down and left and right against a polymethyl acrylate (PMMA) plate. The total length of the test piece after the test was measured, and the difference before and after the test was taken as the amount of wear, and the wear resistance was evaluated.
[0076] The abrasion resistance was evaluated as pass (good) when the amount of abrasion was 20 μm or less, and as fail (poor) when the amount of abrasion was more than 20 μm.
[0077] As can be seen from Table 2, the three-dimensional objects obtained using the compositions for three-dimensional modeling, which contained a polymerizable monomer, inorganic particles, and a photopolymerization initiator, and in which the inorganic particles were surface-treated with 8-methacryloyloxyoctyltrimethoxysilane, were all excellent in viscosity, three-point bending strength, and abrasion resistance (Examples 1 to 7).
[0078] In contrast, objects 3D-modeled using a composition for 3D modeling containing a polymerizable monomer, inorganic particles, and a photopolymerization initiator, in which the inorganic particles were surface-treated with 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, were poor in at least one of viscosity, three-point bending strength, and abrasion resistance (Comparative Examples 1 to 4).
[0079] These results demonstrate that a composition for three-dimensional modeling, which contains a polymerizable monomer, inorganic particles, and a photopolymerization initiator, and in which the inorganic particles are surface-treated with the compound represented by general formula (1), can improve the abrasion resistance and mechanical strength of the resulting three-dimensional model while enabling three-dimensional modeling of the resulting three-dimensional object.
