Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dental restorative material preparation, and specifically relates to a dendritic organic monomer, composite resin, and preparation method based on betulin. Background Technology

[0002] Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a chronic disease caused by bacteria and microorganisms in the oral cavity breaking down food debris, producing acidic substances that erode healthy teeth. Essentially, it's a process mediated by biofilms and driven by sugars. The formation of dental caries mainly involves the demineralization of inorganic matter and the decomposition of organic matter, pathologically manifesting as a gradual change in tooth color and progressive lesions in the hard tissues of the teeth. Traditionally, people used willow branches (mainly containing Panax notoginseng) to make toothbrushes and dried and crushed pine resin and Poria cocos into powder to make toothpaste to prevent caries. In the 1970s, Professors Kyes and Newbrun proposed that food (fermentable carbohydrates), the host (susceptible tooth surface), cariogenic bacteria (mainly Streptococcus mutans), and time constitute the four major factors in the modern etiology of dental caries.

[0003] The 2018 Fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey Report showed that the caries rate in deciduous teeth among 5-year-old children in my country was as high as 70.1%, and the caries rate in permanent teeth among 12-year-old children reached 34.5%. The detection rates of dental calculus and gingival bleeding among residents aged 35-44 were as high as 96.7% and 87.4%, respectively, indicating that with the continuous improvement of living standards, oral health problems in my country are showing a trend of affecting younger people. The WHO has listed dental caries as one of the three major non-communicable diseases that should be prioritized for prevention and control in the 21st century. Therefore, dental materials used for caries restoration and treatment have become a research hotspot.

[0004] The earliest dental restorative material used was amalgam, which hardens quickly and can withstand the chewing forces between teeth, and has been used for over 160 years. However, traditional amalgam not only has poor aesthetics and flowability, but also poses a potential risk of heavy metals being released into the dental pulp and gums after being filled into caries. These substances are subsequently absorbed by saliva and blood, and can be conducted throughout the body, damaging the renal and nervous systems. Compared to traditional amalgam, dental restorative resins offer superior aesthetics and workability, along with good bonding ability and lower toxicity. Therefore, composite resins have gradually replaced amalgam as the primary material for dental restorations. However, resins are prone to polymerization shrinkage during light curing, creating gaps between the dentin and resin, leading to microleakage. Simultaneously, oral bacteria adhere to the surface of the restorative resin, forming a biofilm, ultimately causing restoration failure. Furthermore, Bis-GMA in the resin matrix is ​​reproductively toxic to humans. Therefore, dental restorative resins not only need sufficient mechanical strength but also low polymerization shrinkage and biocompatibility to reduce and avoid secondary caries and material damage to the human body.
