Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a dental filling kit. [Background technology]
[0002] Currently, when relatively small cavities are formed due to damage to tooth structure (enamel, dentin, and cementum) caused by dental caries or other factors, the mainstream method of restorative filling treatment is to use an adhesive system that combines a one-component dental bonding material and a one-material dental composite resin. The general procedure for such restorative filling treatment involves first applying a one-component dental bonding material to the entire cavity, removing volatile components such as water or organic solvents with an air blower if necessary, and then curing the dental bonding material with light irradiation. The cavity is then filled with a one-component dental composite resin, which is then cured by light irradiation or other means. The surface of the cured dental composite resin is then reshaped or polished as necessary to complete the restorative filling treatment.
[0003] One-component dental bonding materials used in such filling and restorative treatments are compositions containing a monomer having an acidic group, a monomer not having an acidic group, a polymerization initiator, and water, while one-component dental composite resins are generally compositions containing a monomer not having an acidic group, a polymerization initiator, and a filler, but not containing a monomer having an acidic group. The majority of dental bonding materials are one-component, photocurable materials containing a photopolymerization initiator as a polymerization initiator. Meanwhile, Patent Document 1 discloses a two-component dental bonding material in which a monomer having an acidic group and a specific compound are individually packaged from the standpoint of storage stability, and also describes an embodiment in which the material is used in combination with a dental composite resin.
[0004] In such filling and restorative treatments, the operational steps are being simplified. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a dental filling kit that comprises a specific dental bonding material containing a monomer with an acidic group and a dental composite resin containing a monomer with an acidic group, and describes that sufficient adhesive strength and marginal sealing can be obtained without irradiating the bonding material with light. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-121869 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-131621 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] However, the inventors' investigations revealed that the two-component dental bonding material of Patent Document 1, not only when it is a composition that does not contain a photopolymerization initiator, but also when it is a composition that contains a photopolymerization initiator and is irradiated with light, leaves room for improvement in adhesion to tooth structure and sealing ability at the cavity margin when used in combination with a dental composite resin. More specifically, even when the dental composite resin of Patent Document 1 is used in combination with a two-component dental bonding material, when a cavity is filled with the dental composite resin and polymerized and cured, sealing ability at the cavity margin (hereinafter also referred to as "cavity sealing ability") is poor. The shrinkage stress during polymerization of the dental composite resin causes the composite resin, which is the cured product after polymerization, to peel off from the cavity wall, creating a gap between the composite resin and the tooth structure, and marginal leakage, a phenomenon in which oral bacteria and the like invade through this gap, was not sufficiently suppressed.
[0007] Furthermore, the commercially available light-curing dental composite resin (product name "Palfique Esthelite", Tokuyama Dental Co., Ltd.) disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not contain a monomer having an acidic group.
[0008] Furthermore, the dental filling kit of Patent Document 2 is said to have excellent adhesive strength to tooth tissue and excellent marginal sealing ability, but marginal sealing ability was not evaluated in the examples. The inventors of the present invention have studied Patent Document 2 and found that when a dental composite resin is filled into a cavity and polymerized and cured, the shrinkage stress during polymerization of the dental composite resin causes gaps between the dental composite resin and the tooth tissue, and marginal leakage cannot be sufficiently suppressed, as in Patent Document 1. Furthermore, the dental filling kit of Patent Document 2 has been found to reduce the curing depth when a shade with low transparency is used, such as when filling a composite resin whose color matches the discolored tooth tissue due to various reasons such as aging, resulting in a decrease in the curing depth of the bonding material and a decrease in cavity sealing ability.
[0009] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a dental filling kit that includes a two-component dental bonding material that has excellent adhesion to tooth structure and cavity sealing properties, and a self-adhesive dental composite resin. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] As a result of intensive research aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by a dental filling kit comprising a two-component dental bonding material having a specific composition containing a monomer having an acidic group and a chemical polymerization accelerator, and a dental composite resin having a specific composition containing a monomer having an acidic group, and after further research, have completed the present invention.

[0012] According to the present invention, a dental filling kit can be provided that includes a two-component dental bonding material and a self-adhesive dental composite resin, which have excellent adhesion to tooth structure and cavity sealing properties. Furthermore, by using a combination of the self-adhesive dental composite resin and the two-component dental bonding material, the dental filling kit of the present invention has excellent cavity sealing properties, even for deep cavities, such as those 2 mm or deeper, compared to a combination of a one-component dental bonding material and a self-adhesive dental composite resin. Furthermore, by using a combination of the self-adhesive dental composite resin and the two-component dental bonding material, the dental filling kit of the present invention also has excellent durability of adhesion to tooth structure and cavity sealing properties compared to a combination of a one-component dental bonding material and a self-adhesive dental composite resin. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] The dental filling kit of the present invention comprises a self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) and a two-component dental bonding material (Y) (hereinafter, simply referred to as "dental bonding material (Y)"). The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) contains a monomer (a) having an acidic group, a monomer (b) not having an acidic group, and a photopolymerization initiator (c). The two-component dental bonding material (Y) contains a first part and a second part, the first part containing a monomer (f) having an acidic group, at least one of the first part and the second part containing a chemical polymerization accelerator (h), and at least one of the first part and the second part containing water (i). The two-component dental bonding material (Y) can be mixed immediately before use.
[0014] Known chemical polymerization initiator systems that exhibit high polymerization activity in the presence of acid include an oxidizing agent consisting of a thermally stable organic peroxide and a reducing agent (reducing agents may function as a single reducing agent or as a combination of two or more types, collectively referred to as "polymerization accelerators"). Such chemical polymerization initiator systems are formulated taking into consideration the properties of the oxidizing agent, the reducing agent, and reactions with other components. For example, it is known that the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent are packaged separately and used as a two-component dental hardenable composition (e.g., bonding material).
[0015] Although the reasons why the dental filling kit of the present invention has excellent adhesion to tooth structure, sealing ability at the cavity margin, and durability thereof are unclear, the inventors presume as follows: In the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention, at least one of the first and second components contains a chemical polymerization accelerator (h). By combining the two-component dental bonding material (Y) using such a chemical polymerization system with the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), This is presumably because hardening is accelerated at the interface between the dental bonding material (Y) and the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), strengthening the bond between the two. While achieving the demineralization effect required for adhesion to tooth structure (especially dentin), the strong bond at the interface between the dental bonding material (Y) and the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) prevents the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), which is the cured product after polymerization and filled into the cavity, from peeling from the cavity wall and cavity floor due to contraction stress during polymerization of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), and because no gaps are created between the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) and the tooth structure, the cavity margins (cavity margins) are also well sealed. Furthermore, as mentioned above, it has excellent initial adhesion and sealing properties at the edges of the cavity, and both the interface between the tooth substance and the dental bonding material (Y) and the interface between the dental bonding material (Y) and the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) are strong, so it also has excellent durability (durability of adhesion to the tooth substance and durability of cavity sealing properties) over the entire range of the dental bonding material (Y) and the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X).

[0049] The hydrophobic monomer (b-2) may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When the content of the hydrophobic monomer (b-2) is equal to or less than the upper limit described below, it is easy to prevent the wettability of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) to tooth structure from decreasing, resulting in a decrease in adhesion.

The content of the hydrophilic monomer (b-3) may be 0 part by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers. When the content of the hydrophilic monomer (b-3) in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention is equal to or greater than the lower limit, a sufficient improvement in adhesion is likely to be obtained, and when the content is equal to or less than the upper limit, the desired mechanical strength of the cured product is likely to be obtained.

For example, they can be synthesized by the methods disclosed in JP-A-57-197289 and WO 2014 / 095724. The water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0069] The water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) may be dissolved in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) or dispersed in the composition of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) in the form of a powder.
[0070] When the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) is dispersed in the composition in powder form, an excessively large average particle size tends to cause sedimentation, so it is preferably 500 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less, and even more preferably 50 μm or less. On the other hand, an excessively small average particle size results in an excessively large specific surface area of the powder, reducing the amount of self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) that can be dispersed in the composition. Therefore, an average particle size of 0.01 μm or more is preferred. That is, the average particle size of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 500 μm, more preferably 0.01 to 100 μm, and even more preferably 0.01 to 50 μm.

[0073] From the viewpoint of the curing property of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) to be obtained, the content of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) is preferably 0.01 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomers in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention.

When the content of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) is equal to or greater than the lower limit, polymerization at the adhesion interface proceeds sufficiently, and sufficient adhesive strength is likely to be obtained. On the other hand, when the content of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) is equal to or less than the upper limit, sufficient adhesive strength is likely to be obtained.

[0085] Among these non-water-soluble photopolymerization initiators (c-2), it is preferable to use at least one selected from the group consisting of (bis)acylphosphine oxides, α-diketones, and coumarins. This allows for excellent photocuring properties in the visible and near-ultraviolet regions, and sufficient photocuring properties whether using a halogen lamp, a light-emitting diode (LED), or a xenon lamp. Thus, a self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) exhibiting good adhesion properties is obtained.
[0086] The content of the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2) is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the curing property of the resulting self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), it is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 7 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention. By keeping the content of the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2) at or below the upper limit, sufficient bond strength can be easily obtained even when the polymerization performance of the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2) itself is low, and further, precipitation of the polymerization initiator (c-1b) itself from the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) can be suppressed.
[0087] When the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) and the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2) are used in combination, the mass ratio of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) to the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2) [(c-1):(c-2)] in the present invention is preferably 10:1 to 1:10, more preferably 7:1 to 1:7, even more preferably 5:1 to 1:5, and particularly preferably 3:1 to 1:3. If the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) is contained in a mass ratio of more than 10:1, the curing ability of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) itself may be reduced, and when used in combination with the two-component dental bonding material (Y), it may be difficult to achieve the effects of the present invention, such as adhesion to tooth structure, cavity sealing ability, and the durability thereof. On the other hand, if the non-water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2) is contained in a mass ratio of more than 1:10, the hardening property of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) itself is increased, but the promotion of polymerization at the adhesive interface is insufficient, and it may be difficult to achieve high adhesiveness.
[0088] Chemical polymerization initiator The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention may further contain a chemical polymerization initiator. Examples of chemical polymerization initiators include organic peroxides and inorganic peroxides, with organic peroxides being preferred. The organic peroxide used as the chemical polymerization initiator is not particularly limited, and known peroxides can be used. Representative organic peroxides include, for example, ketone peroxides, hydroperoxides, diacyl peroxides, dialkyl peroxides, peroxyketals, peroxyesters, and peroxydicarbonates. Specific examples of these organic peroxides include those described in International Publication No. 2008 / 087977. One type of chemical polymerization initiator may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination. Examples of inorganic peroxides include peroxodisulfates and peroxodiphosphates, with peroxodisulfates being preferred in terms of curability.
[0089] <Filler (d)> The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention contains a filler (d) to adjust handling properties and to increase the mechanical strength (e.g., flexural modulus) of the cured product. Examples of the filler (d) include inorganic fillers, organic-inorganic composite fillers, and organic fillers. One type of filler (d) may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
[0090] Inorganic filler materials include quartz, silica; silica-based minerals such as kaolin, clay, mica, and mica; alumina, silica-titania, silica-titania-barium oxide, silica-zirconia, silica-alumina, lanthanum glass, borosilicate glass, soda glass, barium glass, zinc glass, strontium glass, glass ceramic, aluminosilicate glass, barium boroaluminosilicate glass, strontium boroaluminosilicate glass, fluoroaluminosilicate glass, calcium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, strontium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, barium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, and strontium calcium fluoroaluminosilicate. Examples of inorganic fillers include quartz glass, ytterbium oxide, yttrium oxide, zirconia, calcium phosphate, barium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, and silica-coated ytterbium fluoride. These may also be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, quartz, silica, silica-zirconia, barium glass, ytterbium oxide, and silica-coated ytterbium fluoride are preferred because they provide excellent mechanical strength and transparency to the resulting self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), and more preferably quartz, silica, silica-zirconia, barium glass, and silica-coated ytterbium fluoride. From the viewpoints of the handleability and mechanical strength of the resulting self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), the average particle size of the inorganic filler is preferably 0.001 to 50 μm, and more preferably 0.001 to 10 μm. In the present invention, when the inorganic filler has been surface-treated as described below, the average particle size of the inorganic filler refers to the average particle size before the surface treatment. A preferred embodiment includes a dental filling kit in which the filler (d) of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) contains an inorganic filler. Commercially available products include "Aerosil (registered trademark) OX50," "Aerosil (registered trademark) 50," "Aerosil (registered trademark) 200," "Aerosil (registered trademark) 380," "Aerosil (registered trademark) R972," and "Aerosil (registered trademark) 130" (all of which are trade names manufactured by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd.).
[0091] The shape of the inorganic filler is not particularly limited, and the particle size of the filler can be appropriately selected and used. Examples include amorphous fillers and spherical fillers. From the viewpoint of improving the mechanical strength of the cured product of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), it is preferable to use a spherical filler as the inorganic filler. The spherical filler used in the present invention is a filler in which, when a photograph of the filler is taken with an electron microscope, the particles observed within a unit field of view are rounded and the average uniformity, calculated by dividing the particle diameter in a direction perpendicular to the maximum diameter by the maximum diameter, is 0.6 or more. The average particle diameter of the spherical filler is preferably 0.05 to 5 μm. If the average particle diameter is less than 0.05 μm, the filling rate of the spherical filler in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) may decrease, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength. On the other hand, if the average particle size exceeds 5 μm, the surface area of the spherical filler decreases, and it may not be possible to obtain a cured product of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) having high mechanical strength.
[0092] The inorganic filler may be surface-treated with a known surface treatment agent such as a silane coupling agent before use, if necessary, in order to adjust the fluidity of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X). The silane coupling agents may be used singly or in combination of two or more. Any known silane coupling agent may be used without limitation. Specific examples of the silane coupling agent include vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, vinyltrichlorosilane, vinyltris(β-methoxyethoxy)silane, vinyltrippropoxysilane, vinyltributoxysilane, γ-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloyloxypropyltriethoxysilane, γ-methacryloyloxypropyltris(β-methoxyethoxy)silane, 6-(meth)acryloyloxyhexyltrimethoxysilane, 6-(meth)acryloyloxypropyltris(β-methoxyethoxy) ...

[0093] The surface treatment method is not particularly limited and may be any known method, such as a method of spraying the surface treatment agent onto the inorganic filler while vigorously stirring the inorganic filler, a method of dispersing or dissolving the inorganic filler and the surface treatment agent in a suitable solvent and then removing the solvent, or or a method in which the alkoxy groups of the surface treatment agent are hydrolyzed in an aqueous solution with an acid catalyst to convert them to silanol groups, and the silanol groups are then attached to the surface of the inorganic filler in the aqueous solution, after which the water is removed. In either method, the reaction between the inorganic filler surface and the surface treatment agent is completed by heating the resulting mixture, usually within a range of 50 to 150° C., thereby completing the surface treatment. The amount of the surface treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, 1 to 10 parts by mass of the surface treatment agent can be used per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic filler before treatment.
[0094] The organic-inorganic composite filler used in the present invention is obtained by adding a monomer to the inorganic filler described above in advance, forming a paste, polymerizing the mixture, and pulverizing it. Examples of the organic-inorganic composite filler that can be used include TMPT filler (trimethylolpropane methacrylate and silica filler mixed, polymerized, and then pulverized). The shape of the organic-inorganic composite filler is not particularly limited, and the particle size of the filler can be appropriately selected and used. From the viewpoints of the handleability and mechanical strength of the resulting composition, the average particle size of the organic-inorganic composite filler is preferably 0.001 to 50 μm, and more preferably 0.001 to 10 μm.

These may be used alone or in combination. The shape of the organic filler is not particularly limited, and the particle size of the filler can be appropriately selected. From the viewpoint of the handleability and mechanical strength of the resulting self-adhesive dental composite resin (X), the average particle size of the organic filler is preferably 0.001 to 50 μm, and more preferably 0.001 to 10 μm.
[0096] In this specification, the average particle size of the filler can be determined by laser diffraction scattering or electron microscope observation of the particles. Specifically, laser diffraction scattering is convenient for measuring the particle size of particles 0.1 μm or larger, while electron microscope observation is convenient for measuring the particle size of ultrafine particles less than 0.1 μm. 0.1 μm is the value measured by laser diffraction scattering. In this specification, the average particle size of the filler refers to the average particle size of the primary particles of the filler (average primary particle size).
[0097] Specifically, the laser diffraction scattering method can be performed by, for example, measuring on a volume basis using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (SALD-2300, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) and a 0.2% aqueous solution of sodium hexametaphosphate as a dispersion medium.
[0098] Specifically, electron microscope observation can be performed by taking a photograph of the particles using an electron microscope (S-4000 model, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.) and measuring the particle diameters of the particles (200 or more) observed within a unit field of view of the photograph using image analysis particle size distribution measurement software (Mac-View, manufactured by Mountec Co., Ltd.). In this case, the particle diameter is determined as the arithmetic mean value of the longest and shortest lengths of the particles, and the average primary particle diameter is calculated from the number of particles and their particle diameters.
[0099] The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention preferably uses a mixture or combination of two or more fillers with different materials, particle size distributions, and shapes. By combining two or more fillers, the fillers are densely packed and the number of interaction points between the filler and the monomer or between the fillers themselves increases.

On the other hand, when the content of the chemical polymerization accelerator (e) is equal to or less than the upper limit, sufficient adhesiveness is easily obtained and precipitation of the chemical polymerization accelerator (e) itself from the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) can be suppressed, and therefore the content is more preferably 20 parts by mass or less.
[0140] <Fluoride ion-releasing substances> The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention may further contain a fluoride ion-releasing substance. By containing a fluoride ion-releasing substance, a self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) can be obtained that can impart acid resistance to tooth structure.

[0144] From the viewpoint of ease of use, the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) of the present invention is preferably a one-component type (one-paste type) in which all components are premixed. When a two-component self-adhesive dental composite resin is used, the two components must be mixed immediately before use, which may result in the introduction of air bubbles and affect the properties of the cured self-adhesive dental composite resin. Therefore, in the present invention, the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) is a one-component type, which eliminates the need to mix the two components and allows it to be used as is, resulting in excellent operability, no risk of air bubbles being introduced, and reduced waste of the composition paste.

[0146] Dental bonding materials (Y) may undergo a redox reaction between a chemical polymerization initiator and a reducing agent (chemical polymerization accelerator (h)), or the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) may cure under acidic conditions. For example, when the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) is an arylborate compound, the arylborate compound first decomposes under the action of an acidic compound to form an arylborane compound, which is then oxidized by oxygen present in the atmosphere to generate radicals, a polymerization-active species. Furthermore, if peroxide is added to this radical generation mechanism, the arylborane compound is also actively oxidized by the peroxide, which is presumably further activating the radical generation. From the perspective of adhesion to tooth structure, a redox reaction between a chemical polymerization initiator and a reducing agent (chemical polymerization accelerator (h)) is preferred.
[0147] Since the dental bonding material (Y) contains water (i), it is preferable to volatilize the water (i) with an air blower after use.

The hydrophilic monomer (g-3) is a monomer that does not have an acidic group, does not correspond to the asymmetric acrylamide-methacrylate ester compound (g-1), and has a solubility in water at 25°C of 10% by mass or more, preferably 30% by mass or more, and more preferably is soluble in water at any ratio at 25°C. Examples of the hydrophilic monomer (g-3) include those similar to the hydrophilic monomer (b-3) that does not have an acidic group.
[0164] Among these hydrophilic monomers (g-3), from the viewpoints of adhesion to tooth structure, cavity sealing ability, and durability thereof, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, and hydrophilic monofunctional (meth)acrylamide monomers are preferred, and 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and N,N-diethylacrylamide are more preferred. One type of hydrophilic monomer (g-3) may be blended alone, or two or more types may be blended in combination.
[0165] If the content of the hydrophilic monomer (g-3) in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention is too low, the adhesive strength may not be sufficiently improved, and if it is too high, the mechanical strength of the cured product may decrease. Therefore, the content of the hydrophilic monomer (g-3) in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention is preferably in the range of 0 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 40 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0 to 30 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers. The content of the hydrophilic monomer (g-3) may be 0 part by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers.
[0166] The content of the monomer (g) not having an acidic group is preferably 50 to 99 parts by mass, more preferably 60 to 97 parts by mass, and even more preferably 70 to 95 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers.

[0167] One preferred embodiment is a two-component dental bonding material (Y) that is substantially free of di- or higher-functional (meth)acrylamide-based monomers.
[0168] <Water(i)> The two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention contains water (i). Water demineralizes the surface of tooth tissue to improve adhesion to the tooth tissue. When a silane coupling agent is present, water also improves adhesion to prostheses containing inorganic fillers (e.g., CAD / CAM resin blocks, composite resins, ceramic materials such as zirconia, alumina, lithium disilicate glass, and porcelain, as well as dental ceramics) in the presence of the silane coupling agent. Furthermore, in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of this embodiment, by mixing the first and second components and applying the mixture to the surface of the adherend, interactions between the components described above and the adherend, as well as chemical polymerization caused by interactions between the components described above, are promoted, resulting in adhesion. The water used must be substantially free of impurities that adversely affect adhesion; distilled water or ion-exchanged water is preferred. If the water content is too low, the demineralization-promoting effect may be insufficient, while if the water content is too high, adhesion may be reduced. Furthermore, the storage stability of the silane coupling agent may decrease, and in particular the adhesive strength of silica-based oxides may decrease. Therefore, the content of water (i) is preferably in the range of 1 to 50 mass %, more preferably in the range of 2 to 50 mass %, and even more preferably in the range of 3 to 20 mass %, based on the total mass of the dental bonding material (Y). "Amount" means the total mass of the first agent and the second agent.
[0169] <Chemical polymerization accelerator (h)> The two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention contains a chemical polymerization accelerator (h) from the viewpoints of adhesion to tooth structure, cavity sealing ability, and the durability thereof. Known chemical polymerization accelerators can be used as the chemical polymerization accelerator (h). Examples of the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) include those similar to the chemical polymerization accelerator (e).

[0171] The content of the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention is preferably 0.01 parts by mass or more, more preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers, from the viewpoint of the adhesiveness of the resulting two-component dental bonding material (Y) to tooth structure, etc. Furthermore, the content of the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) is preferably 10 parts by mass or less, more preferably 7 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 5 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of polymerizable monomer components, from the viewpoint of the adhesiveness of the resulting two-component dental bonding material (Y) to tooth structure, etc.
[0172] Organic solvents In the two-component dental bonding material (Y), at least one of the first and second parts may further contain an organic solvent. When the dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention contains an organic solvent, adhesion, application properties, and penetration into tooth tissue can be further improved, and separation of the components of the composition (bonding material) can be more effectively prevented. As the organic solvent, an organic solvent is usually used that has a boiling point of 150°C or less under normal pressure and a solubility in water at 25°C of 5% by mass or more, more preferably 30% by mass or more, and even more preferably is soluble in water in any proportion.
[0173] Examples of organic solvents include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, and diisopropyl ether; hydrocarbons such as hexane, toluene, and chloroform; and esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. Among these, taking into consideration both safety to living organisms and ease of removal based on volatility, it is preferable that the organic solvent is a water-soluble organic solvent. Specifically, ethanol, 2-propanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran are preferred, and ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, 2-methyl-2-propanol, and tetrahydrofuran are more preferred. The content of the organic solvent is not particularly limited, and in some embodiments, the incorporation of the organic solvent is not necessary. In the embodiment in which the organic solvent is used, the content of the organic solvent is preferably in the range of 1 to 85 mass %, more preferably in the range of 10 to 80 mass %, and even more preferably in the range of 15 to 75 mass %, based on the total mass of the dental bonding material (Y).
[0174] [Chemical polymerization initiator (j)] Since the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention can be cured by the dental bonding material (Y) alone, it is preferable that at least one of the first and second parts further contains a chemical polymerization initiator (j) in some embodiments. As the chemical polymerization initiator (j), an organic peroxide Examples of the chemical polymerization initiator (j) include inorganic peroxides. One type of the chemical polymerization initiator (j) may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.

[0178] When the two-component dental bonding material (Y) contains a redox polymerization initiator, the oxidizing agent and reducing agent are packaged separately and must be mixed immediately before use. Examples of the chemical polymerization initiator (j) used as the oxidizing agent for the redox polymerization initiator include organic peroxides. One type of organic peroxide may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.

These organic peroxides may be used alone or in combination of two or more, but from the viewpoint of polymerization activity, hydroperoxides are particularly preferred.
[0189] Examples of inorganic peroxides include peroxodisulfates and peroxodiphosphates, and among these, peroxodisulfates are preferred in terms of curability. Specific examples of peroxodisulfates include sodium peroxodisulfate, potassium peroxodisulfate, aluminum peroxodisulfate, and ammonium peroxodisulfate.
[0190] From the viewpoint of curability, the content of the chemical polymerization initiator (j) is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.02 to 8 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers in the two-component dental bonding material (Y).
[0191] <Photopolymerization initiator (k)> At least one of the first and second parts of the two-component dental bonding material (Y) may further contain a photopolymerization initiator (k).
[0192] The photopolymerization initiator (k) is classified into a water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) and a water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2). As the photopolymerization initiator (k), only the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) may be used, only the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) may be used, or the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) and the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) may be used in combination, but it is preferable to use them in combination.
[0193] Water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) The water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) improves polymerization curing at the hydrophilic tooth surface interface, enabling high adhesion to tooth structure. The water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) has a solubility in water at 25°C of 10 g / L or more, preferably 15 g / L or more, more preferably 20 g / L or more, and even more preferably 25 g / L or more. A solubility of 10 g / L or more allows the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) to dissolve sufficiently in the water in the tooth structure at the adhesive interface, making it easier to achieve a polymerization-promoting effect.
[0194] Examples of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) include the same as the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1). One type of water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
[0195] The water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) may be dissolved in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) or dispersed in the composition in the form of a powder.
[0196] When the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) is dispersed as a powder, if its average particle size is too large, it tends to settle, so it is preferably 500 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less, and even more preferably 50 μm or less. On the other hand, if the average particle size is too small, the specific surface area of the powder becomes too large, reducing the amount dispersible in the composition, so it is preferably 0.01 μm or more. That is, the average particle size of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 500 μm, more preferably 0.01 to 100 μm, and even more preferably 0.01 to 50 μm.
[0197] The average particle size of each water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) powder can be calculated in the same manner as for the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (c-1) powder.
[0198] When the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) is dispersed in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) as a powder, the shape of the initiator is not particularly limited, and various shapes such as spherical, needle-like, plate-like, crushed, etc. can be mentioned. The water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) can be prepared by a conventionally known method such as a pulverization method, a freeze-drying method, or a reprecipitation method. From the viewpoint of the average particle size of the obtained powder, the freeze-drying method and the reprecipitation method are preferred, and the freeze-drying method is more preferred.
[0199] The content of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) is preferably 0.01 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomers in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention from the viewpoint of the curing property of the obtained two-component dental bonding material (Y), and the ... From this viewpoint, the content is more preferably 0.05 to 10 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass. If the content of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) is less than 0.01 part by mass, polymerization at the adhesive interface may not proceed sufficiently, which may result in a decrease in adhesiveness. On the other hand, if the content of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) exceeds 20 parts by mass, sufficient adhesiveness may not be obtained, and furthermore, dissolution, dispersion, and diffusion in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) may be insufficient.
[0200] Non-water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) From the viewpoint of curing property, the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention preferably contains, in addition to the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1), a water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) having a solubility in water at 25°C of less than 10 g / L (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2)). The water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) used in the present invention can be a known photopolymerization initiator. The water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) may be blended singly or in combination of two or more.
[0201] Examples of the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) include the same as the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (c-2).
[0202] Among the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiators (k-2), it is preferable to use at least one selected from the group consisting of (bis)acylphosphine oxides, α-diketones, and coumarins. This allows for the production of a two-component dental bonding material (Y) that has excellent photocurability in the visible and near-ultraviolet regions and exhibits sufficient photocurability whether using a halogen lamp, a light-emitting diode (LED), or a xenon lamp.
[0203] The content of the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the curability of the resulting composition, it is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 7 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomers in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of the present invention. Note that if the content of the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) exceeds 10 parts by mass, sufficient adhesive strength may not be obtained if the polymerization performance of the polymerization initiator itself is low, and further, precipitation from the two-component dental bonding material (Y) may occur.
[0204] When a water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) and a water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) are used in combination, the mass ratio of the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) to the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) [(k-1):(k-2)] in the present invention is preferably 10:1 to 1:10, more preferably 7:1 to 1:7, even more preferably 5:1 to 1:5, and most preferably 3:1 to 1:3. If the water-soluble photopolymerization initiator (k-1) is contained in a mass ratio of more than 10:1, the curing property of the two-component dental bonding material (Y) itself may be reduced, making it difficult to achieve high adhesiveness. On the other hand, if the water-insoluble photopolymerization initiator (k-2) is contained in a mass ratio of more than 1:10, although the curing property of the two-component dental bonding material (Y) itself is enhanced, the polymerization promotion at the adhesive interface may be insufficient, making it difficult to achieve high adhesiveness.
[0205] Another embodiment is a dental filling kit including a two-component dental bonding material (Y) further containing a filler. Examples of fillers used in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) include those similar to the filler (d) in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X). One type of filler may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination. The method for measuring the average particle size of the filler is the same as that described for the filler (d) in the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X).
[0206] Examples of the shape of the inorganic filler include amorphous fillers and spherical fillers. From the viewpoint of improving the mechanical strength of the two-component dental bonding material (Y), it is preferable to use a spherical filler as the inorganic filler. Here, the spherical filler is as explained in the filler (d) of the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X). The average particle size of the filler is preferably 0.01 μm or more in order to maintain the mechanical strength without reducing the filler filling rate in the dental bonding material (Y), and is preferably 1 μm or less in order to maintain the dispersion stability of the filler.
[0207] In the two-component dental bonding material (Y), two or more fillers having different materials, particle size distributions, and shapes may be mixed or combined, and particles other than the filler may be unintentionally contained as impurities within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Commercially available fillers may be used as the filler in the present invention.
[0208] The content of the filler used in the two-component dental bonding material (Y) is not particularly limited, and is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 30 mass %, more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 20 mass %, and even more preferably in the range of 1.0 to 10 mass %, based on the total mass of the two-component dental bonding material (Y).
[0209] In addition, the two-component dental bonding material (Y) may contain fluoride ion-releasing substances, pH adjusters, polymerization inhibitors (e.g., dibutylhydroxytoluene (BHT), hydroquinone monomethyl ether (MEHQ)), colorants, fluorescent agents, fragrances, functional monomers, and the like, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Antibacterial substances such as cetylpyridinium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, (meth)acryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide, (meth)acryloyloxyhexadecylpyridinium chloride, (meth)acryloyloxydecylammonium chloride, and triclosan may also be contained. Examples of functional monomers that impart adhesion to metals include 10-mercaptodecyl (meth)acrylate, 6-(4-vinylbenzyl-n-propyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithione, 6-methacryloyloxyhexyl 2-thiouracil-5-carboxylate, and monomers containing sulfur, such as the thiouracil derivatives described in JP-A-10-1473 and the disulfide compounds described in JP-A-11-92461, with 6-methacryloyloxyhexyl 2-thiouracil-5-carboxylate being preferred due to its excellent adhesion to precious metals.
[0210] In one embodiment, from the viewpoint of storage stability of the dental bonding material (Y), it is preferable that the dental bonding material (Y) is substantially free of a photopolymerization initiator. Substantially free of a photopolymerization initiator means that the content of the photopolymerization initiator is less than 0.1 mass %, preferably less than 0.05 mass %, more preferably less than 0.01 mass %, and may be 0 mass %, relative to the total amount of monomers contained in the two-component dental bonding material (Y).
[0211] Based on the total mass of the two-component dental bonding material (Y), the content of the monomer (f) having an acidic group is preferably 0.1 to 20 mass%, more preferably 0.5 to 15 mass%, and even more preferably 1 to 10 mass%, from the viewpoints of adhesion to tooth structure, cavity sealing ability, and durability thereof. Based on the total mass of the two-component dental bonding material (Y), the content of the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) is preferably 0.01 to 10 mass%, more preferably 0.05 to 8 mass%, and even more preferably 0.1 to 6 mass%, from the viewpoints of adhesion to tooth structure, cavity sealing ability, and durability thereof. The total amount of the monomers is preferably 5 to 97 mass %, more preferably 10 to 95 mass %, and even more preferably 15 to 90 mass %, based on the total mass of the two-component dental bonding material (Y). The content of the filler is preferably 0 to 50 mass %, more preferably 0 to 40 mass %, and even more preferably 0 to 30 mass %, based on the total mass of the two-component dental bonding material (Y).
[0212] The two-component dental bonding material (Y) is stored in a state where it is packaged separately into a first agent and a second agent. Here, the form of packaging is not particularly limited as long as the composition constituting the first agent and the composition constituting the second agent do not come into contact with or mix with each other during storage, but typically the first agent and the second agent are stored separately in various containers such as syringes, bags, and bottles. Meanwhile, when using the bonding material, the first agent and the second agent are typically mixed to prepare a mixed composition, and then this mixed composition is applied to the surface of an adherend such as a tooth. However, it is also possible to mix the first agent and the second agent on the surface of the adherend by applying the first agent and the second agent simultaneously or separately and sequentially to the surface of the adherend.

[0219] The chemical polymerization initiator (j) may be contained in both the first and second parts, but is preferably contained in only one of them. Furthermore, since it is preferable that the three components of the monomer, chemical polymerization accelerator (h), and chemical polymerization initiator (j) do not come into contact during storage, it is preferable that at least one of the chemical polymerization accelerator (h) and chemical polymerization initiator (j) is not contained in the first part. A preferred embodiment is a two-component dental bonding material (Y) in which the first component contains a monomer (f) having an acidic group, a monomer (g) not having an acidic group, an organic solvent, a chemical polymerization accelerator (h), and a polymerization inhibitor, and the second component contains the chemical polymerization accelerator (h), water (j), an organic solvent, and a chemical polymerization initiator (j).
[0220] The mixing ratio (first part / second part) of the first and second parts of the two-component dental bonding material (Y) can be appropriately selected as long as the adhesive properties and operability are not significantly impaired. However, from the practical viewpoint of ease of handling and product packaging, the mixing ratio (first part / second part) is preferably in the range of 1 / 5 to 5 / 1 by volume, more preferably 1 / 3 to 3 / 1. Alternatively, the mixing ratio (first part / second part) is preferably in the range of 1 / 5 to 5 / 1 by mass, more preferably 1 / 3 to 3 / 1. Furthermore, users of the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of this embodiment typically mix the first and second parts according to the mixing ratio (hereinafter referred to as the "designated mixing ratio") specified by the developer, manufacturer, or seller of the two-component dental bonding material (Y) of this embodiment. The actual mixing ratio during use is permissible to deviate from the specified mixing ratio as long as the adhesiveness and operability are not significantly impaired. For example, when the specified mixing ratio is taken as the standard (100%), the actual mixing ratio during use may be in the range of 33% to 300%, and preferably in the range of 50% to 200%.
[0221] The specified mixing ratio can be displayed on a mixing ratio information display medium. Examples of this mixing ratio information display medium include: i) product packaging such as a paper box; ii) product instructions provided as paper and / or electronic data; iii) containers (bottles, syringes, packaging bags, etc.) in which the first and second parts are sealed; iv) product catalogs provided as paper and / or electronic data; and v) correspondence sent to product users by email, mail, etc. separately from the product. The specified mixing ratio may also be provided to product users in a manner that allows the product user to recognize it, other than the above i) to v).
[0222] <Configuration of the dental filling kit of the present invention> The dental filling kit of the present invention comprises a self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) and a two-component dental bonding material (Y). The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) and the two-component dental bonding material (Y) are usually filled in independent containers.
[0223] The dental filling kit of the present invention may further contain an etching material, a dental primer, etc. in combination. From the viewpoint of cavity sealing ability, it is preferable to apply the etching material only to the enamel. From the viewpoint of adhesive strength to the tooth structure and cavity sealing ability, it is preferable to combine it with a dental primer. The dental primer may or may not be polymerized alone, but from the viewpoint of cavity sealing ability, it is preferable to polymerize it by photo- or chemical polymerization. The etching material and The dental primer and the etching agent may be used alone or in combination. From the viewpoint of cavity sealing, the procedure of applying the dental primer after using the etching agent is preferred.
[0224] <Specific application methods and procedures> Dental bonding material (Y) processing The tooth surface to which the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) is applied is treated with a dental bonding material (Y). Treatment methods include applying the dental bonding material (Y) and leaving it to stand for a predetermined treatment time, or applying the dental bonding material (Y) and rubbing it with an instrument such as a microbrush for a predetermined treatment time. However, from the viewpoint of cavity sealing, rubbing it with an instrument such as a microbrush for a predetermined treatment time is preferred. The solvent is then removed by air blowing. If the dental bonding material contains a photopolymerization initiator, the solvent is removed and the resulting material is then irradiated with light using a dental light irradiator.
[0225] ·Application of self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) After treating the tooth surface (cavity) with dental bonding material (Y), a self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) is applied. After filling with the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) and smoothing the surface, if the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) contains a photopolymerization initiator, it is irradiated with light using a dental light curing device to harden. If the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) contains a chemical polymerization initiator, it is left to stand until hardening is complete. After that, the surface shape is corrected and polished as needed.
[0226] When combining an etching agent and a dental primer, if an etching agent is used, it should be used before applying the dental bonding material (Y), and if a dental primer is used, it should be used before applying the dental bonding material (Y). [Example]

[0244] [Examples 1 to 32 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5] [Preparation of self-adhesive dental composite resin (X)] The raw materials (excluding bonding materials) shown in Tables 3 to 5 below were mixed and kneaded in a dark place at room temperature (23°C) to prepare paste-like self-adhesive dental composite resins, and their properties were investigated according to the methods of the following Test Examples 1 and 2. The results are shown in Tables 3 to 5.
[0245] [Preparation of dental bonding material (Y)] The components shown in Tables 1 and 2 below were divided into a first part and a second part, which were mixed at room temperature (23°C) to prepare the first and second parts. The combination of the first and second parts corresponds to dental bonding material (Y). The first and second parts obtained were each filled into a container of "Clearfil (registered trademark) Tri-S Bond ND Quick" (manufactured by Kuraray Noritake Dental Co., Ltd.) and used.
[0246] Test Example 1: Bond strength to dentin [Shear adhesion test to dentin] The labial surfaces of bovine mandibular anterior teeth were polished under running water with #80 silicon carbide paper (Nihon Kenshi Co., Ltd.) to expose the flat surface of the dentin. The sample teeth were fixed onto tape attached to the bottom of a 15-hole mold (Ultradent, φ35 mm x H25 mm). Plaster was filled into the mold and allowed to stand for approximately 30 minutes to harden. The samples were removed from the mold and polished under running water with #600 silicon carbide paper (Nihon Kenshi Co., Ltd.) to a size sufficient for adhesion (φ2.38 mm or larger). The adhesion surface was then ultrasonically rinsed for 5 minutes to prepare the samples.
[0247] One drop each of the first and second parts of dental bonding material (Y) was placed in the same mixing dish, mixed with a microbrush, and then applied to the surface of the sample and left for 10 seconds. The solvent was then removed by air blowing. For dental bonding materials containing a photopolymerization initiator, the dental bonding material (Y) was then cured by irradiating it with light for 10 seconds using a dental LED light irradiator (Ultradent, product name "VALO").
[0248] Next, a separately prepared φ2.38 mm CR filling mold (Bonding Mold Insert, manufactured by Ultradent) was attached to a dedicated tool (Bonding Clamp, manufactured by Ultradent). Next, the CR filling mold attached to the dedicated tool was lowered to fix the sample so that it was in close contact with the surface of the sample where the dental bonding material (Y) had hardened. Next, the dental composite resin (X) prepared in each example and comparative example was thinly filled into the hole in the CR filling mold to a thickness of 1 mm or less. After that, it was filled into the mold again (up to about 2 / 3 of the mold, about 2 mm thick), left for 10 seconds, and then the dental LED light irradiator (Ultradent) was used. The self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) was cured by 10 seconds of light irradiation using a VALO (manufactured by VALO Co., Ltd.). The sample was removed from the mold and used as a test sample for the adhesion test. 20 samples were prepared for each adhesion test. For 10 of the 20 samples, the shear bond strength was measured immediately after leaving them in water at 37°C for 24 hours to evaluate the initial bond strength. For the remaining 10 samples, the shear bond strength was measured after leaving them in water at 37°C for 24 hours and then undergoing 4,000 thermal cycles, each cycle consisting of alternating immersion in cold water at 4°C and hot water at 60°C for 1 minute. The shear bond strength after the thermal cycles, which relates to bond durability, is shown in the table as "Durability." The adhesive strength (shear adhesive strength) was measured by attaching the adhesive test sample to a dedicated holder (Test Base Clamp, manufactured by Ultradent), and using a dedicated jig (Crosshead Assembly, manufactured by Ultradent) and a universal testing machine (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) with a crosshead speed set to 1 mm / min. The average values are shown in the table (n=10).
[0249] Test Example 2: Cavity sealing The occlusal surfaces of human molars were brushed with a toothbrush to remove surface deposits. A cylindrical cavity measuring 4 mm in diameter and 4 mm in depth was created using an air turbine under water using a Mani® Diabur® SF-21 (Mani Corporation). After cavity creation, the root was removed and the tooth tissue was polished from the root side so that a thickness of approximately 2 mm remained from the cavity bottom. The cavity was rinsed with running water and then dried with an air blower. One drop each of the first and second parts of the dental bonding material (Y) was placed in the same mixing dish, mixed with a microbrush, and then applied to the cavity with the microbrush and left for 10 seconds. The solvent was then removed with an air blower. If the dental bonding material (Y) contained a photopolymerization initiator, the dental bonding material was then cured by irradiating it with light for 10 seconds using a dental LED light irradiator (Ultradent, product name "VALO"). Next, a self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) was filled in, left for 10 seconds, and then irradiated with light for 10 seconds using a dental LED light irradiator (manufactured by Ultradent, product name "VALO").
[0250] Eight test samples were prepared for each test. Four of the eight samples were immersed in water at 37°C for 24 hours, and then immediately measured for initial cavity sealing property to evaluate the initial cavity sealing property. The remaining four samples were immersed in water at 37°C for 24 hours, and then subjected to 4,000 thermal cycles, each cycle consisting of alternating immersion in cold water at 4°C and hot water at 60°C for 1 minute, to evaluate the durability of cavity sealing property. The cavity sealing property after the thermal cycles regarding the durability of cavity sealing property is shown in the table as "durability". The measurement method was to measure the cavity sealing property by optical coherence tomography (OCT, IVS-2000, The cavity was observed using a dental hygienist (Santec Co., Ltd.) and the cavity compatibility was evaluated (n=4). The upper half of the cavity was observed from the crown side, and the lower (cavity floor) part was observed from the root side. Samples with no visible cavity delamination were given a score of 0, samples with visible cavity side delamination were given a score of 1, samples with visible cavity floor delamination were given a score of 2, and samples with visible cavity side and floor delamination were given a score of 3. The score with the most samples out of n=4 was used as the evaluation result.

Table 6
[0257] The results in Tables 3 to 5 show that the dental filling kits of the examples had initial bond strengths to dentin of 22 MPa or more and bond durability of 20 MPa or more. The scores for both initial and durability cavity sealing were 1 or less. The dental filling kits of the present invention were excellent not only in initial adhesion and cavity sealing properties to tooth tissue, but also in long-term adhesion and cavity sealing properties to tooth tissue. On the other hand, as shown in Table 6, among the comparative examples, Comparative Example 1, in which the self-adhesive dental composite resin (X) did not contain the monomer (a) having an acidic group, did not exhibit good adhesion and cavity sealing properties to dentin. Comparative Examples 2 to 4, which did not satisfy the constituent requirements of the dental bonding material (Y), did not exhibit good adhesion and cavity sealing properties to dentin. Testing of Comparative Example 5 was not possible because bonding material 22 gelled after preparation. Patent Document 2 discloses a one-component bonding material composition containing a photopolymerization initiator, which corresponds to Comparative Example 5. [Industrial Applicability]
[0258] The dental filling kit of the present invention can be suitably used for filling treatment in dental treatment. The dental filling kit of the present invention has excellent cavity sealing ability even in deep cavities, and can be particularly suitably used for dental filling treatment of deep cavities, such as cavities of 4 mm or more.
