Tooth filling material with specific ingredients for curing
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240016706A1) describes a curable mixture of ingredients designed for use as a tooth filling material. The mixture includes a water-soluble acrylate-based monomer, a water-soluble acrylamide-based monomer, a water-soluble chelating monomer, or a combination of these, along with a free-radical polymerization initiator, a radiopaque material, and an aqueous carrier. The ingredients are carefully selected to provide the mixture with suitable properties for tooth filling after curing through polymerization initiated by the free-radical initiator. The patent also covers variations in the composition, including different types of monomers, initiators, and radiopaque materials, to tailor the properties of the curable mixture for specific applications.
Furthermore, the patent application extends to an obturation material for radiopaque tooth filling, provided in two or more liquid parts, with specific compositions of water-soluble acrylate-based and acrylamide-based monomers, a radiopaque material, a free-radical polymerization initiator, and an aqueous carrier. The obturation material is designed to be curable in a tooth through polymerization initiated by the ingredients, with specific viscosity requirements for the liquid parts. The patent also covers methods of preparing hydrogels, filling teeth and root canals, and forming hydrogel polymers within root canals using the described curable mixtures and obturation materials. Overall, the patent application outlines a comprehensive approach to developing materials for effective and durable tooth fillings and root canal treatments, emphasizing the importance of specific ingredient compositions and curing processes for optimal results.
