Abstract

Single-solution adhesive resin formulations are made of predominantly dimethacrylates or diacrylates containing (predominantly) two carboxyl groups and a functionalized methacrylate or acrylate diluent monomer. A novel light-activated initiator can be used for photopolymerization of such adhesives.

Claims

1. A kit for bonding a composite resin to enamel, dentin or metal, comprising:

a single-solution formulation which comprises not more than two monomers and an initiator consisting of a photoinitiator, wherein a first of the two monomers is a carboxylic acid monomer and the second of the two monomers is a diluent monomer wherein polymerization of said monomers forms a bond having a shear bond strength of at least 20 MPa; and

a composite resin.

2. The kit of claim 1 further comprising a conditioner for preparing a substrate for binding to the composite resin.

3. The kit of claim 1 wherein the first of the two monomers is pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate PMGDM monomer, and the second of the two monomers is 2-hydroxyethylmethyacrylate 2-HEMA monomer.

4. The kit of claim 3 further comprising a photoinitiator which is 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphine oxide.

5. The kit of claim 3 wherein the pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM) adhesive resin is made by a process comprising:

reacting 1 part pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and greater than 2 parts glycerol dimethacrylate (GDM) to form PMGDM.

11. The kit of claim 1, wherein said photoinitiator is 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenyl phosphine oxide, said acidic monomer is selected from the group consisting of pyromellitic dianhydride-HEMA adduct (PMDM), pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), biphenyl dianhydride-HEMA adduct (BPDM), 3,3′

6. A kit for bonding a composite resin to enamel, dentin or metal, comprising:

a single-solution formulation which comprises not more than two monomers and an initiator consisting of a photoinitiator and a tertiary amine, wherein a first of the two monomers is a carboxylic acid monomer and the second of the two monomers is a diluent monomer wherein polymerization of said monomers forms a bond having a shear bond strength of at least 20 MPa; and

a composite resin.

7. The kit of claim 6, wherein said photoinitiator is selected from the group consisting of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphine oxide and camphorquinone.

8. The kit of claim 6, wherein said tertiary amine is 4-N,N-(dimethylamino) benzoate, said photoinitiator is camphorquinone, said acidic monomer is pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), said diluent monomer is 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (2-HEMA).

9. The kit of claim 6, wherein said photoinitiator is selected from the group consisting of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenyl phosphine oxide and camphorquinone, said tertiary amine is 4-N,N-(dimethylamino) benzoate (4-EDMAB), said acidic monomer is selected from the group consisting of pyromellitic dianhydride-HEMA adduct (PMDM), pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), biphenyl dianhydride-HEMA adduct (BPDM), 3,3′

-4,4′

-tetracarboxylic dianhydride-glycerol dimethacrylate adduct (BDGDM), and 5-(2,5-dioxotetrahydro-3-furanyl)-3-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride-glycerol dimethacrylate adduct (B4400-GDM), said diluent monomer is selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxymethacrylate (2-HEMA), glycerol dimethacrylate (GDM), ethyl-α

-hydroxymethacrylate (EHMA) and tetrahydro furfurylmethacrylate (THFM).
