The present invention provides a composition for dental attachments that exhibits excellent adhesive properties to uncut enamel without carrying out a pretreatment with, for example, a dental adhesive after etching with phosphoric acid or the like, and that has more than a certain level of mechanical characteristics, and enables a simplified bonding procedure for dental attachments. The present invention relates to a composition for dental attachments that comprises a polymerizable monomer (A), a photopolymerization initiator (B), and a filler (C), the polymerizable monomer (A) comprising a polymerizable monomer (A-1) having an acidic group, and a polymerizable monomer (A-2) having no acidic group, the content of the polymerizable monomer (A-1) having an acidic group being 1 to 40 parts by mass in total 100 parts by mass of the polymerizable monomer (A), the content of the filler (C) being 50 to 90 parts by mass in total 100 parts by mass of the composition.

The disclosed technology provides improved adhesive composition of use with dentures. These improved compositions include (a) a cross linked poly(acrylic) acid polymer, in combination with (b) a carbomethylcellulose (CMC) component and/or (c) an adherence promoting component. The compositions balance the many competing goals for effective denture adhesives, including adhesive strength and dispensing viscosity, without the need for zinc.

A biocompatible composite material for controlled release is disclosed, comprising a biocompatible metal oxide structure with a loaded network of pores. The pore network of the biocompatible composite material is filled with a uniformly distributed biologically active micellizing amphiphilic molecule, the size of these pores ranging from about 0.5 to about 100 nanometers. The material is characterized in that when exposed to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the controlled release of the active amphiphilic molecule is predominantly diffusion-driven over time.
