A dental composition comprising a pre-reacted particulate mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) dispersed in a polymer matrix wherein the content of MTA in the composition is in the range of 20 to 50 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

The invention relates to the application of a composition containing recombinant amelogenin and propylene glycol alginate (“PGA”) on to cut dentin tubules followed by installation of a definitive restorative in a single visit.

Disclosed is a method for filling a root canal in a tooth. The method includes positioning a fiber in the root canal of the tooth, filling at least a portion of the root canal with an unset hydrogel composition, such that the unset hydrogel composition contacts at least a portion of the fiber, setting the hydrogel composition, thereby forming a set hydrogel, and removing the fiber from the set hydrogel, thereby leaving a channel in the set hydrogel. Methods and kits for repairing teeth are also described.

The present invention relates to bioceramics obtained from shark teeth, either from tooth enamel, dentine, or a mixture of both, for its use in the treatment of hard tissue injuries or pathologies. The invention can also be used in a dentifrice or mouthwash for the prevention of dental caries, remineralization of teeth or to inhibit dental sensitivity.

The endodontic point containing ultrasonic deformable material is a filler for root canal therapy that decreases in viscosity when subjected to ultrasonic waves. Once the point is inserted into a prepared tooth space, such as a prepared and cleaned root canal, the point is subjected to ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves cause the viscosity of the point to lower, thus allowing the point to flow into voids in the tooth space and allow air to escape from the voids. The point then hardens and remains in the shape acquired when at low viscosity once application of the ultrasonic waves is stopped.
