The present invention relates to a dental composition including cement and a non-aqueous liquid, wherein the cement includes a first domain including alite, a second domain including belite, and a matrix located between one or more selected from the group consisting of the first domain and the second domain and configured to include silicon (Si)-atom-doped tricalcium aluminate (3CaO.Al.sub.2O.sub.3). A dental hydraulic composition according to the present invention is a single ointment-type composition, and is thus easy to use and exhibits a good aesthetic appearance, high curability and high biocompatibility.

A dental prosthesis system, for the use with at least two dental implants, wherein the dental prosthesis is divided in a first prosthetic part and a second prosthetic part, jointed by a prosthetic screw, and wherein the first prosthetic part is connected to the dental implants through at least two connectors, and such dental prosthesis has an engaging and guidance system, including two female elements, disposed on the top of the first prosthetic part, and two corresponding male elements, disposed on the bottom of the second prosthetic part, whereby the connection between the two female elements and the two male elements is releasable. The problems solved in the prior art are related to a bending moment derived from masticatory forces. The solution comprises installing a mechanical weakness in the prosthesis to protect the bone tissue.

A dental filling material or precursor thereof for use in therapy, which material comprises lithium and is capable of releasing lithium under physiological conditions.

Provided is a curable composition that has a sufficient pot life and does not cause a significant delay in curing time even after long-term storage at room temperature or higher. A separately packed curable composition includes: (A) a first pack containing: (a1) a polymerizable monomer having no acidic group, (b) a polymerizable monomer having an acidic group, and (c) a transition metal compound; and (B) a second pack containing: (a2) a polymerizable monomer having no acidic group, (d) an aromatic amine compound, and (e) at least one compound selected from sulfinic acid and a salt thereof.

A dental pulp capping composition can comprise a particulate base material which is non-toxic, and capable of forming a structural capping matrix; and a particulate setting material which is non-toxic, water-soluble, biocompatible, and capable of setting the composition. Optional growth factors can also be introduced into the composition to facilitate dental tissue repair. A complimentary method of restoring damaged tooth features can comprise removing diseased and/or damaged portions of the tooth to expose a prepared tooth region. Water can be added to the dental pulp capping composition to form a workable coherent paste. The workable coherent paste can be introduced into the prepared tooth region. The workable coherent paste can then be shaped within the prepared tooth region and then set to form a rigid biomimetic structure within the prepared tooth region.
