The present invention relates to a composition of an intracanal medication agent for medicating root canals for a predetermined period of time. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided an intracanal medication composition based on a calcium hydroxide component, comprising: calcium hydroxide or a calcium hydroxide producing component as a powder component; and at least one of diethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGEE) as a liquid component.

A zirconia ceramic material for use in dental applications is provided comprising an yttria-stabilized zirconia material stabilized with 5 mol % yttria to 8 mol % yttria, and methods for making a sintered body from the ceramic material. The zirconia ceramic materials exhibit both enhanced translucency and a flexural strength of at least 300 MPa, or at least 500 MPa, when fully sintered.

A dental post made from a zirconia compound, wherein said zirconia compound is at least one of a pure zirconia puck, a zirconia stabilized with yttria (yttrium oxide) compound, a cubic zirconia compound, a Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) compound, a Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (TZP) compound and a Zirconium based bulk metallic glass (BMG).

The present invention relates to a composition for a single-paste type hydraulic endodontic filling material comprising dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a single-paste type hydraulic endodontic filling composition, comprising a calcium silicate component and DMSO.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a single paste type hydraulic dental filling composition. The single paste type hydraulic dental filling composition includes hydraulic cement, non-aqueous liquid having hygroscopic properties, and a radiopaque material.

Disclosed are biomimetic mineral based endodontic cement compositions. An endodontic cement comprises a paste A and a paste B. The paste A comprises a pozzolanic cementitious mineral paste and the paste B is a mixture comprising polyanionic polymers, phosphates, cement setting modulators, host-inclusion particles, bioactive glasses, and radiopacity agents suspended in a liquid carrier.

Provided are dental articles, and methods of making articles, having an aesthetic inorganic coating based on zirconia at least partially stabilized with yttrium oxide, calcium oxide, cerium oxide, or magnesium oxide. Stabilized zirconia coatings were found to provide a smooth, low friction surface having high abrasion resistance. These coatings are particularly applicable to orthodontic appliances. While virgin stabilized zirconia coatings can often have an undesirable color cast, it was discovered that this color cast can be substantially eliminated by heat treating the coated appliance in an oxygenated environment. The combination of depositing a stabilized zirconia coating and subsequently heat treating to decolorize the coating provides a surprisingly robust, stable, low-friction coating that is also aesthetic.

A dental composition comprising: a) about 1 to about 80% by weight of particulate material including: (i) calcium silicate, calcium aluminate, tetracalcium aluminoferrite, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, silica, alumina, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, or mixtures thereof; wherein the particulate material has an average particle size of less than 40 microns; and b) about 1 to about 50% by weight liquid carrier including: (i) water-soluble polymer, and (ii) water.

A temporary root canal sealer dispersion having a pH of at least 9 and comprising: (i) an aqueous dispersion medium comprising an oligomer and/or polymer having Lewis basic groups, and optionally a hydroxide of an alkali metal and/or a hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal, and (ii) a dispersed phase comprising a radio-opaque filler, wherein the weight ratio of oligomer and/or polymer having Lewis basic groups to hydroxide of an alkali metal and/or hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal is at least 0.5 when said aqueous dispersion medium comprises a hydroxide of an alkali metal and/or a hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal.

The present invention relates to a dental zirconia material of which the surface is modified by plasma treatment, an implant, and a method for preparing same. The zirconia material and the implant prepared according to the present invention have improved cell adhesion and anti-bacterial effect, and thus can exhibit improved biocompatibility and minimize an inflammatory response of a user and the like.
