Base material arrangements having at least two layers can accommodate the addition of antifungal material (nanofiller), such as in denture base resin without significantly compromising the mechanical properties and/or translucency of the base material arrangements. Antifungal agents such as nanosilver and nanozirconia can be used to modify a surface layer of the material arrangements, such as the denture base, to overcome certain known shortcomings of the modified materials, e.g., typical acrylic resins containing nanosilver and nanozirconia.

Provided herein is a method of making a flexible partial denture, which may include: (a) producing a partial denture base by additive manufacturing (e.g., bottom-up or top-down stereolithography) from a dual cure resin, with the dual cure resin comprising a light polymerizable component and a heat polymerizable component, with the denture base including at least one tooth socket; (b) inserting an acrylic artificial tooth into each at least one tooth socket to produce an assembled intermediate product; and then (c) baking said assembled intermediate product for a time sufficient to cure said heat polymerizable component in said denture base and retained dual cure resin, bond said tooth into each at least one socket with said retained dual cure resin, and produce said flexible partial denture. A flexible partial denture produced and resin formulations useful for the same are also provided.

A method that includes the step of using a person's fingers to push a dental composition into engagement with a damaged tooth surface of a damaged tooth thereby adhering the dental composition to the damaged tooth surface and covering at least a portion of the damaged tooth surface. The dental composition includes a base material comprising at least one of the following compounds chosen from the group consisting of: a product consisting of one or more hydrocarbon-based waxes that may also include inorganic fillers and/or organic fillers; an uncured, uncrosslinked silicone high consistency rubber base; and a hydrophobic water insoluble solid material. The base material has a coating composition on one or more surface of the base material wherein the coating composition comprises: one or more desensitization ingredient and at least one dry, powdered hydrophilic polymeric substance.

Metal-containing methacrylates incorporated into polymeric materials with antimicrobial capacity for biomedical applications, and more particularly for dental purposes, are provided. The incorporation of metal-containing methacrylates such as calcium methacrylate, tin methacrylate, copper methacrylate, silver methacrylate, in combination or alone, for potentializing antimicrobial effect of cements, in particular, to biomaterial compositions including metal containing methacrylates, such as calcium, tin, copper, silver, nickel, titanium and iron methacrylates, in the formulation of biomaterials for applications in human health provides advantages, particularly in dentistry, and allows for expressive antimicrobial activity to dental compositions, so as to be useful in dental prosthesis, operative dentistry, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, implantodontics, and endodontics.
