To provide a glass ionomer cement having excellent removality of the excess cement after setting because of having shape retaining property where a kneaded material does not drip and flow by their own weights, few risk of water sensitivity and excellent operability at the bonding such that excess cement can be removed easily after an application in an oral cavity in an early timing in spite of exhibiting a thin film thickness at the bonding. A dental glass ionomer cement composition for luting comprises at least; a component (a) acid reactive glass powder having an average particle diameter within a range of 4.5 to 7.0 μm, a component (b) polymer of an acid group-containing polymerizable monomer having a weight average molecular weight within a range of 30000 to 100000, a component (c) chelating agent and a component (d) water, wherein a plastic flow distance of a kneaded material before setting is 2 mm or less, and a removal possible time of an excess cement is 2 minutes or less.

The present invention relates to a dental composition comprising a photoinitiator system comprising a particulate carrier supporting a coinitiator covalently bonded to the surface of the carrier. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a use of the particulate carrier in a dental composition.

The particulate carrier displays multiple covalently bonded tertiary amino groups and/or tertiary phosphine groups on the surface, for crosslinking monomers, oligomers and/or polymers having one or more polymerizable double bonds.

A hardenable multi-part acrylic composition having at least two parts that react upon mixing to form a cement, such as bone cement, which hardens to a solid is described that includes storage stable liquid first and second parts, and optionally, further liquid parts. The parts react upon mixing to form a cement that hardens to a solid. The composition includes an acrylic monomer component and an initiator component in an amount effective to polymerize the acrylic monomer component when mixed and/or activated with it. The liquid first part comprises an aqueous dispersion of acrylic polymer particles and acrylic polymer beads. The polymer beads are at an equilibrium water content with the aqueous phase of the dispersion that generally has a viscosity between 10 and 10,000 centipoise. A twin barrelled syringe, caulking gun or other cement mixing and delivery device and a method of producing the composition are also described.
