A single and dual component dental composite restorative featuring anti-microbial and low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) compounds is disclosed. The exemplary anti-microbial compound is zinc oxide. The CTE of the dental composite restorative is the same as, or substantially similar, to that of dentin. By maintaining a CTE substantially similar to that of dentin, the Margin Percolation phenomenon is minimized, which decreases the incidence of secondary caries.

Disclosed are a gradient resin, a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The gradient resin of the present application is formed by fusing different layers with color transition changes, wherein the color transition change between the two adjacent layers is in the range of 0.1% to 5 20%. The gradient resin is composed of, by mass percentage, 98%-99.99% of a resin powder and 0.01%-2% of a pigment.

The present invention relates to a curable dental material, to a cured dental material producible therefrom by polymerization, to a method for producing the curable or cured dental material and to the use of the curable or cured dental material.

Disclosed herein are antifungal composites, devices, and methods to reduce or prevent a fungus from growing on the antifungal composite. The antifungal composite and devices thereof may include a biocompatible polymer and a Si.sub.3N.sub.4 powder loaded in at least a portion of the biocompatible polymer. The polymer may be a thermoplastic polymer such as a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin and the Si.sub.3N.sub.4 powder may be present in a concentration of about 1 vol. % to about 30 vol. % in the thermoplastic polymer.
