Provided herein are compositions and kits including trichloroacetic acid, and methods of using the same for debridement during endodontic treatment.

The present invention relates to a dental composition comprising a radically polymerizable compound, a redox initiator system comprising one or more clathrate compounds comprising a host molecule and one or more guest molecules, wherein the host molecule is selected from cyclodextrines, crown ethers, cucurbituriles and calixarenes and the one or more guest molecules are reducing agents, and an oxidizing agent. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a use of the redox initiator system in a dental composition.

This invention relates to printable high strength/toughness polymerizable material systems for making dental products such as artificial teeth, dentures, splints, veneers, inlays, onlays, orthodontic appliances, aligners, copings, frame patterns, crowns and bridges and the like. A DLP, stereolithography, modified or their modification and combination based printer is used to cure polymerizable material in several different methods of this invention to build-up the object. The resulting three-dimensional object has good dimensional stability.

The invention relates to a dental ceramic blank, in particular a filled milling blank, comprising at least one organic Compound, such as a polymer polymerized in the blank, for improving the machining properties of the blank. The blank has an open-pore ceramic microstructure which has 2 to 50 wt. %, based on the total composition of the dental ceramic blank, of at least one organic Compound. The invention also relates to a method for producing the blank. The milling blank according to the invention clearly exhibits improved material properties compared to unfilled purely ceramic milling blanks which have been milled into blanks for molded prosthetic parts in CAD/CAM methods

A method of taking a dental impression of dentition including conditioning a surface comprising one or more of dentition and a dental appliance by the application thereto of a wetting agent to form a controlled hydrophilic wet film. The wetting agent includes water, a surfactant, and an additive. The controlled hydrophilic wet film is hydrophilic and is formed by brushing the wetting agent onto the dentition. The brushing controls the thickness and hydrophilicity of the controlled hydrophilic film to a thickness and hydrophilicity that is capable of inducing flow of an impression material that comes into contact with the controlled hydrophilic film. The flow is sufficient to flow into sub-gingival places. The film is contacted with a dental impression material selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic dental impression materials.
