A dental appliance including a polymeric shell with an arrangement of cavities configured to receive one or more teeth and a coating on at least portion of the polymeric shell. The coating can include a polyester with an ion exchange functional group covalently bonded thereto, and the ion exchange functional group can release in an oral environment at least one therapeutically beneficial ion at a surface of a tooth.

The present invention provides a dental adhesive material kit that has desirable adhesive properties for tooth structure, and that, while ensuring appropriate strength, enables easy removal of excess cement in a semi-cured state created by temporarily applying light to excess portions of cement with a photoirradiator. The present invention relates to a dental adhesive material kit comprising a dental aqueous adhesive composition (A) and a dental curable composition (B), and satisfying the following formula (I)

0≤t2−t1≤3.0  (I),

wherein t1 (min) represents a contactual polymerization start time of the dental aqueous adhesive composition (A) and the dental curable composition (B), and t2 (min) represents a polymerization start time of the dental curable composition (B).
