Dental compositions (e.g., adhesives, cements, primers, sealants, and etchants) and related methods of use are disclosed herein. The dental compositions can include diamond particles. The diamond particles can have an average size of below 10 microns. In some instances, the dental adhesives can act as a one-part dental adhesive, and can be configured to remove portions of the smear layer and act as an adhesive or bonding agent.

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.

A curable and radiopaque substance, a material that can be produced from same via polymerisation, a method for producing the curable substance and the cured material, and the use of the curable substance or the cured material are disclosed. The curable substance or the cured material can be used in, inter alia, orthopaedics as so-called bone cement, in particular as a tooth filling material, dental cement, dental lining material, flowable composite material (flow material) etc., as well as in diagnostic radiology. The invention also relates to the use of the curable substance generally as a construction material in an additive manufacturing process using a digital data model.

A method of diagnosing optical inhomogeneity of a volume scattering object is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a substance coated with phosphorous materials, adapting the substrate to a surface of a volume scattering object to be diagnosed, and trans-illuminating the volume scattering object with radiation. A dental tool including a substrate is also provided. The substrate includes a transparent flexible film or metallic foil with an applied coating of upconversion phosphors, afterglow particles or both.

The invention relates to an arrangement (1) comprising at least one structural element (2) made of an absorbable material with an antibacterial effect with a mount, which possesses an aspect ratio greater than 10 and whereat the material is a rapidly corroding magnesium alloy. The invention further relates to a mount (10) with an arrangement (1) carried by the mount (10) comprising at least one structural element (2) made of an absorbable material with an antibacterial effect.

A method includes introducing an encapsulation material through an opening, such as a decay hole or porosity, in a tooth, the encapsulating material reaching and at least partially encapsulating caries in the tooth.
