A two-package dental adhesive composition is provided that has an excellent adhesive property for each of various dental materials and also has excellent storage stability. The two-package dental adhesive composition includes a first agent and a second agent which are divided from each other. The two-package dental adhesive composition includes at least five components including: (A) an acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer; (B) a sulfur atom-containing polymerizable monomer; (C) a silane coupling agent; (D) a borate compound; and (E) water. The first agent contains only (A) the acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer and (B) the sulfur atom-containing polymerizable monomer out of the five components. The second agent contains only (C) the silane coupling agent, (D) the borate compound, and (E) the water out of the five components.

Dental cement compositions (including two-part compositions), kits, and related methods are used for bonding a dental prosthetic appliance to a tooth. A first part includes an amine activator component and a zinc oxide reactive filler, while a second part includes a polymerization initiator (e.g., benzoyl peroxide) and a polymerizable component having a structure including at least one acrylate or methacrylate group at one end and a carboxylic acid group at another end. A temporary cement composition advantageously exhibits reduced compressive and/or bonding strength relative to permanent cement compositions, which provides sufficient strength to facilitate normal use of the teeth while the provisional appliance is in use, while also facilitating easy removal of the provisional appliance for replacement with a permanent appliance at a later time.

Each of the ceramic fibers of the composite material has a length and where the length of fifty percent of the ceramic fibers, based on a total number of the ceramic fibers, is at least 50 micrometers and the length of ninety percent of the ceramic fibers, based on the total number of the ceramic fibers, is no greater than 500 micrometers. The composite material can also include discrete non-fumed metal oxide nanoparticles. The composite material can be hardened to become any one of a dental restorative, a dental adhesive, a dental mill blank, a dental cement, a dental prostheses, an orthodontic device, an orthodontic adhesive, a dental casting material or a dental coating.

A method of forming a dental composite includes photopolymerizing a dental composition. The dental composition includes a free-radically polymerizable (meth)acrylate resin, 75 percent by weight or greater of filler particles, and about 0.005 percent to about 5 percent by weight of at least one polymerizable stable radical. The photopolymerizing forms the dental composite such that the dental composite has a flexural modulus of about 9500 MPa or greater and the polymerizable stable radical reduces shrinkage stress of the dental composite caused by the photopolymerizing by 10% or greater. A method of forming a dental composite composition includes combining a free-radically polymerizable (meth)acrylate resin, 75 percent by weight or greater of filler particles, and about 0.005 percent to about 5 percent by weight of at least one polymerizable stable radical to form the dental composite composition.
