A dental material having (a) at least one radically polymerizable monomer, (b) at least one radiopaque filler, (c) at least one inorganic filler, (d) at least one composite filler, and (e) at least one initiator for the radical polymerization, wherein the monomer (a) comprises at least one urethane (meth)acrylate, at least one radically polymerizable bisphenol A derivative, optionally at least one polycyclic aliphatic dimethacrylate, optionally at least one monomer which does not fall into one of the groups (a-1) to (a-3) and (a-5), and optionally at least one chain regulator (a-5). The dental material allows the fabrication of esthetically pleasing restorations with only one material.

Disclosed are methods of determining enamel micro-crack and/or microscratch resistance and also methods of identifying compositions that are effective in increasing enamel micro-crack and/or microscratch resistance or evaluating the efficacy of compositions in increasing enamel micro-crack and/or microscratch resistance.

A fluorine coating agent having enhanced dental tubule permeability and coating endurance, and a method for preparing the same. The fluorine coating agent applied on the surface of a tooth is enhanced in abrasion resistance to increase a period of time during which a coating membrane lasts, thereby preventing dental caries. Further, the curing time of the fluorine coating agent can be controlled to allow the agent to permeate and thus block the dental tubule.

The present invention relates to compositions for mineralizing a dental surface, in particular tooth enamel. Methods of mineralizing hypomineralized lesions (including subsurface lesions) in the tooth enamel caused by dental caries, dental corrosion and fluorosis are also provided.

A dental prosthesis and a process for design and manufacturing, incorporating a dental implant framework and veneering overlay that will be designed and manufactured simultaneously and permanently fixated to one another.

The present invention relates to improved complexes of amorphous calcium phosphate and/or amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate stabilised by phosphopeptides/phosphoproteins by addition of stannous ions. These complexes have anticariogenic properties useful to protect tooth structures as they remineralize (repair) early stages of dental caries and have other dental/medical applications (including anti-calculus, anti-erosion/corrosion and anti-dentinal hypersensitivity). Methods of making the complexes of the invention and of treatment or prevention of various dental conditions including dental caries, dental calculus, dental erosion/corrosion and dental hypersensitivity are also provided.
