A dental self-adhesive resin cement is provided comprising a two-component system. A first catalyst component includes one or more acidic monomers. A second base component includes one or more basic fillers. The mixture of the first and second components is polymerizable and has an initial pH that is acidic immediately after mixing and a pH of at least about pH 8 after polymerization.

Disclosed are endodontic filling materials and methods. A method for filling a dental root canal may include providing a hydrosetting filling material and inserting the hydrosetting filling material into the dental root canal, the material setting in the root canal to form a biocompatible filling. The hydrosetting filling material comprises a hydrogel former and a filler. The hydrogel former is at least one of a reactive organic hydrogel formers, an inorganic hydrogel formers, and a non-reactive organic hydrogel formers, and the filler is at least one of a self-hardening and a non-hardening filler. Plural filling material precursor compositions that collectively contain hydrogel formers and fillers may be provided.

The present invention is a dental composition comprising a cement component and at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, pure titanium, sodium titanate, and strontium titanate.

A dental device is improved in its ability to produce hydroxyl apatite by having a layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) deposited thereon. A tile of MTA is prepared, heat treated and sintered to produce a micronized tile of MTA that can then be deposited by physical vapor depositions, hot isostatic pressing, molding or other conventional technique.
