Abstract
Abstract Dimethacrylates are provided having the following chemical structure: <IMAGE> where R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are cyclohexyl or phenyl groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and R3 is an aliphatic cycloaliphatic or aromatic group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms. These compounds are useful in dental material which cures to form polymers having high mechanical strength, low water sorption, resistance to staining, good color stability when exposed to short-wave radiation (e.g., sunlight) and good chemical resistance to the oral environment. Also provided are a method for polymerizing these compounds in situ on teeth and a tooth comprising polymers of these compounds.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for forming a hardened substance on teeth comprising the steps of: (i) applying to said teeth a dental material comprising a polymerizable material, said polymerizable material comprising at least 10% by weight of a dimethacrylate of the chemical structure: ##STR11## where R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and are cyclohexyl or phenyl groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and R 3 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms; and (ii) polymerizing said polymerizable material in situ.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for forming a hardened substance on teeth comprising the steps of: (i) applying to said teeth a dental material comprising a polymerizable material, said polymerizable material comprising at least 10% by weight of a dimethacrylate of the chemical structure: ##STR11## where R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and are cyclohexyl or phenyl groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and R 3 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms; and (ii) polymerizing said polymerizable material in situ.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A tooth comprising a polymer of a dimethacrylate of the following chemical structure: ##STR12## where R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and are cyclohexyl or phenyl groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and R 3 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
A tooth comprising a polymer of a dimethacrylate of the following chemical structure: ##STR12## where R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and are cyclohexyl or phenyl groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and R 3 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
180 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the polymerizable material is a composite restorative material comprising glass or ceramic filler and polymerizable material, said polymerizable material comprising at least one first monomer and at least one second monomer, said first monomer being a dimethacrylate of the following chemical structure: ##STR13## where R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and are cyclohexyl or pheny groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted and R 3 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, said second monomer being a diluent selected from the group consisting of di- and trimethacrylates having from 10 to 18 carbon atoms, said diluent further being selected from the group consisting of alkylene glycol dimethacrylates, polyalkylene glycol dimethacrylates and alkanetriol trimethacrylates. said at least one first monomer constituting at least 20% by weight of said polymerizable material, said at least second monomer constituting at least 10% by weight of said polymerizable material, and the weight ratio of said filler to said polymerizable material being from about 1.5:1 to about 8.5:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the polymerizable material comprises at least 10% by weight of said dimethacrylate, the remainder of said polymerizable material being at least 10% by weight of at least one acrylic methacrylic monomer acceptable for oral application associated with dental treatment.
