Abstract
Abstract An acid and a water-soluble film former are used as a primer for hard tissue (e.g., dentin). The acid has a pK a less than or equal to that of phenol and the acid and its calcium salt(s) are soluble in the film former. The primer is free of adhesively detrimental quantities of calcium salts that are not soluble in the film former.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 25
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A method for adhering to or coating dentin, comprising the steps of: (a) applying to said dentin adhesively effective amounts of an acid and a water-soluble film former, without forming adhesively detrimental quantities of calcium salts that are not soluble in said film former, said acid having a pK a less than or equal to that of phenol and said acid and its calcium salt(s) being soluble in said film former, and (b) hardening said film former.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
77 words
A method for adhering to or coating dentin, comprising the steps of: (a) applying to said dentin adhesively effective amounts of an acid and a water-soluble film former, without forming adhesively detrimental quantities of calcium salts that are not soluble in said film former, said acid having a pK a less than or equal to that of phenol and said acid and its calcium salt(s) being soluble in said film former, and (b) hardening said film former.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein water, said acid and said film former are concurrently applied as an aqueous mixture to said dentin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said acid has a pK a between about -10 and about +10.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein said acid has a pK a between about -7 and about +5.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said calcium salt(s) of said acid have a solubility in said film former of at least about 10 -1 M.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said acid comprises carboxylic acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said acid comprises sulfonic acid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said acid is selected from the group consisting of alkylsulfonic acids, arylsulfonic acids, trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, tribromoacetic acid and maleic acid.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
65 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said film former contains one or more substances having a sufficient number of water-solubilizing groups to render said film former, exclusive of any water that may be present therein, soluble in water to at least 5 weight percent, such water-solubilizing groups being selected from hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, sulfonic acid groups, cationic salts, amide linkages and polyether linkages.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said film former contains one or more addition-polymerizable substances having one or more hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups or sulfonic acid groups.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said film former comprises a mixture of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate and water.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
109 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein said acid has a pK a between about -7 and about +5, said calcium salt(s) of said acid have a solubility in said film former of at least about 10 -1 M, said film former contains one or more addition-polymerizable substances having one or more hydroxyl groups, and prior to hardening said film former, readily volatile solvents are removed therefrom to leave a residual film that is then overcoated with an additional film former that forms a homogeneous solution when combined with said residual film, said residual film and said additional film former being hardened using an autocuring or lightcuring polymerization catalyst.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method according to claim 12, wherein said additional film former comprises a copolymerizable mixture of Bis-GMA and a hydrophilic monomer selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate, hydroxypropylmethacrylate and methacrylic acid, and said polymerization catalyst comprises a photoinitiator.

Claim 16
Dependent Claim
77 words
A primer film, said film lying on the surface of hard human or animal tissue, and comprising a mixture of adhesively effective amounts of an acid and a water-soluble film former, said acid having a pK a less than or equal to that of phenol and said acid and its calcium salt(s) being soluble in said film former, said mixture being free of adhesively detrimental quantities of calcium salts that are not soluble in said film former.
