Abstract
Abstract A polymerizable, radiopaque dental composition comprising including: one or more ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable monomer and/or polymer, possibly conventional fillers, pigments, initiators, activators, and thixotropic auxiliary material, as well as, in addition, a heavy-metal fluoride with very low solubility selected from the group consisting of YF3 and complex heavy-metal fluorides having the general formula MIIMIVF6, where MII is a calcium, strontium, or barium ion, and MIV is a titanium, zirconium, or hafniun ion. These filler compositions exhibit excellent X-ray visibility along with excellent optical properties.

A polymerizable, radiopaque dental composition, comprising: at least one ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable substance selected from the group consisting of monomers and polymers; and YF 3 in a range of 5-30% by weight of the total composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A polymerizable, radiopaque dental composition, comprising: at least one ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable substance selected from the group consisting of monomers and polymers; and YF 3 in a range of 5-30% by weight of the total composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A dental composition according to claim 1, which includes at least one of the group consisting of conventional fillers, pigments, and thixotropic auxiliary material, and also includes at least one polymerization initiator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
