| Summary: | A method of restoring a tooth includes applying a dental adhesive to the tooth, wherein the dental adhesive is self-curing and includes a redox initiator. Before the self-curing dental adhesive cures, there is applied to the tooth a curable dental restorative material, wherein the curable dental restorative material includes at least one polymerizable monomer having an acidic moiety selected from the group consisting of
1
and V. salts of I, II, III or IV. The curable dental material further includes a thermal redox initiator or a photoinitiator. The method also includes curing the dental adhesive and the curable dental restorative material substantially simultaneously; such that after curing, the dental restorative material has an adhesion to dentine of greater than about 7 MPa. |
