More Information
Summary:This invention pertains to compositions useful in dental composites or in other composite materials, particularly to compositions that release fluoride ion and that may be recharged with additional fluoride ion. Chelating monomers and fluoride-releasing compositions are disclosed that may be incorporated into dental composite restorative materials or other dental materials, to produce materials with high fluoride release rates, and high fluoride recharge capability. Such resins may be used in dental restorative materials to help reduce the level of dental caries in patients, particularly the level of caries occurring on the margins of the restorative materials.
