Abstract

The invention relates to a kit of parts for preparing a glass ionomer composition for dental use, the kit comprising a Paste A and a Paste B, Paste A comprising water, acid-reactive inorganic filler A, phyllo silicate(s), Paste B comprising water, poly-acid, non acid-reactive filler B, optionally chelating agent. The invention also relates to a hardenable composition obtainable by combining the pastes of the kit or parts and to the use of such a composition as or for preparing a dental cement, dental filling material, dental core build up material or dental root channel filling material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A kit of parts for preparing a glass ionomer composition for dental use, the kit comprising a Paste A and a Paste B,
Paste A comprising:
water,
acid-reactive inorganic filler A,
phyllo silicate(s), the phyllo silicate being selected from 2:1 layer silicates comprising calcium ions and sodium ions,

Paste B comprising:
water,
polyacid,
non acid-reactive filler B,
optionally chelating agent.

2. The kit of parts of claim 1 , the phyllo silicates being selected from talc-pyrophyllite minerals, smectite minerals, vermiculite minerals, illites minerals, glimmer minerals, mica minerals and mixtures thereof.

3. The kit of parts of claim 1 , the phyllo silicates being selected from montmorillonite, bentonite, hectorite, talc, willemseite, pyrophyllite, stevensite, saponite, sauconite, beidellite, nontronite, volkonskite, phlogopite, biotite, lepidolite, muscovite, illite, glauconite, celadonite, and mixtures thereof.

4. The kit of parts of claim 1 , the phyllo silicate being used in an amount of 0.1 to 30 wt. % with respect to the weight of Paste A.

5. The kit of parts of claim 4 , Paste A being characterized by at least one or more of the following parameters:
density: from 1.5 to 3.0 g/cm 3 ;
pH value: from 5 to 10 determined with a pH indicator for 1 g Paste A dispersed in 10 ml de-ionized water and stirred for 5 min.

6. The kit of parts of claim 1 , Paste B being characterized by at least one or more of the following parameters:
viscosity: from 100 to 50,000 Pa*s at 23° C., measured at a shear rate of 20 s −1 ;
density: from 1.3 to 2.0 g/cm 3 ;
pH value: from 1 to 4 determined with a pH electrode for 1 g of Paste B dispersed in 10 ml de-ionized water and stirred for 5 min.

7. The kit of parts of claim 1 , the water content of the composition obtained when combining Paste A and Paste B being below 30 wt. %.

8. The kit of parts of claim 1 , neither Paste A nor Paste B comprising
at least one or more or all of the following components:
polymerizable component(s) in an amount above about 1 wt. %;
initiator component(s) suitable to cure polymerizable component(s) in an amount above 1 wt. %;
2-hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in an amount above about 0.5 wt. %;

wt. % with respect to the weight of the respective Paste A or Paste B.

9. The kit of parts of claim 1 , being characterized as follows:
Paste A comprising:
water in an amount from 10 to 35 wt. %,
the acid-reactive inorganic filler A in an amount from 50 to 90 wt. %, the acid-reactive inorganic filler A having a mean particle size in the range from 1 to 15 μm and being selected from metal oxides, metal hydroxides, hydroxyapatite, fluoroaluminosilicate glasses and mixtures thereof,
phyllo silicate being a 2:1 layer silicate and being present in an amount from 0.5 to 10 wt. %,

Paste B comprising:
water in an amount from 10 to 45 wt. %,
the polyacid in an amount from 5 to 70 wt. %,
the chelating agent in an amount from 0.1 to 12 wt. %,
the non acid-reactive filler B in an amount from 5 to 70 wt. %, the non acid-reactive filler B having a mean particle size in the range from 0.01 to 15 μm and being selected from quartz, silica, alumina, titania, zirconia and mixtures thereof,

wt. % with respect to the weight of the respective Paste A or Paste B,
neither Paste A nor Paste B comprising polymerizable component(s) in an amount above 1 wt. % with respect to the weight of the composition obtained when mixing Paste A and Paste B.

10. A hardened composition for dental use, the hardened composition being obtainable or as obtained by mixing Paste A and Paste B of the kit of parts described in claim 1 , letting the mixture harden, the hardened composition being characterized by at least one or more of the following parameters:
Flexural strength: above 20 MPa determined according to EN-ISO 9917-2:2010;
Compressive strength: above 60 MPa determined according to EN-ISO 9917-1/2007.

11. A device for storing the kit of parts of claim 1 , the device comprising two compartments, Compartment A and Compartment B, Compartment A containing Paste A and Compartment B containing Paste B, Paste A and Paste B as described in claim 1 , Compartment A and Compartment B both comprising a nozzle or an interface for receiving an entrance orifice of a static mixing tip.

12. A method for preparing a glass ionomer cement, the method comprising:
providing a kit of parts of claim 1 ,
contacting Paste A with Paste B to provide the glass ionomer cement.

13. A method of preparing a glass ionomer cement paste composition, the method comprising:
providing a phyllo silicate selected from 2:1 layer silicates comprising calcium ions and sodium ions, water, and an acid-reactive inorganic filler,
mixing the phyllo silicate, water, and acid-reactive inorganic filler to provide the glass ionomer cement paste composition.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the glass ionomer cement is a dental cement, a dental filling material, a dental core build-up material, or a dental root channel filling material.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising hardening the glass ionomer cement.
