Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a filler for dental glass ionomer cements, the filler to a surface of which a compound(s) having a carboxyl group(s) is/are bound via a silicon atom, for the purpose of providing: a filler suitable for dental glass ionomer cements that can provide a hardened cement having a high strength by being mixed with a dental glass ionomer cement composition, the filler that can be easily manufactured from a general inorganic powder as a raw material; and a manufacturing method of the filler for dental glass ionomer cements. The manufacturing method includes binding a carboxylic acid having an unsaturated double bond(s) exclusive of a (meth)acrylate compound to an inorganic powder whose surface is treated with a silane coupling agent having an unsaturated double bond(s).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements comprising, in the order mentioned: treating a surface of an inorganic powder with a silane coupling agent having an unsaturated double bond(s), and binding a carboxylic acid having an unsaturated double bond(s) exclusive of a (meth)acrylate compound, to the inorganic powder whose surface is treated with the silane coupling agent. 2. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to claim 1 , wherein the carboxylic acid having an unsaturated double bond(s) exclusive of a (meth)acrylate compound is one or two or more kinds selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, aconitic acid, angelic acid, citraconic acid, crotonic acid, glutaconic acid, metaconic acid, mesaconic acid, muconic acid, tiglic acid, cinnamic acid, allylmalonic acid, butenoic acid, pentenoic acid, hexenoic acid, octenoic acid, nonenoic acid, decenoic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. 3. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to claim 1 , wherein the binding is carried out in a dispersion medium. 4. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic powder does not react with an acid in the presence of water. 5. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to claim 3 , wherein the inorganic powder reacts with an acid in the presence of water, and the dispersion medium does not include water. 6. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to the claim 1 , wherein a polymerization initiator is used in the binding. 7. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to the claim 6 , wherein a blending amount of the polymerization initiator is in the range of from 0.1 to 3 mass % to the total amount of the inorganic powder treated with the silane coupling agent, the carboxylic acid, and the polymerization initiator. 8. The method for manufacturing a filler for dental glass ionomer cements according to the claim 6 , wherein the polymerization initiator is a thermal polymerization initiator.
