| | Dental cement hardened by a carboxyl group-modified silicone oil and a hardening accelerator - Patent 5108506 |
 | | %, based on the constituents of the dental cement, of a carboxyl group-modified silicone oil as a hardening liquid which exhibits a hardening effect to dental surfaces and an effective amount of a hardening accelerator, wherein the hardening accelerator is a metallic oxide and/or a metallic hydroxide. |
 | | Although it is not academically ascertained why the favorable result comes up, one approach indicates that the hardening derives from the chelation taking place between the carboxylic group in the carboxyl-modified silicone oil and the metals in the metallic oxide and/or the metallic hydroxide. |
 | | As is evident from the foregoing description, the cement of the present invention contains carboxyl-modified silicone oil for a hardening liquid, thereby eliminating the possibility of stimulating the tooth pulps and enhancing the confining ability and the biological compatibility. |
