Patent ID: 6849670

Claim:
A photocurable dental restorative comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a polymerizable monomer, (ii) 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator of acylphosphine oxide, and (iii) 200 to 1900 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, wherein the inorganic filler (iii) is a mixed filler of: (A) irregular-shaped inorganic particles having an average particle size of not smaller than 0.1 μm but smaller than 1 μm; (B) spherical inorganic particles having an average primary particle size of not smaller than 0.1 μm but not larger than 5 μm; and (C) fine inorganic particles having an average primary particle size of not larger than 0.1 μm; which are so blended as to satisfy the following mass ratios {circle around (1)} to {circle around (3)}: {circle around (1)} mA/(mB+mC)=0.2 to 3 {circle around (2)} mB/(mB+mC)=0.5 to 0.99 {circle around (3)} mC/(mB+mC) 0.01 to 0.5 where mA, mB and mC are masses of the inorganic particles (A) to (C).
