Patent ID: 8727775

Claim:
A ternary polymerizable dental composition comprising (a) a dimer acid-derived dimethacrylate monomer; (b) a first comonomer that is incapable of acting as a hydrogen-bond donor; and (c) a second comonomer that is capable of acting as a hydrogen-bond donor; wherein the dimer acid-derived dimethacrylate monomer is selected from one of the group consisting of (3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl) bis(2-methylacrylate) (DADMA), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(oxy))bis(carbonyl))bis-(azanediyl))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (DANHDMA), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(oxy))bis(carbonyl))-bis(oxy))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (DAHEMA), bis(2-hydroxy-3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl) 9,9′-(3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)dinonanoate (BOHDDMA), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(azanediyl))bis(carbonyl))bis(oxy))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (HEMA/DDI), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(azanediyl))bis(carbonyl))bis(oxy))bis(3-phenoxypropane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (mono-BisGMA/DDI) and oligomeric BisGMA/DDI; the first comonomer that is incapable of acting as a hydrogen-bond donor is selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA); and the second comonomer that is capable of acting as a hydrogen-bond donor is selected from the group consisting of 2,2-bis[p-(2′-hydroxy-3′-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]-propane (BisGMA), urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(oxy))bis(carbonyl))bis(azanediyl))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (DANHDMA), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(azanediyl))bis(carbonyl))bis(oxy))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (HEMA/DDI), (((((3-heptyl-4-pentylcyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl))bis(azanediyl))bis(carbonyl))bis(oxy))bis(3-phenoxypropane-2,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (mono-BisGMA/DDI), and oligomeric BisGMA/DDI; and wherein the dimer acid-derived dimethacrylate monomer is different than the second comonomer.
