Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for generating a dental product or an orthodontic product. The method may comprise (a) providing a mixture comprising (i) a latent ruthenium (Ru) complex; (ii) an initiator; (iii) a sensitizer that sensitizes said initiator; and (iv) at least one polymer precursor; and (b) exposing the mixture to electromagnetic radiation to activate the initiator, wherein upon activation, the initiator reacts with the latent Ru complex to generate an activated Ru complex, which activated Ru complex reacts with the at least one polymer precursor to generate at least a portion of a final product of the dental product or the orthodontic product, wherein the at least the portion of the final product of the dental product or the orthodontic product comprises a polymer generated from the at least one polymer precursor.
