Abstract
The invention relates to a highly flowable crosslinkable medical or dental composition comprising a crosslinkable compound, a polymerization initiator and a heterogeneous radiopacifier. Also described is a crosslinked polymer composition obtainable by crosslinking said highly flowable, crosslinkable medical or dental composition and the use of said highly flowable crosslinkable medical or dental composition to fill cavities or hollow structures in human or animal subjects.
Claims14
A highly flowable, crosslinkable medical or dental composition, said highly flowable composition comprising a crosslinkable compound, a polymerization initiator and a heterogeneous, solid radiopacifier wherein;
- i. it has a radiopacity of at least 3 mmAl/mm according to ISO 13116-2014,
- ii. it remains a stable dispersion for 30 days at about 37° C., stability referring to less than 1% of the heterogenous solid precipitating,
- iii. it has a flowability >40 mm according to ISO 6876-2012 measured at room temperature (22° C.), and
- iv. the heterogeneous radiopacifier has an average particle size between 1 and 500 nm measured by transmission electron microscopy according to ISO 21363-2020, and
- wherein the composition further comprises water as a solvent, and
- wherein the composition contains 5-70% in weight of the crosslinkable material, 5-60% in weight of the heterogeneous radiopacifier, 5-60% in weight of the suitable solvent, and 0.001-10% in weight of the polymerization initiator.
