Organosilicon compound and dental composition containing same

Abstract

The present invention provides a dental composition that shows improved adhesive properties to dental restoration materials such as porcelain, as well as tooth structure, and that is suited for reducing property changes during storage. The present invention relates to a dental composition comprising an organosilicon compound (A) represented by the following general formula (1), Z—Xm—Y—SiR1nR2(3-n)  (1) wherein Z represents a (meth)acryloyloxy group, a (meth)acrylamide group, a mercapto group, or an epoxy group, X represents a divalent organic group with a ratio C/O of 1 to 3, where C is the total number of carbon atoms, and O is the total number of oxygen atoms, Y represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, R1 represents a group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an aryl group, and an aralkyl group, R2 represents a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group, m represents an integer of 1 to 8, and n represents 0, 1, or 2, and wherein R1, R2, and X each may be the same or different when R1, R2, or X is plural.
