Dental composition

Abstract

Dental cement composition comprising a polymerizable polyacidic polymer having repeating units in the polymer backbone, which are represented by the following formula (I)1 (II), and/or (III): wherein X represents O, S, or NR′, whereby R′ represents a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl group, C3-C6 cycloalkyl group, or C4-C8 cycloalkylalkyl group, Y a group of the following formula (IV), wherein each of L1, L2, L3 and L4, which are independent from each other represents a single bond, a straight or branched C1-C6 alkylene group, a straight or branched C1-C6 alkenylene, or a straight or branched C1-C20 alkylene group which includes 1 to 8 atoms selected from oxygen and sulfur atoms, X′ represents O, S, or NR″, whereby R″ represents a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl group, C3-C6 cycloalkyl group, or C4-C8 cycloalkylalkyl group, m is 0 to 3, and n is 1 to 3.
