Dental composition

Dental composition comprising

• (i) one or more di- or polyepoxides:
• (ii) a compound of the following formula (I)
• wherein
• L is a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, which may be substituted by one or more fluorine atoms, a hydroxyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, a C1-6 alkylthio group, a C6-10 aryl group, a C6-10 aryloxy group, a C7-14 arylalkyl group, or a C7-14 arylalkoxy group;
• at least one of A1, A2, and A3, represents CH, and the remaining groups are a group C—R1;
• at least three of X1, X2, X3, Y1, Y2, and Y3, represent CH2, and the remaining groups are a CHR2-group, a CR3R4-group, or a C═NR5-group;
• and
• n is 0 or 1;
• wherein
• R1 is a fluorine atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a C1-6 alkyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, a C1-6 alkylthio group, a C6-10 aryl group, a C6-10 aryloxy group, a C7-14 arylalkyl group, or a C7-14 arylalkoxy group;
• and
• R2 is a fluorine atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a C1-6 alkyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, a C1-6 alkylthio group, a C6-10 aryl group, a C6-10 aryloxy group, a C7-14 arylalkyl group, or a C7-14 arylalkoxy group;
• R3 and R4 which may be the same or different, independent from each other represent a fluorine atom, a C1-6 alkyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, a C1-6 alkylthio group, a C6-10 aryl group, a C6-10 aryloxy group, a C7-14 arylalkyl group, or a C7-14 arylalkoxy group, or R3 and R4 may be linked together and forming together with the carbon atom to which they are bonded a 3 to 6-membered saturated hydrocarbon ring;
• R5 is a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a C1-6 alkyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, a C6-10 aryl group, a C6-10 aryloxy group, a C7-14 arylalkyl group, or a C7-14 arylalkoxy group;
• provided that when n is 0, then at least one of R1, R2, R3/R4 and R5, is present.
