Abstract
Dimethacrylates are provided having the following chemical structure: ##STR1## where ##STR2## is a saturated, 6 membered, monocyclic, hydrocarbyl ring system; and R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl or alkoxy groups having 1 to 12 carbon atoms. These compounds are useful in dental material which cures to form polymes having high mechanical strength, low water sorption, resistance to staining, good color stability when exposed to short-wave radiation (e.g., sunlight) and good chemical resistance to the oral environment. Also provided are a method for polymerizing this compound in situ on teeth and a tooth comprising a polymer of this compound.
