Abstract

Light-polymerizable dental composition comprising (i) a polymerizable monomer component, (ii) a light-sensitive polymerization initiator, (iii) an inhibitor, (iv) optionally a filler and/or pigment, and (v) optionally a solvent, characterized in that the inhibitor is a substituted fullerene compound present in an amount suitable for improving light stability of the dental composition.

Description

Light-polymerizable dental composition containing an inhibitor
The present invention relates to a light-polymerizable dental composition comprising a specific inhibitor. Moreover, the present invention also relates to the use of specific fullerene compounds in a dental composition.
Light-polymerizable dental compositions comprise a polymerizable monomer, a light- sensitive polymerization initiator, and optionally further components such as an organic or inorganic filler or an organic or inorganic pigment. It is known to use a stabilizer for preventing a composition containing polymerizable acrylates and/or methacrylates from spontaneous polymerization. 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-cresol (BHT), hydroquinone or hydroquinonemonomethylether (HQME) are known as free radical savengers for dental compositions.
Light curing polymerisable dental compositions are usually applied in the presence of substantial irradiation of the environment particularily radiation generated by operating lamps. In order to insure suffciently long working times, international standards require that a dental dental composite remains stable under an illumination of 10.000 lux for 60 seconds (ISO 4049). Dental pit and fissure sealants are required to remain stable under an illumination of 8000 lux for 25 seconds (ISO 6874) and light activated water- based cements are required to remain stable under an illumination of 8000 lux for 30 seconds (ISO 99917-2).
From SU 3,34845 it is known that 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1 -oxide (TEMPO) may be used to inhibit the polymerisation of acrylate. Moreover, it is known to use galvinoxyl radicals, hydroxy-TEMPO and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals as anaerobic polymerization inhibitors (US 5,468,789).
The effect of TEMPO as polymerization inhibitor in polymerizable dental compositions and its influence on the depth of curing is known for light curing restorative materials from W.D. Cook, P.M. Standish, Austr. Dent. J., 28 (1983) 307. Moreover, US 5,847,025 discloses the use of TEMPO and other stable radiclas such as 2,2-Diphenyl- -picrylhydrazyl radicals, galvinoxyl radicals and triphenylmethyl radicals for reducing the light sensitivity of a dental light-curing composite material.
Although many attempts have been made to lengthen the working times under the conditions of a dental practice by choosing a combination of an initiator and an inhibitor, only minor reductions of light sensitivity are obtained without increasing the working times.
Therefore, it is the problem of the present invention to provide a dental composition, which has a sufficiently long working time while still providing an acceptable light sensitivity of the composition and whereby the mechanical properties and the color shading of the dental material are not deteriorated.
This problem is solved according to claim 1 with a light-polymerizable dental composition comprising
(i) a polymerizable monomer component,
(ii) a light-sensitive polymerization initiator,
(iii) an inhibitor,
(iv) optionally a filler and/or pigment, and
(v) optionally a solvent whereby the inhibitor is a substituted fullerene compound present in an amount suitable for improving light stability of the dental composition.
It was found that when a substituted fullerene such as 1 ,2-(dimethoxymethano)- fullerene is added to a dental composition, surprisingly the stability of the composition under an irradiation with 10,000 lux is about 90 seconds. This is more than twice as much as the stability observed with a comparable composition that only comprises BHT as stabilizer which shows a stability under an irradiation with 10,000 lux of only 40 seconds . At the same time, the mechanical properties and the storage stability of the dental composition remain excellent in the presence of the inhibitor of the present invention.
The dental composition of the present invention comprises an inhibitor which is a substituted fullerene compound. The inhibitor may contain one or more substituted fullerene compounds. The substituted fullerene compoundd is preferably soluble in the composition, in particular in the polymerisable monomer. Preferably, the inhibitor is selected from the group of substituted C60, C70, C72, C76, C78, or C84 fullerenes. A substituted fullerene compound according to the invention is derived from an unsubstituted fullerene compound by addition or insertion of substituents to the fullerene cage. The substituents added or inserted to the fulleren cage may be further modified in order to provide the desired substituted fullerene compound used in the dental compositions of the invention. The substituents are preferably able to render the fullerene compound soluble in the composition, in particular in the polymerisable monomer. Moreover, the substituents preferably contribute to the electronic properties of the inhibitor as a radical scavenger. Finally, the substituents preferably are able to modify the fullerene cage such that any chromophores absorbing in the range of visible light are destroyed.
One or more substituents may be present on the fullerene cage whereby it is preferred that at least two substituents are present. In case at least two substituents are present on the fullerene cage , the substituents may be the same or different. The substituents of the substituted fullerenes are preferably selected from the group of substituted or unsubstituted C^o-alkyl groups, C^-alkoxy groups, C1.2o-alkyl-C1.20-alkoxy groups, C,. 20-alkylthio groups, C^o-alkylthio-C^o-alkyl groups, C^oalkylamino groups, C^o- groups or groups. In case the substituents of the fullerene cage are substituted, such substituents may be selected form the group of substituents given as substituents for the fullerene cage. Moreover, such substituents may be selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups, amino groups, thiol groups. In a specific embodiment, one or more substituents of the fullerene cage are substitued with a polymerizable group. The polymerizable group may be selected from acryloyl, C1.20-alkylacryloyl, or C1.20-alkenyl groups.
The substituted fullerenes are added to the dental composition in an amount ranging from 0.001 to 3.0% by weight, preferably in an amount of from 0.01 to 1.0% by weight and most preferably in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight.
The dental composition of the present invention comprises a light-polymerizable monomer component. The light-polymerizable monomer component contains one or more monomer compounds. In case the monomer component contains two or more monomer compounds, the monomer compounds may differ with regard to the molecular weight and/or the number of polymerizable moieties. In a preferred embodiment, a macromonomer and a reactive diluent are used in the polymerizable monomer component.
