Compositions "Nanosilica – Mineral Fillers – Epoxy Resin" For OutClinical Dental Prevention and Self-Treatment of Carious and Traumatic Dental Damages

Abstract

In our new experimental works, the existence of highly filled epoxy-mineral compositions capable of filling and restoring damages of teeth, outside of clinical conditions, is shown. These hypotheses found confirmation in the obtained results of dental repair on volunteers. The tooth powders and epoxy-composites from cheap available components, for use by non-specialists in domestic and non-clinical conditions – were developed and proposed. These results will be very useful for people and communities who, for various reasons (wars, out-cities, voyages, poverty, workload), are left without access to quality dental services.

"Epoxy Compositions as a Material for Effective Self- Restoration of Carious and Traumatic Damage to Teeth and Strengthening of Old Fillings. First Experience"

“…The Chuiko Institute of Surface Chemistry was among the first institutions in the world to create its own Laboratory of Biocompatible Materials. It developed some of the first photopolymer highly filled compositions for prosthetics and filling in the USSR and the world, documented in a number of articles, patents and dissertations [1][2][3]. Accordingly, the Ukrainian SSR and then Ukraine became the place for the first introduction of both innovative photopolymer dental pastes (Oxomat, Stomadent, Esta, etc.)…”

“…Our experience has shown that this is possible when using ordinary available epoxy resins. The prospects for self-restoration with epoxy materials were described in general terms for the first time in our first publications [1][2][3], and above all in this publication [4].…”
