Dental applications require high-quality materials that are biocompatible, wear-resistant and durable. Restorative dental materials must withstand the adverse conditions of the oral environment. The selection of monomers, initiators, crosslinkers, ionomers and additives impacts longevity, mechanical characteristics and ultimately the performance of the end product. Besides monomers and other polymerization agents, inorganic materials offer biocompatibility and chemical inertness for dental applications ranging from crowns, caps and cements to additives, elastomers and restorative materials. Adjustment of inorganic constituents allows for tuning of optical and mechanical properties. We offer a large selection of well-characterized, high purity monomers, inorganics and starting materials for a wide range of dental applications.
