Abstract
Recently, dental abhesive resins have been clinically applicable, but more superior adhesive resins are desirable.In this study, we synthesized 6-methacryloxyethyl naphthalene-1, 2, 6-tricarboxylate anhydride(MENTA-126)as one of the methacrylate monomers having both of hydrophillic and hydrophobic groups, and investgated adhesion to tooth of the self-curing methacrylic resin containing of MENTA-126.The results that adhesion of the MENTA-126 resin to tooth had high strength and good stability, clearly showed the prominent adhesion ability of MENTA-126 to tooth.Adhesive strength of the MENTA-126 resin had approximately equal magnitude of the resin containing of 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride(4-META), which have a simular molecular structure to MENTA-126.Therefore, also by us, the effectiveness of the monomer having both hydrophillic and hydrophobic groups on adhesion to tooth was suggested.
