SELF-LUBRICATING ABRASION RESISTANT MATERIAL AND PRODUCTS

摘要

Dental composition and prosthesis including a self-lubricating abrasion resistant material. The dental compo-sition is used to form dental products having an outersurface with a low kinetic coefficient of friction. Thedental products formed are abrasion resistant and self-lubricating across their entire cross sections. The self-lubricating material preferably includes polyethyleneparticles having a molecular weight of at least 1,000,000,and a particle size less than 80 microns and/or siliconcontaining compounds. The composition is formed into adental prosthesis, such as an artificial tooth, inlay,onlay, facing, crown or bridge.
