- 6. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds and/or aromatic epoxy compounds and/or aliphatic epoxy compounds are used as constituent (A).
- 7. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds with at least two epoxy groups or cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds with at least four epoxy groups or cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds with two epoxy groups and cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds with at least four epoxy groups are used as constituent (A).
- 8. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that the content of epoxy compounds with at least four epoxy groups in the mixed preparations is 5 to 60 wt. %, preferably 5 to 50 wt. %.
- 9. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that it comprises compounds which are suitable for the formation of Brönsted acids, and in that these are present in an amount such that the concentration of the Brönsted acid optionally employed in free form is 0.1 to 5 wt. %, based on the mixed dental composition.
- 10. Dental composition according to claim 9, characterized in that the Brönsted acids are produced by a redox reaction from bisaryliodonium salts, and that free Brönsted acids are optionally additionally present.
- 11. Dental composition according to claim 10, characterized in that the free Brönsted acids optionally additionally present and the Brönsted acids produced by redox reactions from bisaryliodonium salts are identical, or in that the free Brönsted acids optionally additionally present and the Brönsted acids produced by redox reactions from bisaryliodonium salts are different.
- 12. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that the Brönsted acid or Lewis acid carbenium ions are produced by reaction of alkyl or aryl or mixed alkyaryl halides with metal salts after mixing of the two components.
- 13. Dental composition according to claim 12, characterized in that zinc, iron and/or copper salts are employed as the metal salts.
- 14. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that the anion of the Brönsted acids is chosen from the group consisting of hexafluorophosphate, hexafluoroarsenate, hexafluoroarntimonate, tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate and tetrafluoroborate.
- 15. Dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that the ratio between the component comprising no epoxy compounds and the component comprising epoxy compounds 1:10 to 1:1, and preferably 1:5 to 1:2.
- 16. Process for mixing the dental composition according to claim 5, characterized in that mixing of the two components takes place by dynamic mixing processes or with the air of a static mixer mounted on a double-chamber cartridge.
- 17. A dental composition made by the preparations according to any one of claims 1 to 4.
- 18. A dental composition which comprises epoxy compounds wherein said dental composition cures by cationic polymerization initiated by a Lewis and/or a Brönsted acid and wherein the Lewis and/or the Brönsted acid are employed in the form of precursor compounds which are suitable for the formation of the Lewis and/or the Brönsted acid and are formed by chemical reaction during or after mixing the dental composition.
- 19. Dental models, fillings, temporary crowns, temporary bridges or fixing cements made by the dental composition according to claim 18.
- 20. Dental models, fillings, temporary crowns or bridges of cement made by the dental composition according to claim 17.
