To provide a dental root canal-filling composition which is generally
formed in a point shape, has high strength, is properly deformed so as to
afford easy operativity for filling in a root canal, has improved wetting
and adhering properties with a root canal-filling sealer and is less
deteriored by sterilization or chemical disinfection, the dental root
canal-filling composition comprises one or more kinds of polyolefin
resins selected from the group of polyethylene, polypropylene, and a
copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene, a styrene block copolymer,
one or more kinds of thermoplastic resins selected from the group of
ester gum, rosin, an alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon resin, a terpene
resin, and an aliphatic petroleum resin, and one or more kinds of
inorganic fillers selected from the group of zinc oxide, barium sulfate,
zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, ytterbium fluoride, a barium glass, and
an aluminosilicate glass.
