Dentistry - Polymer-based restorative materials (ISO 4049:2019)

This document specifies requirements for dental polymer-based restorative materials supplied in a form
suitable for mechanical mixing, hand-mixing, or intra-oral and extra-oral external energy activation,
and intended for use primarily for the direct or indirect restoration of the teeth and for luting.
The polymer-based luting materials covered by this document are intended for use in the cementation
or fixation of restorations and appliances such as inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and bridges. This
document does not cover those polymer-based luting materials that have an adhesive component within
the structure of the material (see ISO/TS 16506).
The document does not cover polymer-based materials intended to prevent caries (see ISO 6874), core
materials or those used for veneering metal sub-frames (see ISO 10477).

Zahnheilkunde - Polymerbasierende Restaurationswerkstoffe (ISO 4049:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an zahnärztliche polymerbasierende Restaurations¬werkstoffe fest, die in geeigneter Form zum mechanischen Mischen, Handmischen oder zur intraoralen und extraoralen äußeren Energieaktivierung vorgesehen sind und die hauptsächlich für direkte oder indirekte Restaurationen der Zähne und für Befestigungen vorgesehen sind.
Die polymerbasierenden Befestigungswerkstoffe, die in diesem Dokument beschrieben werden, sind für die Zementierung oder Befestigung von Restaurationen und Anwendungen wie Inlays, Onlays, Verblendungen, Kronen und Brücken vorgesehen. Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für polymerbasierende Befestigungswerkstoffe, die eine adhäsive Komponente in der Struktur des Werkstoffes aufweisen (siehe ISO/TS 16506).
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für polymerbasierende Werkstoffe, die zur Kariesprophylaxe (siehe ISO 6874), als Kernwerkstoffe oder zur indirekten Verblendung von Metallgerüsten (siehe ISO 10477) vorgesehen sind.

Art dentaire - Produits de restauration à base de polymères (ISO 4049:2019)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux produits dentaires de restauration à base de polymères fournis sous une forme convenant pour le mélange mécanique, manuel, ou à polymérisation intrabuccale et extrabuccale par énergie externe, et prévus en premier lieu pour être utilisés pour des restaurations directes ou indirectes des dents et pour des scellements.
Les produits de scellement à base de polymères couverts par le présent document sont prévus pour une utilisation dans le collage ou la fixation de restaurations et de dispositifs tels que les inlays, onlays, facettes, couronnes et ponts (bridges). Le présent document ne couvre pas les produits de scellement à base de polymères qui contiennent un composant adhésif dans la structure du produit (voir l'ISO/TS 16506).
Il ne traite pas des produits à base de polymères destinés à la prévention des caries (voir l'ISO 6874), des produits pour masse ou de ceux utilisés pour le revêtement des bases en métal (voir l'ISO 10477).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 1, Filling
and restorative materials.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 4049:2009), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the test for sensitivity to ambient light has been changed because a filter used in the current test
was not available;
— the test for radio-opacity has been updated to refer to ISO 13116;
— luting materials no longer have to conform to the requirement for depth of cure;
— the manufacturer is now required to publish details of material composition, see Clause 8;
— several minor changes have been made to clarify content together with editorial changes.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

4 Classification
4.1 Type
For the purposes of this document, dental polymer-based restorative materials are classified into the
following types.
— Type 1: Polymer-based restorative materials claimed by the manufacturer as suitable for
restorations involving occlusal surfaces;
— Type 2: All other polymer-based restorative materials, and luting materials.
4.2 Class
The three classes of dental polymer-based restorative materials are as follows:
— Class 1: Materials whose setting is effected by mixing an initiator and activator (“Self-curing”
materials).
— Class 2: Materials whose setting is effected by the application of energy from an external source,
such as blue light or heat, (“external-energy-activated” materials, see also Table 4, items 9 and 20).
They are subdivided as follows:
1) Group 1: Materials whose use requires the energy to be applied intra-orally;
2) Group 2: Materials whose use requires the energy to be applied extra-orally. When fabricated,
these materials will be luted into place.
Certain materials may be claimed by manufacturers to be both Group 1 and Group 2. In this event
the material shall fulfil the requirements for both groups.
NOTE Class 2 luting materials fall into Group 1 only.
— Class 3: Materials that are cured by the application of external energy, and also have a self-curing
mechanism present (“dual-cure” materials).
5 Requirements
5.1 Biocompatibility
For guidance on biocompatibility see ISO 7405 and ISO 10993-1.
5.2 Physical and chemical properties
5.2.1 General
If a restorative material is supplied by the manufacturer in various shades, each shade, including opaque
shades, shall be capable of satisfying all the requirements for sensitivity to the dental operating light

class. If the material is supplied such that it can be “tinted” or “blended” to the user’s prescription, the
material shall conform to the requirements both when used alone and when used with the maximum
recommended proportion of tint or blender (see Table 4, item 19). Depth of cure (5.2.8) of luting
materials shall not be tested.
Colour stability (5.4) of luting materials shall not be tested unless the manufacturer claims such a
property.
In respect of the other requirements of 5.2 and those of 5.5, only one representative shade of restorative
materials shall be tested. This representative shade shall be either that classified by the manufacturer
as “Universal” or, in the event that no shade is so classifi
