Abstract

A dental material based on an organic polymerisable binding agent has a content of A) one or more mixed apatites of the type A1) A.sub.10 (XO.sub.4).sub.6 Z.sub.2 +/B*.sub.10-u C*.sub.u (Y*).sub.6 Z'.sub.2 and/or A2) A'.sub.10-r (X'O.sub.4).sub.6-s Z'.sub.2-t +/B'.sub.r (Y').sub.s Q.sub.t -B'.sub.10-u' C'.sub.u' (Y').sub.6 Z''.sub.2 and/or A3) A'.sub.10-r' (X'O.sub.4).sub.6-s' Z''.sub.2-t' +/A''.sub.r' (X''O.sub.4).sub.s' +/B''.sub.10-u' C'.sub.u' (Y'').sub.6 Z'''.sub.2 in which the formulae assume the significance specified in the description, in a quantity that is effective for the absorption of ions from the biological application environment of the dental material. The polymerisable dental material has variably adjustable transparency, good polishability, high strength and the capacity to release and absorb ions into and from a biological environment. Also described is a process for using the mixed apatites A1), A2) and/or A3) in polymerisable dental materials.
