An x-ray-opaque dental material contains, in addition to polymerizable organic binders, a fluoride of the rare earth metals or mixtures of such fluorides as well as possibly other inorganic compounds as fillers. The dental material is suitable as a 1- or 2-component filling material or dental cement, as a crown and bridge material as well as for the production of artificial teeth, inlays and implants and is characterized by high X-ray opacity and good transparency at the same time. |
