Two-part dual-curing dental compositions containing a hydroperoxide, a thiourea derivative and an acetylacetonate salt as redox radical initiator system, are provided. The dental compositions may contain an acidic monomer for use as a self-adhesive cement. The dental compositions possess enhanced shelf-life stability for working/setting time, bonding strength, color stability, slump, flexural strength/modulus, and when kept at 50° C. for more than 16 weeks. |
