A photopolymerization accelerator composition improving color stability and controlling polymerization shrinkage stress of cured resin and/or the resulting composite paste thereby feature by tertiary twisted biphenyldiamine with the general formula I:R2 and R3 are each independently alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R and R1 are each independently hydrogen or halogen; alkyl, alkoxy, or alkylthio having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms; or phenyl and/or substituted phenyl alkoxy, or alkylthio having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms. It can be used in part with conventional photosensitizers and radically polymerizable monomers.
