A curable composition which forms a cured product that exhibits a high fracture toughness value and a high bending strength equivalent to that of a natural tooth, and is suited for use as a dental restorative. The dental restorative exhibits color little different from that of a natural tooth and can be used to substitute for the conventional metal restorative in the inlay restoration or crown restoration of portions that receive a high pressure of occlusion. The curable composition comprises (i) a polymerizable monomer, (ii) irregular-shaped inorganic particles (A) having an average particle diameter of from 1 to 9 µm, and containing particles having particle diameters of not smaller than 10 µm in an amount of not larger than 3% by weight, such as silica-zirconia irregular-shaped particles, (iii) spherical inorganic particles (B) having an average particle diameter of from 0.1 to 5 µm, such as spherical silica-zirconia particles; (iv) inorganic fine particles (C) having an average particle diameter of from 0.01 to 0.1 µm, such as fine particles of at least one inorganic oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, silica-zirconia and silica-titania; and (v) a polymerization initiator; wherein the irregular-shaped inorganic particles (A), spherical inorganic particles (B) and inorganic fine particles (C) are used in a total amount of from 300 to 1900 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymerizable monomer, and, when the total amount of the spherical inorganic particles (B) and the inorganic fine particles (C) is set to be 100% by weight, the spherical inorganic particles (B) are used at a ratio of from 50 to 99% by weight and the inorganic fine particles (C) are used at a ratio of from 50 to 1% by weight, and wherein the weight ratio [(A)/(B) + (C)}] of the irregular-shaped inorganic particles (A) to the total amount of the spherical inorganic particles (B) and the inorganic fine particles (C) is from 0.3 to 3, and the polymerization initiator is used in an amount of from 0.01 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymerizable monomer.
