In the past few decades, there has been an increase in demand for safety evaluation and
control of dental materials used daily in dentistry; however, this task is difficult and …

Antibacterial and remineralizing dental composites and adhesives were recently developed
to inhibit biofilm acids and combat secondary caries. It is not clear what effect these …

Objectives Biocompatibility of adhesives is important since adhesives may be applied on
dentin near the pulp. Accurate knowledge of the quantity of monomers reaching the pulp is …

Background. Bacterial reinfection of dental cavities remains an unsolved clinical problem.
The search for methods enabling the limitation of the bacterial factor has become the …

Polymers are very versatile materials and are used in many applications including
pharmaceutical applications. Natural polymers, modified natural polymers, and synthetic …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the potential cytotoxicity of
dentinal adhesives on alveolar macrophages of Wistar rats, after diffusion through dentin …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the hydroxyethyl-methacrylate
(HEMA) concentration and solvent content of dental adhesives on cell viability and cytokine …

The cytotoxicity of dental composites has been attributed to the release of residual
monomers from polymerized adhesive systems due to degradation processes or the …

OBJECTIVES: In this study the amount of TEGDMA and HEMA eluted from several adhesive
systems was quantified. METHODS: The adhesive systems were applied according to …

Urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) is used in dental restorative materials in its polymeric form.
However, the process of polymerization is usually incomplete and the monomers of UDMA …
