“…To date many studies focused on their physical properties, such as shear bond strength (Finnema et al, 2010), with less emphasis on RBDM biocompatibility, despite the proximity of their application site to the periodontal tissues which may cause inflammation of gingiva, oral mucosa and alveolar bone (Borra et al, 2009). Different studies, dealing with RBDM biocompatibility, are based on in vitro tests because of the ability to control the environment and cellular responses (Jagdish et al, 2009;Franz et al, 2003;Malkoc et al, 2010).…”
