Residual monomers (TEGDMA and Bis‐GMA) of a set visible‐light‐cured dental composite resin when immersed in water

Abstract: Rods of a visible-light-cured dental composite resin were photo-polymerized and immersed in water at 37 degrees C for 7 days. The residual monomers (TEGDMA and Bis-GMA) trapped in the set composite and those eluted into water were analysed by gas-liquid chromatography. It became evident that minor amounts of the residual monomers dissolved in water, but that most residual monomers remained in the set composite. Extension of the irradiation period contributed to the significant reduction in the residual monomer… Show more

“…28 TEGDMA is a low molecular weight monomer, which shows high mobility and decomposes more quickly than larger molecules, such as Bis-GMA. 29 In our study, all composites, with the exception of Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill, contain TEGDMA in the organic matrix structure. Filtek Z250 also has a small amount of TEGDMA in the structure.…”

“…This then resulted in weak biofilm attachment that eventually caused the biofilm to detach easily from ES-DP. Another possible factor influencing bacterial adherence to resin composite surfaces was the amount of unpolymerized monomers in cured composites [41][42][43][44] . However, results from ATR-FTIR analysis in this study indicated that slight amounts of residual monomers were detected on the surface of both ES and GR composites.…”

“…One-step self-etch adhesives act as permeable membranes even after polymerization and permit water movement across their thickness, which could accelerate elution of uncured monomers [32][33][34][35] . The lowered DC from monomer to polymer cause the low chemical stability and high solubility of adhesives [36][37] . Therefore, the lowered DC near the adhesive-composite join might compromise long-term stability between onestep self-etch adhesive and composite.…”
