Quantification and identification of components released from dental composites using different chromatographic techniques

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to review recent chromatographic methods for quantifying and identifying components released from dental composites. Resin-based dental restorative materials are extensively used in dentistry today. Although composite materials are known to be highly stable structures, they are susceptible to degradation because of the incomplete polymerization. Several components may be released from resin composite restorations into the oral environment. The elution of components from composite resins may affect the biocompatibility of the restorations. Therefore, it is essential to understand the nature and quantity of substances that are segregated into the oral cavity.
