Abstract Resin-based dental materials polymerized using blue light are frequently used in dental practice and may come in contact with the oral mucosa. Remnants from oral hygiene product ingredients, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), add to the chemical exposure of the mucosa. The aim of the present in vitro study was to elucidate the […]

The polymerization in thin films on smooth tooth surfaces was assessed for four conventional bonding and pit and fissure sealants and one new acetone-containing sealant.
