Protesematerialer inneholder ureagert monomer som kan lekke ut i munnhulen og gi bivirkninger, men i hvor stor grad skjer dette? Tanntekniske laboratorier fremstilte protesematerialer etter sin vanlige metode og NIOM analyserte mengde ureagert monomer, såkalt restmonomer. Kaldakryl hadde større mengde restmonomer enn kokakryl og derfor et større potensiale for å gi bivirkninger. Ett av produktene […]

The present study showed that a ZOE-based material has an antibacterial effect and that incorporating CH or COS may increase the antibacterial effect depending on the bacterial species. The total release of eugenol from the materials was stable for up to 18 weeks immersion in water. Eugenol therefore contributed to the antibacterial effect on all the material surfaces investigated. S. mutans exhibited the highest susceptibility to eugenol. The compressive strength of the modified materials was reduced but still met the requirements in ISO 3017.

New dimethacrylate monomer Bis-EFMA was synthesized and used to prepare Bis-GMA-free dental resin and composite materials. Studies of the experimental materials showed that Bis-EFMA-based resin matrix and composite materials had improved properties compared to Bis-GMA-based resin matrix and composite materials, respectively. Compared with the commercial dental composite material Z250, Bis-EFMA-based composite showed similar or improved properties except for a lower FS after water immersion. Based on the presented results, Bis-EFMA has potential to be used in commercial dental composites.
