%X UNASSIGNED: The purpose of our study was to determine the amount of eluted triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and to compare the eluted TEGDMA in different composite resins after light curing with conventional halogen light curing unit and light emitting diode (LED).
UNASSIGNED: The present study was conducted on the two types of composite resins, which were divided equally into four groups - Group I: Denoted as Hybrid-LED, Group II: Denoted as Microhybrid-LED, Group III: Denoted as Hybrid-Halogen Group IV: Denoted as Microhybrid-Halogen. Polymerized specimens of hybrid and microhybrid composite resins were stored in air tight centrifuge tubes at 37°C for 24 h, then extract the monomers in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade acetonitrile and water and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. All extracts were analyzed by HPLC. Eluted TEGDMA was detected by ultraviolet detector. The results obtained for TEGDMA were computed and analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and independent samples F-test at significance level 0.05.
UNASSIGNED: Elution of TEGDMA from all the samples of Group III (Hybrid-Halogen) was greatest and from Group II (Microhybrid-LED) was lowest. The sequence of TEGDMA elution was Group III > Group I > Group IV > Group II. From our results, we can conclude that the LED light curing unit may be more efficient than standard halogen light curing unit. The extractable quantities of composite resin components should be minimized. Furthermore, all ingredients of a dental composite should be declared by the manufacturers, in order to identify those substances in a product which may cause adverse side effects in patients and dental personnel.
