Cytotoxicity of resin composites containing bioactive glass fillers
Highlights • The results show that the composites, independent of composition, had equivalent potency in terms of reducing the viability of the cells in culture. • Soaking the composites for 7 days before exposing them to the cells suggested that the “toxic” components had been extracted and the mat...

Summary: | Highlights • The results show that the composites, independent of composition, had equivalent potency in terms of reducing the viability of the cells in culture. • Soaking the composites for 7 days before exposing them to the cells suggested that the “toxic” components had been extracted and the materials were no longer cytotoxic. • The results demonstrate that the cytotoxicity of composites with and without BAG must predominantly be attributed to the release of residual monomers, and not to the presence of the BAG. |
