title: Properties of sealants containing bis-GMA and various diluents.
abstract: Properties of commercial and a series of experimental pit and fissure sealants, based on Bis-GMA were determined using rapid test procedures. By proper selection of monomeric diluent and addition of a photocrosslinking agent, the characteristics of sealant formulations can be varied widely.
