Leaching of unpolymerized materials from orthodontic bonding resin.
The unpolymerized material extracted from cured orthodontic bonding resin was analyzed by UV spectrophotometry. Under certain conditions, substantial amounts of the material (approximately 14%) were leached from bracketed teeth. The possible carcinogenicity of these unpolymerized materials is discussed.
