Biocompatibility of visible light-cured resin systems in prosthodontics.
Frequently dental products are introduced that have had little or no biologic testing. Cell culture systems that traditionally have been used for the study of cellular responses have recently been used to assess biocompatibility. This article reviews various cellular toxicity assays and their application to the resin systems used in clinical prosthodontics.
