title: Xenoestrogenicity and dental materials.
abstract: This paper discusses the xenoestrogenicity of dental materials due to 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane (Bisphenol-A or BPA) and/or its derivatives. Based on a critical review of the pertinent published literature, the author concludes that there is no reason to change the indications for the clinical application of these dental materials.
