Time-based elution of TEGDMA and BisGMA from resin composite cured with LED, QTH and high-intensity QTH lights.
This study measured the elution of TEGDMA and BisGMA monomers from hybrid, micro-filled resin composites over 72 hours at different time intervals after polymerization with standard quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), high-intensity fast-curing QTH and standard blue light emitting diode (LED) light units. Samples were polymerized from the top and bottom surfaces, then immersed in methanol. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure the amount of monomers released from the samples at various time intervals, ranging from 0 to 72 hours (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours). Data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Duncan tests with a significance level of 0.05. No significant differences were observed among curing groups in the elution of TEGDMA monomers at 0, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours; whereas, significant differences were observed among curing groups at 3 and 6 hours. BisGMA elution in samples immersed for longer periods (9-72 hours) were significantly higher than samples immersed for shorter time periods (0-6 hours); however, 72 hours appeared to be too short a period for the total elution of BisGMA into methanol.
