Studies on hemolytic activity of bisphenol A diglycidyl methacrylate (BIS-GMA).

To clarify the high hemolytic activity of BIS-GMA, the molar concentration producing 50% hemolysis (H50) and the partition coefficient inoctanol-water were determined using BIS-GMA and various types of methacrylates. It is suggested that the strong hemolytic potency of BIS-GMA is due to the high hydrophobic nature of the compound.

[The adhesion of sealants to dental enamel].

The test product VM 4 of the Kulzer company, Bad Homburg v.d.H., was tested and compared with the commercial products Nuva Seal, Enamelite, and Palakav. Extracted and sealed teeth were kept in water at 37 degrees C for 67 days and subsequently the adhesive strength between dental surface and sealant was tested in tensile strength tests.

[Solubility and degree of hemolysis as methods for the in vitro evaluation of dental filling materials].

For the biological examination of dental resin filling materials, a solubility and hemolysis test is recommended as an in-vitro testing method. Solubility and degree of hemolysis were examined in various filling materials based on MMA and BIS-GMA. It was found that, at the beginning, solubility was considerably higher in MMA-containing materials than in the BIS-GMA systems, and that after a while the conditions were reversed. The degree of hemolysis decreased in the following order with the individual materials: 1. Posite, Sevriton, Adatpic, 2. Epoxylite, Smile, Palakav, 3. MMA-BPO/Amin and MMA-TBBO. Comparison between the MMA and BIS-GMA monomers showed that corresponding to the same molar amounts, BIS-GMA materials developed a higher degree of hemolysis.
