Abstract
Light-activated resin-based dental fissure sealants are the most widely accepted among clinicians. The objective of this study was to determine monomer release of 3 different light-curing fissure sealants in vitro: Control Seal (Voco, Germany), Fissurit FX (Voco, Germany) and R&D Series Fıssured Nova (Imicrly, Turkey).
Each material was polymerized with a curing light: Valo Cordless (Ultradent) LED in standard mode for 20 seconds (n = 27) and 40 seconds (n = 27) and in Xtra power mode (plasma arc) for 3 seconds (n = 27). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure the amount of monomers released over 1, 3 and 7 days.
Plasma arc groups showed the highest release of monomers at 1, 3 and 7 days in the 3 fissure sealant groups (p<0.001). The greatest release of bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (bis-GMA) determined for R&D Series Fissured Nova both with LED 20 seconds and LED 40 seconds and for Control Seal was with the plasma arc. With time, release of the monomer was reduced for all polymerization systems.
Efficiency of the polymerization system and applying the recommended curing time for light-activated resin-based dental materials are very important to protect the patient from potential hazards of residual monomers.
