Abstract

To facilitate the evaluation of dental composites, high throughput methods to fabricate dental resins with varying conversion levels were developed. Resins of 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy) phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) were fabricated to contain one-dimensional gradients in carbon-carbon double bond conversion. Final conversion profiles ranged from 46 % to 67 % conversion. Cellular viability was evaluated as a function of resin conversion, with viability decreasing as conversion decreased. This high-throughput method for developing samples with conversion gradients could be applied to other dental resins or photopolymerized materials.
