Towards a new generation of BIOSAFE and BIOACTIVE composites for tooth restoration KU Leuven
Resin composite is currently the most widely used material in dentistry, enabling minimally invasive and invisible tooth restoration. However, there is a particular safety concern regarding the release of the endocrine disruptor 'bisphenol A' (BPA). BPA can be present in composites as production contaminant and/or degradation product, originating from BPA-based monomers such as BisGMA. The latter serves as a polymerization 'cross-linker' and ...

General Introduction
Before predictable and successful dental implants became available, patients who lost more than a few natural teeth often found it impossible to regain full, comfortable masticatory function and facial esthetics. Dental prostheses, especially the removable designs, were far from ideal replacements for natural teeth. The introduction of oral implants, functioning as artificial tooth roots, widened the treatment ...
