This work reports the use of two monomers with two tertiary amines and four methacrylic (TTME) or acrylic (TTAC) terminal groups as co-initiators in the formulation of experimental resin adhesive systems. Both monomers were characterized by FT-IR and H NMR spectroscopies. The control adhesive was formulated with BisGMA, TEGDMA, HEMA, and the binary system CQ-EDAB as a photo-initiator system.

The chemical structure of BZ-AL monomer was determined by means of H NMR, C NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. An experimental composite comprising a mixture of Bis-GMA and BZ-AL monomers and silanized inorganic filler was formulated.

This study describes the synthesis of the trimethacrylate tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane triglycidyl methacrylate (TTM) monomer and evaluate its effect when used as base monomer in the formulation of experimental photopolymerizable composite resins.
Methods: The TTM monomer was synthesized by a nucleophilic acyl substitution.
Two liquid monomers (CT-AL and CT-ACR) were synthesized from the acylation of tert-butyl catechol with different acid chlorides. The monomers were used to prepare photopolymerizable dental composite for completely replacing TEGDMA. Properties such as flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, degree of double bond conversion, polymerization shrinkage, as well as the polymerization stress were studied.

The chemical structure of both bio-based monomers was determinate by means H NMR, C NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. Experimental composites comprising Bis-GMA/IBAC or Bis-GMA/IBM were formulated using 65 %wt of silanized inorganic filler.
