Purpose: This study developed light cured dental composites with added monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM), tristrontium phosphate (TSrP) and antimicrobial polylysine (PLS). The aim was to produce composites that have enhanced water sorption induced expansion, can promote apatite precipitation and release polylysine.
Materials And Methods: Experimental composite formulations consisted of light activated dimethacrylate monomers combined with 80 wt% powder.
