Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the resin monomer BisGMA on the glutathione concentration (monobromobimane assay) and apoptosis (Annexin V/PI-assay) of cultured primary human gingival fibroblasts. Cells were treated for up to 24h with 0.001-0.25 mM BisGMA to determine growth curves using the DNA stain H33342. Subsequent Annexin V/PI-assays revealed that fibroblasts exposed to concentrations of 0.005-0.01 mM (non-cytotoxic) and 0.05 mM (ED(10)-concentration) showed no increase of the share of apoptotic cells compared to non-treated controls (5-8%), while 0.1 mM BisGMA (approximately ED(50)-concentration) caused a significant increase of the percentage of apoptotic cells (50%). Simultaneously to the induction of apoptosis, 0.1 and 0.25 mM of BisGMA caused a significant depletion of the intracellular GSH content after 18 h of incubation. Our results indicate that BisGMA at concentrations >0.1 mM causes an extreme depletion of the intracellular GSH pool as well as apoptosis.

Dental resin systems, used for artificial replacement of teeth and their surrounding structures, have gained popularity due to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recommendation to reduce dental amalgam use in high-risk populations and medical circumstances. Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical, is an essential monomer within dental resin in the form of various analogues and derivatives. Leaching of monomers from resins results in toxicity, affecting hormone metabolism and causing long-term health risks.

Camphorquinone (CQ) and resin monomers are included in dentin bonding agents (DBAs) and composite resin to restore tooth defects due to abrasion, crown fracture, or dental caries. DBAs, CQ, and bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) applications influence the biological activities of the dental pulp. The current investigation aimed to delineate the effect of DBAs, CQ, and BisGMA on cathepsin L production/expression, lysosomal activity, and autophagy induction in human dental pulp cells (HDPCs).

Methacrylate monomers found in many dental materials cause toxicity to dental pulp cells but the mechanism of the toxicity is poorly understood. We used cultured human dental pulp cells to test the effects of three commonly used monomers; bisphenol-A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA), urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA). The order of toxicity was Bis-GMA>UDMA>TEGDMA.

Polymer-based dental restorative materials are designed to polymerize in situ. However, the conversion of methacrylate monomer to polymer is never complete, and leakage of the monomer occurs. It has been shown that these monomers are toxic in vitro; hence concerns regarding exposure of patients and dental personnel have been raised.

Toxicity potentiation of two monomers [bisphenol-A-glycidyldimethacrylate (BisGMA) and urethanedimethacrylate (UDMA)] as well as two comonomers [triethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA)], each in combination with H(2)O(2), was investigated on the viability on human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and human pulpal fibroblasts (HPF). The applied concentration of H(2)O(2) was 0.06 or 0.
