This study investigated the influence of curing lights and modes on the elution of leachable components from dental composites. Four LED/halogen curing lights (LED-Elipar Freelight [FL], 3M-ESPE and GC e-light [EL], GC; high intensity halogen-Elipar Trilight [TL], 3M-ESPE; very high intensity halogen-Astralis 10 [AS], Ivoclar Vivadent) were selected for this study. Pulse (EL1), continuous (FL1, EL2, TL1), turbo (EL3, AS) and soft-start (FL2, EL4, TL2) curing modes of the various lights were examined. A conventional continuous cure halogen light (Max [MX], Dentsply-Caulk) was used for comparison. Three composite (Z100, 3M-ESPE) specimens (6.5 mm in diameter and 1-mm thick) were made for each curing light-mode combination. After polymerization, the specimens were stored in air at 37 degrees C for 24 hours and incubated in acetonitrile at 37 degrees C for 24 hours. BisGMA and TEGDMA extracts were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Data were subjected to analysis using one-way ANOVA/Scheffe's post-hoc test and Independent Samples t-test at significance level 0.05. The total monomer (BisGMA and TEGDMA) eluted ranged from 8.75 to 27.97 ppm for FL1 and AS, respectively. Significantly more unreacted monomers were leached from composites cured with all modes of EL and AS when compared to MX. No significant difference in the total monomer eluted was observed between the two modes of FL/TL and MX Although composites cured with EL2 released significantly less monomer than EL1, 3 and 4, no significant difference in the total monomer eluted was observed between the continuous and soft-start modes of FL and TL. The elution of leachable components from composites appears to be curing light specific rather than light source (LED or halogen) and curing mode specific.

Mercury (Hg) pollution in soil has grown into a severe environmental issue. Effective in situ immobilization techniques are crucially demanded. In this study, we explored the application of carboxymethyl cellulose stabilized iron sulfide nanoparticles (CMC-FeS) for in situ immobilization of Hg in soil.

3D printing offers the unprecedented ability to fabricate chromatography stationary phases with bespoke 3D morphology as opposed to traditional packed beds of spherical beads. The restricted range of printable materials compatible with chromatography is considered a setback for its industrial implementation. Recently, we proposed a novel ink that exhibits favourable printing performance (printing time ∼100 mL/h, resolution ∼200 µm) and broadens the possibilities for a range of chromatography applications thanks to its customisable surface chemistry.

Objectives: The purpose of our study was to determine the amount of eluted triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and to compare the eluted TEGDMA in different composite resins after light curing with conventional halogen light curing unit and light emitting diode (LED).
Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted on the two types of composite resins, which were divided equally into four groups - Group I: Denoted as Hybrid-LED, Group II: Denoted as Microhybrid-LED, Group III: Denoted as Hybrid-Halogen Group IV: Denoted as Microhybrid-Halogen. Polymerized specimens of hybrid and microhybrid composite resins were stored in air tight centrifuge tubes at 37°C for 24 h, then extract the monomers in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade acetonitrile and water and incubated at 37°C for 24 h.

The aim of this study was to investigate leachable components (monomers) in high and low viscosity dental bulk-fill resin composites and conventional resin composite materials after polymerization. Six bulk-fill and six conventional dental resin composite materials were used in this study. The samples of each material (three sets of triplicates) were cured for 20 s with irradiance of 1200 mW/cm with a LED curing unit and immersed in a 75% ethanol solution at 37 °C.

Objective: In the delivery of intravenous fluids, in-line warming devices frequently transfer heat using a metal heating plate, which if uncoated can risk elution. This bench study examined extractable elements detected following long-term use of the parylene-coated enFlow Disposable IV/Blood Warmer.
Methods: We tested 16 clinically relevant challenge fluids typical of the surgical setting, including commercially available single donor blood and blood products as well as intravenous saline and electrolyte solutions.
