Abstract excerpt
Dental resinous materials can contain large amounts (from 30 to 50%) of triethylene-glycol-dimethacrylate (TEGDMA). This compound leaches into aqueous media and is toxic to dental pulp, as well as to gingival fibroblasts in vitro. To elucidate the mechanism of TEGDMA toxicity, we investigated the effects on glutathione (GSH) level and glutathione transferase P1 (GSTP1) activity in cultured human gingival...
