Adverse reactions to denture resin materials

Irrespective of the new generation of dental materials, acrylates still have a wide indication field. Although they are classified as biomaterials, acrylates can have both local and systemic side effects. The individual components of the acrylic materials may leave the dental restorations and diffuse into saliva. The aim of this study was to point out the potentially toxic components of acrylic dental materials, as well as their possible adverse effects on oral tissues and the organism in general. The paper was based on the assumption that the appropriate selection of the type of acrylic material and the proper method of their preparation reduce their adverse effects to a minimum, which was proven using literature data.
