Abstract
These studies demonstrate that VPA can be used as the active monomer in experimental compomers, and is capable of yielding materials with properties equivalent to a commercial material, but with improved resistance to toothpaste abrasion. The level of VPA in the formulation is critical, because this monomer inhibits addition polymerization, hence must be used only in small amounts.
