Correlation of elution and sensitivity of cell lines to dental composites

Other mammalian cell lines may be more sensitive to acute toxin build-up than human cell line while the latter may be more sensitive to prolonged toxin exposure. Dimethacrylate based composites elute more and exert strong cytotoxicity than Ormocer and Silorane based composites. Most of the eluates correlated linearly to cytotoxicity.
