Abstract.
Composite filling materials are widely used in the modern dental practice. Polymerization of composite fillings after their setting and curing is incomplete: the monomers binding percentage for the majority of materials ranges from 55 to 75%. Nonreacted monomers and other substances released from composite filling materials in the presence of oral fluid may exert negative influence on the human body. Numerous studies report about a possible cyto-, geno- , embryotoxic and mutagenic activity of composites, their ability to produce an estrogen-like effect, to cause allergic reactions in patients and dental clinics staff. Besides that, some authors noticed a negative effect of these materials on the tooth pulp, as well as their ability to enhance the cariogenic microorganisms growth and development. The negative influence degree of composites on the body depends on the chemical structure of the latter, their consistency, and compliance with the rules of the restoration making.
Key words: composite filling materials, biocompatibility, toxicity.
