Fluoride-Releasing Fillers Modulate the Response of Fibroblasts to Dental Composites

Researchers tested resin-based composites containing fluoride-releasing fillers on human gum cells, finding that while polymerized materials showed no toxicity, the individual monomers affected cell stress responses and gene expression patterns related to cellular damage and protein breakdown.
