Elution study of acrylic monomers from orthodontic materials using high performance liquid chromatography  (HPLC)

ConclusionUsing the described method, it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the in  vitro elution of monomers from orthodontic materials. The concentrations of the substances identified were below the current maximum recommended intake. However, a cumulative effect and low-dose effects should be considered for both patients and dental professionals, especially for young patients . Measures to reduce exposure patients and practitioners are suggested.
