Results: All tested materials exhibited a dose- and timedependent cytotoxicity. Higher doses and longer exposure times resulted in reduced cell survival, as was shown by the SRB method. XP bond expressed the higher cytotoxic activity of all tested substances (p < 0.05). The other three agents exhibited a similar antiproliferative pattern, with G-Bond however being more cytotoxic than Adhese or Clearfil tri-S bond. XP bond exposure resulted in an inhibition of DNA synthesis in the three cell lines whilst Adhese, G-Bond and Clearfil tri-S bond inhibited DNA synthesis to a far lesser extend. From all the tested bonding agents XP bond resulted in the most potent effect on cell cycle distribution. A dilution down to 2.5% (0.025) was high enough to decrease cell numbers by 50%, leaving the remaining cells in G2 /M phase arrest. Cells exposed to XP bond exhibited very early apoptotic morphology when observed under the inverted microscope. The other three bonding agents (G-Bond, Clearfil tri-S bond and Adhese) did not have any major impact on cell cycle distribution, and their modest anti-proliferative activity can be explained by induction of cell death (apoptosis or necrosis) in high concentrations. Conclusions: The effect of dental adhesives on cell cycle may have clinical significance. Acknowledgement: The study was supported by Procter and Gable Ltd. (AUTh Research Committee project #81990).

ated artificial day-light aging using an environmental chamber for 180 h. Aging cycle included alternating wet aging (18 min) and dry aging (102 min). Color measurements were recorded every 30 h of aging. Color measurements were performed with a colorimeter according to the CIE-Lab (L*, a*, b*) system. Color change (E) was calculated using the following equation: E = [(L*)2 + (a*)2 + (b*)2 ]1/2 , where L*, a* and b* are the differences in the respective values before and after aging. Results: One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests on data obtained after 6 months showed statistical significance between all groups (p < 0.05) except between time passage and sebum groups (p > 0.05) (Table 1). Artificial day-light aging exhibited the greatest color change (E) after 6 months. However, among the individual color parameters, there was statistically significant decrease in a* and b* values between all groups. Conclusions: Maxillofacial silicone elastomer exhibit color changes as a result of surrounding environmental factors and human sebaceous secretions. doi:10.1016/j.dental.2009.01.014 Release of monomers from different core build-up materials O.

Watts School of Dentistry, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK Objectives: To investigate the effect of artificial day-light aging (with and without moisture) and sebaceous oil secretions (Sebum) on color stability of maxillofacial silicone elastomer within a 6-month simulated period of clinical service. Materials and methods: Twenty-four disk-shaped specimens were prepared (8 mm diameter, 3 mm thickness) using Marfa silicone elastomer and were colored with intrinsic skin pigments (skin tone). Specimens were randomly allocated into three groups (n = 8) as follows: Group 1 (time passage) specimens were stored in a dark chamber away from light (control group), and color measurements were recorded every 30 days. Group 2: specimens were immersed in sebum solution (10% palmitic acid, 2% tri-palmitin dissolved in 88% linoleic acid) for 3 months. Color of specimens was recorded every 15 days of conditioning. Group 3: specimens were exposed to acceler-
Dental School and Hospital, University Medical Center, Freiburg, Germany 2 University Medical Center, Freiburg, Germany Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the elution of monomers from three different core build-up composite materials. Materials and methods: Three different core build-up composite materials (a chemically cured, a photo-cured, and a dual-cured) were tested. Ten samples (diameter: 4.5 mm, thickness: 2 mm) of each material were fabricated. The photocured samples were polymerized for 40 s and the dual-cured samples for 20 s. The samples remained for 10 minutes undisturbed and then were stored in 1 ml of 75% ethanol at room temperature. The storage medium was renewed after 24 h, 7 days, and 28 days. From the storage medium that was removed, samples were prepared and analyzed by LC–MS/MS. Results: The three composite materials differed significantly concerning the elution of monomers (BisGMA: p < 0.0001; TEGDMA: p < 0.0001; and Bisphenol A: p < 0.0001). A significantly higher amount of BisGMA and TEGDMA was released from the chemically cured composite compared to the other two materials. The dual-cured material eluted significantly higher amounts of BisGMA and TEGDMA compared to the light-cured composite, whereas the photo-cured mate-
