👻 The real horror isn't always what you can see.
We worry about ghosts, monsters and things hiding in the dark. But have you ever wondered what's hiding in your dental restorations? 🦷
🔬 Our latest Study Sunday highlighted an important scientific finding.
An in vitro study by Bakopoulou et al. (2011) found that exposure to HEMA and TEGDMA, even at non-cytotoxic concentrations, significantly delayed the differentiation and mineralization of human dental pulp stem/progenitor cells.
The surprising part? Cells can remain viable while important biological functions are affected.
These laboratory findings do not establish clinical effects, but they highlight why material composition deserves attention.
At SAREMCO, we take that responsibility seriously. Our els and apt® restorative systems are formulated without HEMA and TEGDMA.
🎃 This Halloween, remember:
Not everything that matters is visible. Know your materials.
💬 Have you ever asked what's inside your dental fillings?
