This book provides a timely and comprehensive review of our
current knowledge of BPA release from dental polymers and the
potential endocrinological consequences. After a review of the
history and evolution of the issue within the broader biomedical
context, the estrogenicity of BPA is explained. The basic chemistry
of the polymers used in dentistry is then presented in a simplified
and clinically relevant manner. Key chapters in the book carefully
evaluate the release of BPA from polycarbonate products and
composite resins and the estrogenicity of these materials.
Currently available evidence on the potential estrogenic action of
dental composities, sealants, and adhesives is presented, and means
are suggested by which adverse health effects can be minimized. The
entire dental community will find this book to be an excellent
source of information on the true risks posed by BPA, and an
invaluable aid to safe practice.
