The Inflammatory Potential of Bis-Acrylic Composite and Polymethyl Methacrylate with Varying Topography and in the Presence of Lipopolysaccharide

Abstract

Statement of problem. No studies to date have reported the potential of surface roughness of bis-acrylic composite (BAC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) surface contamination, to elicit enhanced inflammatory activity. Purpose. This study sought to determine if there is a difference in inflammatory potential between PMMA and BAC, and to examine any interactive effects between surface roughness of the provisional dental materials and bound LPS on induction of an inflammatory response.
