Exploring the use of a Ruthenium complex incorporated into a methacrylate-based dental material for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of a blue light photosensitizer (PS), Ruthenium II complex (Ru), on the chemical, physical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties of experimental dental resin blends. Methods: The experimental resin (BisEMA, TEEGDMA, HPMA, ethanol, and photoinitiator) was loade...
