[Characterization and determination of residual monomer content of implantation materials from polymethacrylic acid methylester]. 1975

R Bluth, and R Pinkert, and E Steger

Cold polymerizates "Kallocryl K" and "Palacos" were characterized by means of physico-chemical methods of examination. The residual monomer content of the polymerizates, which is of major toxicological interest, was also determined quantitatively. It was possible to show that the residual monomer content decreases exponentially as a function of the duration of polymerization. "Palacos" polymerizates had much higher residual monomer contents than "Kallocryl K" polymerizates when the same time of polymerization was used. Also discussed in this paper are possible methods of reducing the residual monomer content prior to implantation of the plastic materials.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008768 Methylmethacrylates The methyl esters of methacrylic acid that polymerize easily and are used as tissue cements, dental materials, and absorbent for biological substances.
D011108 Polymers Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS). Polymer
D003757 Dental Implantation The grafting or inserting of a prosthetic device of alloplastic material into the oral tissue beneath the mucosal or periosteal layer or within the bone.
