[Assessment of the biological properties of composite filling materials: determination of indices of their hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity].

Rapid methods for determining the hemolytic activity in 10% suspension of human red cells and the cytotoxicity in human embryo fibroblast and HeLa cell cultures were used to assess the biological characteristics of some experimental composite filling materials and their foreign analogs. The results permit assessing the impact on the biological characteristics of individual components, of the entire composition, of the purity of the initial ingredients and their polymerization ability, this being valuable for the development of materials with the optimal characteristics.
