Formulation and characterization of a novel fluoride-releasing dental composite 

 -  Dental Materials, 22(11), p.1014-1023, 2006 .
<br/><br/> Objectives. The aims of this study were to formulate a novel fluoride-releasing dental composite and to evaluate its mechanical properties, fluoride release and recharge capabilities, water sorption and solubility. Methods. A fluoride-releasing dimethacrylate monomer containing a ternary zirconium fluoride chelate was synthesized. Three experimental fluoride-releasing composites were fabricated with different monomer formulas (wt.
