The unpolymerized material extracted from cured orthodontic bonding resin was analyzed by UV spectrophotometry. Under certain conditions, substantial amounts of the material (approximately 14%) were leached from bracketed teeth. The possible carcinogenicity of these unpolymerized materials is discussed.
