Triethylene Glycol Up-Regulates Virulence-Associated Genes and Proteins in Streptococcus mutans.

Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) is a diluent monomer used pervasively in dental composite resins. Through hydrolytic degradation of the composites in the oral cavity it yields a hydrophilic biodegradation product, triethylene glycol (TEG), which has been shown to promote the growth of Str...
