Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate monomer elution from three commercial orthodontic adhesive pastes. Methods: Three monomers BPA, Bis-GMA, and TEGDMA were observed from Green Glue (Hangzhou Westlake Biomaterials Co., Zhejiang, China), GrenGloo (Ormco Co., Glendora, CA, USA), and Transbond XT (3M Unitek, St. Paul, MN, USA). The adhesive was light-cured in a cylindrical mold with 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick, before immediately immerse into 10 ml extraction media of 75%ethanol in a tightly sealed container at 37°C. The solution was refreshed at four intervals of time 1, 3, 5, and 7 d. The immersion medium was determined using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results and Conclusions: BPA were found from three adhesives. Bis-GMA was found only from Transbond XT. TEGDMA were found from both Green Glue and Grengloo. Green Glue had 10-30 times higher TEGDMA elution than Grengloo. Major elution was found from all orthodontic adhesive paste within 1 d, and decrease with time to 7 d.

Vitamin A deficiency is still one of the major public health problems in least developed countries. Fortification of vegetable oils is a strategy implemented worldwide to prevent this deficiency. For a fortification program to be effective, regular monitoring is necessary to control food quality in the producing units. The reference methods for vitamin A quantification are expensive and time-consuming. A rapid method should be useful for regular assessment of vitamin A in the oil industry. A portable device was compared to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for three plant oils (rapeseed, groundnut, and soya). The device presented a good linearity from 3 to 30 mg retinol equivalents per kg (mg RE.kg- 1). Its limits of detection and quantification were 3 mg RE.kg- 1 for groundnut and rapeseed oils and 4 mg RE.kg- 1 for soya oil. The intra-assay precision ranged from 1.48 % to 3.98 %, considered satisfactory. Accuracy estimated by the root mean squares error ranged from 3.99 to 5.49 and revealed a lower precision than HPLC (0.4 to 2.25). Although it offers less precision than HPLC, the device estimates quickly the vitamin A content of the tested oils from 3 or 4 to 15 mg RE.kg- 1.
