This study examined the possible correlation between the degree of con- version (DC) and the amount of substances eluted from three commercial cured resin-based cements. The DC of the various resin-based cements was measured by Raman spectroscopy, while the quantity of unreacted monomers released from the cement matrix (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, TEGDMA, urethane dimetha- crylate, UDMA, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, HEMA and bisphenol A) was deter- mined by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The obtained results, after multiple statistical evaluation (one way ANOVA, LSD post hoc test), showed no significant differences in the DC values between the resin cements. On the contrary, the results of the HPLC analysis depicted statistically significant differences be- tween the three materials with respect to the amount of leached monomers. In ad- dition, no correlation between the DC and the amount of eluted substances from the tested cured composite cements was found.
