Numerous studies have examined the biocompatibility of restorative dental materials and their components, and a wide range of test systems for the evaluation of the biological effects of these materials have been developed. This article reviews the biological aspects of resin-based dental materials and discusses the conventional as well as the new techniques used for biocompatibility assessment of dental materials. Keywords: Biocompatibility; dental materials; composite resin. 1. Introduction Biocompatibility is defined as “the ability of a material to function in a specific application in the presence of an appropriate host response” [1]. This definition implies an interaction among a host, a material, and an expected function of the material. All three fa
