resorcinol-formaldehyde resin
used in endodontic therapy in many foreign countries; contains two potentially toxic components, formaldehyde (liquid) and resorcinol (powder); zinc oxide or barium sulfate may be used for radiopacity; when 10% sodium hydroxide is added to the mixture, polymerization occurs, which can form a brick-hard red material that has no known solvent
