The preparation of a novel class of dimethacrylate esters, by the reaction of glycidyl methacrylate with various phthalic acid isomers and their halogen substituted derivatives is described: These monomers exhibited low viscosity, possessed similar physical and mechanical properties to bis GMA, and the presence of halogen introduced X-ray opacity into the polymer giving opacity similar to tooth enamel.
