Bisphenol A is a compound used in many products as a strengthening agent. In dental sealants and composites, the chemical is used as an alternative to mercury amalgam.

BPA was first discovered to leach from dental products into humans in 1996 when Nicolas Olea and colleagues at the University of Granada in Spain found that saliva can cause fillings and sealants to break down, releasing the chemical into the body.
