Does the DMA mean dimethacrylate?
 I've previously posted the long formula names for the Tetric 
filling components. Note that BIS-GMA contains the dimethacrylate.

The Tetric also contains UDMA, TEGDMA, D3MA.

I have said earlier that dimethacrylate is known to be a very potent 
allergen, much more so than methacrylate which can give ear allergies to 
hearing aid users.
