A Twofold Comparison between Dual Cure Resin Modified Cement and Glass Ionomer Cement for Orthodontic Band Cementation

A Twofold Comparison between Dual Cure Resin Modified Cement and Glass Ionomer Cement for Orthodontic Band Cementation

AIM To test the solubility of dual cure resin modified resin cement in a food simulating solution and the shear bond strength compared to conventional Glass ionomer cement. MATERIALS AND METHOD The materials tested were self-adhesive dual cure resin modified cement and Glass Ionomer (GIC). Twenty Teflon moulds were divided into two groups of tens. The first group was injected and packed with ...

Network competition in a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement.

UNLABELLED Attempts have been made to improve the mechanical properties and convenience of use of glass-ionomer cement (GIC) by various modifications, in particular by including a free radical-polymerizable component ("resin-modified" GIC, RMGIC). Necessarily, the one replaces part of the other, but the chemistry suggests that the formation of each network separately would inhibit diffusion and...

Simplifying cementation of high-strength restorations: using an improved resin-modified glass ionomer cement.

Comparison of the solubility of three resin cements and a resin-modified glass ionomer cement: An in vitro study

Background and aims: Solubility is an important property of luting cements in determining clinical durability. The aim of this study was to compare the solubility of Panavia, Calibra and Maxcem resin cements with that of GC Fuji PLUS resin modified glass ionomer cement in three different pH values. Materials and Methods: A total of 96 specimens were prepared (8mm diameter, 4mm thickness) accor...

Clinical efficacy of the conventional glass ionomer cement and resin modified glass ionomer cement in primary molars.

BACKGROUND Dental caries is the most prevalent communicable disease in the world amongst the population of the children. OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of restorations in primary molars using two Glass ionomer cements Ketac-Molar, a Glass ionomer cement (GIC) and Vitremer, a Resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in small and medium sized cavities. METHODOLOGY A randomized controlled...
