APPLICATION OF COMPOSITES, COMPOMERS AND GLASS-IONOMER CEMENTS IN CARIES PREVENTION ON OCCLUSAL TOOTH SURFACE

The effect of temperature on viscoelastic properties of glass ionomer cements and compomers.

The objective of this study was to determine the viscoelastic properties of different types of glass ionomer cements (GICs) and compomers under varying temperature conditions found in the mouth. The materials tested were a conventional GIC (Aqua Ionofil U), a resin modified GIC (Fuji II LC), a highly viscous GIC (Voco Ionofil Molar), and two polyacid modified composite resins/compomers (Glasios...

Glass ionomer cements.

Glass ionomer cements have been used in pediatric restorative dentistry for 20 years. Their usefulness in pediatric restorative dentistry is preferential relative to other materials because of their fluoride release, chemical adhesion to tooth structure, and availability to use in a variety of clinical scenarios. This paper reviews the use of glass ionomer materials in pediatric restorative den...

Do conventional glass ionomer cements release more fluoride than resin-modified glass ionomer cements?

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the fluoride release of conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) and resin-modified GICs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cements were grouped as follows: G1 (Vidrion R, SS White), G2 (Vitro Fil, DFL), G3 (Vitro Molar, DFL), G4 (Bioglass R, Biodinâmica), and G5 (Ketac Fil, 3M ESPE), as conventional GICs, and G6 (Vitremer, 3M ESPE), G7 (Vitro Fil LC,...
