Comparative clinical evaluation of giomer and glass ionomer in primary teeth caries

Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Three Commercially Available Glass Ionomer Cements in Primary Teeth

BACKGROUND This study aims to comparatively evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of three commercially available glass ionomer cements - Miracle Mix (MM) (GC America Inc., Alsip, USA), Ketac Molar (KM) (3M Corp., Minnesota, USA) and amalgomer CR (AM) (Advanced Healthcare Ltd., Kent, England) in primary teeth and later examine the mode of the adhesive failure at the interface. MATERIALS AND ...

Comparative evaluation of microleakage of a carbomer/fluoroapatite-enhanced glass-ionomer cement on primary teeth restorations.

AIM Carbomer cement represents a novel glass-ionomer which gradually mineralises into fluoroapatite. Purpose of this study was to evaluate microleakage around restorations in deciduous teeth made with composite resin, conventional glass-ionomer cement, resin-modified glass-ionomer cement and carbomer/fluoroapatite-enhanced glass-ionomer cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 40 primary uppe...

Artificial caries in primary and permanent teeth adjacent to composite resin and glass ionomer cement restorations.

Clinical evaluation of a glass ionomer cement in primary molars.

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical performance of a high powder:liquid ratio self-cure glass ionomer cement in the restoration of primary molars. METHODS Fuji IX GP (GC International, Tokyo, Japan) was used to restore 129 carious cavities (56 1-surface; 73 2-surface) in 69 patients of mean age 6 y 7 mo. Approximal cavities were prepared with a slot only design, and all ...

Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Various Glass Ionomer Cements to Dentin of Primary Teeth: An in vitro Study

AIM To evaluate and compare shear bond strength of various glass ionomer cements (GICs) to dentin of primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sample size taken for the study was 72 deciduous molars with intact buccal or lingual surfaces. Samples were randomly divided into three groups, i.e., groups A, B, and C and were restored with conventional type II GIC, type II light cure (LC) GIC, and type ...
