Evaluation of Surface Roughness, Water Sorption, and Solubility of Glass Ionomer Restorative Cement Incorporated with Different Antibiotics

Comparative evaluation of antibacterial effect and compressive strength of resin-modified glass-ionomer containing different antibiotics

Background and Aims: Nowadays, new techniques are used to control dental caries that have the ability to kill cariogenic bacteria. Recently, the addition of antibiotics to glass ionomers has been proposed to reduce the overall number of saliva bacteria. The aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effect and compressive strength of resin- modified glass ionomer (RMGI) containing diffe...

Evaluation of surface roughness and hardness of different glass ionomer cements

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate surface roughness and hardness of a nanofiller GIC, a resin-modified GIC, three conventional GICs, and a silver-reinforced GIC. METHODS For each material, 11 spcecimens were prepared and then stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h. The surface roughness of 5 specimens was measured using a surface profilometer before polishing and after pol...

Retention evaluation of two glass ionomer cement

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the retention of glass ionomer sealant, Vitro Molar® (DFL) and Ketac Molar Easy Mix® (3 m ESPE) as pit and fissure sealants on first permanent molars, fully or partially erupted. Methods The study sample consisted of 412 molars, among 110 children. The sealant retention was evaluated after 6 months of the application. Results The results were coll...
