REMINERALIZATION EFFECT OF INTERPROXIMAL CARIES ADJACENT TO GLASS IONOMER RESTORATIONS: IN VITRO STUDY USING QLF

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

Effect of a CO2 Laser on the Inhibition of Root Surface Caries Adjacent to Restorations of Glass Ionomer Cement or Composite Resin: An In Vitro Study

This study investigated the effect of CO2 laser irradiation on the inhibition of secondary caries on root surfaces adjacent to glass ionomer cement (GIC) or composite resin (CR) restorations. 40 dental blocks were divided into 4 groups: G1 (negative control): cavity preparation + adhesive restoration with CR; G2: (positive control) cavity preparation + GIC restoration; G3: equal to group 1 + CO...

Class II glass ionomer/silver cermet restorations and their effect on interproximal growth of mutans streptococci.

The release of fluoride from glass ionomer materials is one of the most important features of this newly implemented material, and the remineralization effects of this phenomenon have been documented (Hicks and Silverstone 1986). This paper examines the effects of glass ionomer/silver cermet restorations on the plaque levels of interproximal mutans streptococci. Fifteen patients with Class II l...

An in vitro investigation of marginal dentine caries abutting composite resin and glass ionomer cement restorations.

BACKGROUND There are a number of studies citing the primary reason for replacing auto cure glass ionomer cements was due to recurrent caries. The purpose of this study was to use an in vitro model to measure caries at the dentine restoration interface of bonded composite resin and auto cure glass ionomer cement restorations and to measure the amount of surface degradation occurring in the resto...

Development of caries in permanent first molars adjacent to primary second molars with interproximal caries: four-year prospective radiographic study.

PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of the primary second molars' distal surface caries on the incidence of the permanent first molars' mesial surface caries in 613 paired tooth surfaces of children ages 6 to 8 years at baseline examination. METHODS Proximal caries and its progression were diagnosed by bite-wing radiographs taken at a 1-year interval over a period of 4 years. The perma...
