Research on the Mechanical Properties, Fluoride and Monomer Release of a New Experimental Flowable Giomer in Comparison to Three Commercial Flowable Giomers

Giomers are hybrid dental materials with controlled fluoride release properties. The aim of this study was to characterise a new experimental flowable giomer (G) in comparison three commercial giomers: Beautifil flow Plus X F00 (B-F00), F02 (B-F02) and F03 (B-F03), Shofu, Kyoto, Japan. studied properties ion release, residual monomers mechanical data analysis performed using the ANOVA test Tukey for post hoc comparisons between groups. During first day releasing measurement, following classification resulted: B-F02 ˃ B-F03 B-F00 G at end investigation period, 60 days: B-F00. released lower percentage total than giomers. highest value recorded registered lowest values but higher imposed standard limit. There were statistically significant differences analyzed materials, terms releasing, monomer
