Bio Chitosan/Nanodiamond GIC from Design to Applications: In Vitro Investigation

Background: Restoring the carious lesion at an early stage is an ideal treatment option in order to preserve the primary teeth until its normal anticipated exfoliation. This helps to assist in the maintenance of a healthy oral environment and arch length as well as to preserve the function of mastication and speech. However, even a simple restorative treatment plan is likely to evoke anxiety in a pediatric patient and may prove to be a challenge to the clinician. Hence when choice of the restorative material is made, simplicity of clinical application of the material should be considered along with other properties of the restorative material. The interest in the clinical use of glass ionomer cements (GIC) arose mainly from their particular advantage of requirement of a short time to fill the cavity which is a desirable property while treating young children.
