Bio-Active Restorative Materials as Alternative Pit and Fissure Sealants in Pediatric and Preventative Dentistry: In vitro Investigation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Aim: The aim of the investigation is to further develop and evaluate a versatile designed chitosan based bio-active materials on for use as bonding free fissure sealant/fissure protectors on permanent dentition and evaluate remineralization/ demineralization capacity of the materials through pH cycling, as well as shear bond strength etch and no etch prototype as well as measurement of Vickers hardness of the newly designed materials and compare the property with the commercially available standard.

Glass ionomer cement, besides being used as restorative material, can also be used as pit and fissure sealant. The use of glass ionomer cement as pit and fissure sealant has added benefit by its fluoride-releasing property that results in increased resistance of the fissures to demineralize. The capacity of a sealant to prevent microleakage into the fissure is important, since microleakage may ...
