Fracture Strength of Severely Damaged Primary Anterior Teeth after Restoration with Composite Resin and Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Aim: Restoration of primary anterior teeth with severe caries extending to the gingival margin is challenging for many clinicians especially in uncooperative children. Resin modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs) can be suitable for use in such cases since they require fewer application steps than composite resins. This study aimed to assess the fracture strength of severely damaged primary anterior teeth after their coronal build-up using RMGIC and composite resin. Materials and Methods: This in vitro, experimental study was conducted on 40 primary teeth that met our inclusion criteria. After decoronization, they were cleaned and root canals were filled. In the coronal cavity, one layer of base was applied and an undercut was created in the canal wall above the base. The teeth were divided into two groups of 20 for coronal restoration. In group 1, etching, bonding, intracanal post fabrication and restoration with composite resin were carried out. In group 2, conditioning, intracanal post fabrication and restoration with Fuji II LC RMGIC were performed. After thermal cycles, fracture strength of teeth was measured and compared in the two groups using t-test. Results: Fracture strength of teeth was not significantly different between two groups restored with composite resin (5.03±2.30 MPa) and RMGIC (5.67±2.38 MPa) (P>0.05) Conclusion: In the post and crown build up of severely damaged primary anterior teeth with severe caries extending to the gingival margin, Fuji II LC RMGIC can be used as an alternative to composite resin especially in uncooperative children or treatment under general anesthesia.

Shear bond strength evaluation of resin composite to resin-modified glass-ionomer cement using three different resin adhesives vs. glass-ionomer based adhesive
Background: The clinical success of sandwich technique depends on the strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) bonding to both dentin and resin composite. Therefore, the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin composite bonded to RMGIC utilizing different resin adhesives versus a GIC-based adhesive was compared. Materials and methods: In this in vitro study, 84 holes (5×2 mm) were pre...

Background and Aim: One of the weaknesses of Class II composite resin restorations is gingival microleakage which contributes to postoperative sensitivity and secondary caries. The aim was to evaluate the microleakage in Class II composite resin restorations with different thicknesses of resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI). Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, standardized Class II s...

Bond Strength of Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement to Primary Dentin after Cutting with Different Bur Types and Dentin Conditioning
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different bur types and acid etching protocols on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) to primary dentin. Forty-eight clinically sound human primary molars were selected and randomly assigned to four groups (n=12). In G1, the lingual surface of the teeth was cut with a carbide bur until a 2.0...

UNLABELLED Attempts have been made to improve the mechanical properties and convenience of use of glass-ionomer cement (GIC) by various modifications, in particular by including a free radical-polymerizable component ("resin-modified" GIC, RMGIC). Necessarily, the one replaces part of the other, but the chemistry suggests that the formation of each network separately would inhibit diffusion and...
