The fluoride ion is capable of inhibiting a wide range of enzymes-.Metabolically inactive complexes are formed by fluoride, particularly with enzymes dependent upon calcium, magnesium and iron (1), However, the fact that the highly-reactive fluoride ion is an enzyme inhibitor in vitro and ill ~, when administered at dose levels producing acute toxicity, is irrelevant to the study of any potenti...

A quantitative measure for the donor strength or "nakedness" of fluoride ion donors is presented. It is based on the free energy change associated with the transfer of a fluoride ion from the donor to a given acceptor molecule. Born-Haber cycle calculations were used to calculate both the free energy and the enthalpy change for this process. The enthalpy change is given by the sum of the fluori...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate fluoride ion release from a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji IILC improved, FLC) and a fluoridated resin cement (Panavia F, PF) following different curing methods and storage conditions. The specimens, which were either light-cured (LC) or chemical-cured (CC), were stored in either distilled water (DW) or demineralizing solution (DS; pH 4.5) fo...

background: the most important limitation of glass ionomer cements (gics) is the weak mechanical properties. our previous research showed that higher mechanical properties could be achieved by addition of forsterite (mg2sio4) nanoparticles to ceramic part of gic. the objective of the present study was to fabricate a glass ionomer- mg2sio4 nanocomposite and to evaluate the effect of addition of ...

introduction: glass-ionomer cements (gics) are one of the most important dental restorative biomaterials. the aim of this study was to synthesize glass-ionomer‒silk fiber composite and evaluate the effect of adding natural degummed silk fiber on the bioactivity and the ability to release fluoride by glass-ionomer cement. materials and methods: in this study, commercial fuji ii glass-ionomer cem...

In previous studies of the reactions of fluoride ion with synthetic hydroxylapatite and powdered enamel and dentin (1,2), it was thought that low concentrations of fluoride ion might be affecting the rate of recrystallization of the apatites. Neuman et al. (3) found that fluoride impregnation had no effect on calcium and phosphate exchange of glycol-ashed bone. The experiments described below w...

OBJECTIVE To investigate and compare the amount of fluoride release of conventional, resin modified and nanofilled resin modified glass ionomer cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tablets of glass-ionomer cements were immersed in deionized water and incubated at 37°C. After 1, 2, 7, 15 and 30 days, fluoride ion was measured under normal atmospheric conditions by fluoride ion selective electrode. B...

A new easy-to-synthesize chemosensor, 3,3'-bis(indolyl)-4-chlorophenylmethane (hereafter S), was designed, synthesized and employed as a selective optical chemosensor for fluoride ions.(1)H NMR and density functional studies on the system have been carried out to determine the nature of the interaction between S and X(-) (X = inorganic anions) responsible for the significant fluoride-induced ch...

Simple chemical and thermal treatments were applied to prepare fluorinated porcine hydroxyapatite (FPHA). Morphology of FPHA was observed using SEM. Physiochemical characteristics, namely crystalline phase, chemical composition, functional groups, and binding energy of fluorine were investigated using XRD, EDX, FTIR, and XPS respectively. Concentration of free fluoride ion released from FPHA in...
