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...

BACKGROUND Chlorhexidine gluconate is a widely used antimicrobial agent. Adding chlorhexidine and quaternary ammonium compounds to filling materials, such as composite resins, acrylic resins, and glass ionomer cements increases the antibacterial property of restorative materials. This study includes antibacterial property of glass ionomer restorative cements with chlorhexidine gluconate. AIM ...

AIM The objective of this study was to assess the effect of heat application on the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN experimental design. The effect of heat on glass ionomer cements during their setting was evaluated by measuring compressive strength, flexural strength and microhardness. Moroever, temperature changes from one surface of the...

Proper selection of the luting agent is fundamental to avoid failure due to lack of retention in post-retained crowns. The objective of this study was to investigate the tensile bond strength and failure mode of glass fiber posts luted with different cements. Glass fiber posts were luted in 40 mandibular premolars, divided into 4 groups (n = 10): Group 1--resin-modified glass ionomer RelyX Luti...

Regardless of the excellent properties of glass ionomer cements, their poor mechanical properties limit their applications to non-load bearing areas. This study aimed to investigate the effect of incorporated short, chopped and randomly distributed flax fibers (0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 25 wt%) on setting reaction kinetics, and mechanical and morphological properties of glass ionomer cements. Addit...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the bonding strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus, water absorption and the expansion after water storage of new self-adhesive resin cements to commercially available dental cements. METHODS Two types (hand-mix and auto-mix) of new self-adhesive resin cements (SAC-H and SAC-A, Kuraray Medical), one conventional resin cement (Panavia F2.0), t...

This research aims to develop glass ionomer cement for dental application. Several factors that possibly affect the mechanical properties of our developed glass ionomer cements were studied. Developed cements were investigated for their compressive strength according to ISO 9917-1:2007 in comparison with the commercial glass ionomer cement. The different particle sizes and pre-cementation of gl...

objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the translucency of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (rmgic) and polyacid-modified composite resin (pcmr) over a period of one year. materials and methods: the study was done on three rmgic (fuji ii lc, photac-fil aplicap and vitremer) and one pcmr (dyract). a conventional gic (fuji cap ii) and two composite resins (tetric and z 100) were ...

This study visually compared the radiopacity of seven restorative materials (3 resin-modified glass-ionomer cements, 3 polyacid-modified composite resins, and 1 conventional glass-ionomer cement) to a sound tooth structure sample, and an aluminium stepwedge. All hybrid materials were more radiopaque, except for one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement, than both the tooth structure and conventio...
