In-vitro Comparative Evaluation of Cariostatic Potential and Marginal Microleakage of Commonly-used Glass-Ionomer Restorative Materials as Interim Therapeutic Restorations

An in vitro comparison of marginal microleakage of alternative restorative treatment and conventional glass ionomer restorations in extracted permanent molars.

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to compare the marginal leakage of cervical restorations made using alternative restorative treatment (ART) and conventional glass ionomer restorations. METHODS Sixteen permanent maxillary and mandibular first and second molars extracted for periodontal reasons with Class V carious dentin on the buccal surfaces were prepared using ART while a second set...

Microleakage of new glass ionomer restorative materials in permanent teeth.

AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage of the new glass ionomers ChemFil Rock and IonoluxAC in comparison to Fuji IX GP Extra and the composite Aelite LS Posterior in permanent teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Class V standardised U-shaped cavities were made on a total of 40 freshly extracted teeth and restored with different glass ionomer materials (4 groups of 10 sa...

Microleakage Evaluation of Class II Composite Resin Restorations with Different Thicknesses of Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer

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...

Comparative evaluation of microleakage of a carbomer/fluoroapatite-enhanced glass-ionomer cement on primary teeth restorations.

AIM Carbomer cement represents a novel glass-ionomer which gradually mineralises into fluoroapatite. Purpose of this study was to evaluate microleakage around restorations in deciduous teeth made with composite resin, conventional glass-ionomer cement, resin-modified glass-ionomer cement and carbomer/fluoroapatite-enhanced glass-ionomer cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 40 primary uppe...
