This study compared the flexural strengths and bond strengths to dentin and enamel of two brands of silver-reinforced glass ionomers with their respective unfilled glass-ionomer cements for luting. The results led to the following conclusions. 1. No significant differences in bond strengths to tooth substrates were recorded between silver-reinforced and unfilled glass ionomers. 2. Although the ...

Aim: Orthodontic brackets during their wear cause demineralization of enamel, which is the initial step in caries development. The prevention such spots crucial to ensure healthy teeth, but patients’ compliance not most optimal way. aim this study was compare antimicrobial properties fluoride-containing orthodontic materials without additional fluoride. Materials and Methods: Antibacterial effe...

INTRODUCTION Microleakage is an important consideration in primary dentition because the floor of the cavity preparation may be close to the pulp. The added insult to the pulp caused by seepage of irritants around the restoration and through the thin dentin may produce irreversible pulp damage. AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of three light cure...

background: as glass ionomers have the ability to reload fluoride from outside sources, the aim was to compare the recharge pattern of six glass ionomer cements after exposure to fluoride. materials and methods: fuji vii, fuji ix, riva pink, riva bleach, ketac fil and fuji ix extra were investigated. the fluoride-containing materials used were tooth paste and mouth wash (colgate). specimens of ...

one of the main criteria in evaluating the restorative materials is the degree of microleakage. the aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of glass ionomer restored cavities prepared by er:yag laser or turbine and bur.twenty extracted caries-free deciduous posterior teeth were selected for this study. the teeth were randomly divided into two groups for cavity preparation. cavities in...

Secondary caries are a worldwide public and socioeconomic problem. The placement of restorations can lead to the development of environmental conditions favorable to microbial colonization, especially on the tooth/restoration interface, which is a predisposing factor for secondary caries. The aim of this study was to evaluate microbial retention on conventional (Chelon-Fil and Vidrion R) and re...

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are commonly used as restorative materials. Th e eff ect of GICs on diff erent cell types varies. Stem cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth, SHED are a source for dental tissue regeneration. Th e necrosis and infl ammation that eventually follows necrosis can disturb this regenerative process. We tested seven GICs including Fuji I, Fuji II, Fuji VIII, Fuji IX...

Introduction: Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a restorative material used in pediatric dentistry, which attaches to dental hard tissues and has cariostatic properties due to the ability for fluoride release. The present study aimed to assess the fluoride release and uptake capacity of two GICs in the presence of various fluoride sources. Methods: This in-vitro study was conducted on 120 disks com...
