The aim of this work is to enhance the mechanical properties of the glass ionomer cement GIC (dental materials) by adding Zirconium Oxide ZrO2 in both micro and nano particles. GIC were mixed with (3, 5 and 7) wt% of both ZrO2 micro and nanoparticles separately. Compressive strength (CS), biaxial flexural strength (BFS), Vickers Microhardness (VH) and wear rate losses (WR) were investigated. The maximum compression strength was 122.31 MPa with 5 wt. % ZrO2 micro particle, while 3wt% nanoparticles give highest Microhardness and biaxial flexural strength of 88.8 VHN and 35.79 MPa respectively. The minimum wear rate losses were 3.776µg/m with 7 wt. % ZrO2 nanoparticle. GIC-containing ZrO2 micro and nanoparticles is a promising restorative material with improved mechanical properties expect wear rate losses.

Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is one of the important dental temporary filing materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding 3, 5 and 7 wt. % of TiO2 microparticles to conventional GIC powder (Riva Self Cure) on mechanical properties and its effect on absorption and solubility processes. TiO2 particles additives improved compressive strength and biaxial flexural strength, where the compressive strength increased with increasing in the added ratio, while the highest value of the biaxial flexural strength was at 3 wt.%. The addition of TiO2 particles improved the surface Vickers microhardness values, with highest value at 5 wt. %. On other hand TiO2 addition improves the wear resistance as additives increased. The most acidic beverages (the lowest pH value) were the most effective in increasing the absorption and solubility percentage of samples. Orange juice was more effective followed by cola and then coffee and tea were less effective. Finally, its recommended that patients should reduce drinking these acidic beverages because its harmful effect on dental fillings.

The mineral phase of bone and teeth is mainly hydroxyapatite. Currently there are numerous researches being conducted on the effect of the addition of hydroxyapatite to dental materials. Among them, several studied were published stating that the addition of hydroxyapatite to composite resin or glass ionomer cement resulted in an improvement in bonding strength and physical properties Therefore, this study will investigate the effect that the addition of hydroxyapatite to light curing glass ionomer cement has on bonding strength. Two different light curing glass ionomer cement products were selected (FujiⅡLC, GC Cor, Japan and Vitremer™ , 3M/ESPE, USA) and hydroxyapatite was mixed into the light curing glass ionomer cement at various concentrations to create hydroxyapatite-light curing glass ionomer cement mixture. In order to confirm that hydroxyapatite-light curing glass ionomer cement met the basic requirements of dental materials, sensitivity to ambient light, depth of cure, and flexural strength were tested. From the results of the above mentioned tests, the hydroxyapatite-light curing glass ionomer cement with the most superior physical properties for each product (15% HA-Fuji Ⅱ LC, 20% HA-Vitremer™)was bonded to the teeth and then immersed in artificial saliva(36.5°C) for four weeks. Finally the sectioned surface was observed under SEM after measuring the bonding strength. As the hydroxyapatite concentration increased, the depth of cure decreased. However flexural strength increased and there was not much change in the sensitivity to ambient light. Bonding strength, which was the main focus of this study, increased with the addition of hydroxyapatie and scanning electron microscope findings show a more cohesive type of fracture in the material with bone like apatite material formation along the tooth-material interface.

AbstractTo investigate the impact of radiotherapy on surface properties of restorative dental materials. A conventional resin composite—CRC (Aura Enamel), a bulk-fill resin composite—BFRC (Aura Bulk-fill), a conventional glass ionomer cement—CGIC (Riva self cure), and a resin-modified glass ionomer cement—RMGIC (Riva light cure) were tested. Forty disc-shaped samples from each material (8 mm diameter × 2 mm thickness) (n = 10) were produced according to manufacturer directions and then stored in water distilled for 24 h. Surface wettability (water contact angle), Vickers microhardness, and micromorphology through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before and after exposition to ionizing radiation (60 Gy) were obtained. The data were statistically evaluated using the two-way ANOVA and Tukey posthoc test (p < 0.05). Baseline and post-radiation values of contact angles were statistically similar for CRC, BFRC, and RMGIC, whilst post-radiation values of contact angles were statistically lower than baseline ones for CGIC. Exposition to ionizing radiation statistically increased the microhardness of CRC, and statistically decreased the microhardness of CGIC. The surface micromorphology of all materials was changed post-radiation. Exposure to ionizing radiation negatively affected the conventional glass ionomer tested, while did not alter or improved surface properties testing of the resin composites and the resin-modified glass ionomer cement tested.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of powdery cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) on the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC) without negatively affecting its chemical properties. Commercial GIC was reinforced with powdery CNFs (2–8 wt.%) and characterized in terms of flexural strength, compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, and fluoride-ion release properties. Powdery CNFs and samples subjected to flexural strength testing were observed via scanning electron microscopy. CNF incorporation was found to significantly improve the flexural, compressive, and diametral tensile strengths of GIC, and the corresponding composite was shown to contain fibrillar aggregates of nanofibers interspersed in the GIC matrix. No significant differences in fluoride-ion release properties were observed between the control GIC and the CNF-GIC composite. Thus, powdery CNFs were concluded to be a promising GIC reinforcement agent.

Objectives: Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is routinely placed as a restorative material in dentistry. However, due to its poor physical properties, its use is limited to cases where the level of stress on restoration is minimal. Improved formulations of GIC have been developed to overcome these drawbacks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate flexural strength of a conventional GIC (Fuji IX) against a newly developed glass carbomer cement (GCP). Materials and Methods: For Fuji IX and GCP, a total of 80 blocks were prepared and divided into 16 groups (n = 5). These groups were further categorized according to the storage medium (artificial saliva and Vaseline) and time intervals (24 h and 1, 2, and 4 weeks). A 3-point bending test was carried out, and statistical analysis was done using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. Results: Fuji IX showed a mean flexural strength of 25.14 ± 13.02 versus 24.27 ± 12.57 MPa for GCP. There was no significant statistical difference between both materials when compared under storage media. Both materials showed the highest value for flexural strength at 2 weeks of storage and lowest at 4 weeks. Conclusion: The storage media do not affect the flexural strength of the specimens with reference to time. Time is the unique factor with relative influence on mean resistance to fracture. Further testing is required to evaluate the true potential of the newly developed GCP.

The main goal of vital pulp therapy is to preserve and maintain pulpal health in teeth that have been exposed to caries, trauma, and restorative procedures. This type of endodontic treatment is very important in young permanent teeth that have not reached their complete length and exhibit thin-walled roots and wide open apices. The developments in knowledge of pulpal physiology and immunology, beside to newly introduced dental materials, have changed the treatment approaches for teeth with involved pulps. This report describes a case of a young patient in whom maxillary right central incisor suffered crown fractures because of a traumatic accident. Pulpotomy with MTA were performed in order to achieve apexogenesis and the tooth was restored with a glass ionomer cement and composite resin. The patient was reviewed over 4years.
