Abstract
Background: The effect of the antimicrobial agents benzalkonium chloride (BC) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on the restorative glass ionomer tooth cement (GIC) Fuji IX was investigated. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to determine whether the addition of antimicrobial compounds impairs the physical and mechanical properties of the commercial GIC Fuji IX. Materials and Methods: The concentrations of 1%, 2% and 3% of antimicrobial agentsBC and CPC, by weight of the cement, were added during the mixing phase and different effects were studied. In most samples, there was a slight change in setting time. Samples with 4 mm diameter and 6 mm height were used to measure compressive strength and release. The release of antimicrobial compounds was analysed by UV-visible spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 259 nm for CPC and 214 nm for BC, in deionized water. Results: The obtained results showed that the release takes place through the diffusion mechanism in the first 2-3 hours, and the diffusion coefficients vary depending on the concentration. The values range is from 1.97 x 10-14 -1.78 x 10-12 m2 s-1. Release of antimicrobial compound had ceased after seven days, with total release representing between 2.15 and 4.84% of the initial additive loading. Conclusion: Both compounds have minor effect on the setting time of the GIC. The reduction of compressive strength is not statistically significant. CPC containing cements (1 and 2%), were statistically significantly weaker, than those containing BC (p<0.05).Both antimicrobial compounds have shown constant release from the GIC with values which are directly proportional both to the time and to the concentration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the surface properties of two commercially available sealants (Pro Seal® (PS) and Opal® SealTM (OS)) in terms of fluoride(F) release, biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus and the ability to resist acid penetration. SETTING University of Nebraska Medical Center. MATERIAL & METHODS Discs of similar diameter and thickness were made from OS and PS. Discs were soaked in double-distilled water, and F released was measured with fluoride meter daily for 14 consecutive days, then at 21 and 28 days. Biofilm formation was evaluated with Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli grown on sealant discs using confocal microscopy. Extracted human teeth (n=8) with sealant-coated buccal surfaces and untreated lingual surfaces were exposed to 0.1M lactic acid(pH=4.5) to test the acid penetration. After 1-4 weeks of exposure, teeth were subjected to microhardness testing and SEM microscopy. RESULTS PS released significantly higher levels of F than OS. PS showed more S. mutans adherence than OS, whereas Lactobacillus did not show any differences in adherence. Both sealants protected enamel surfaces, showing statistically significant difference in the depth of acid penetration compared to their unsealed control sides. CONCLUSION F release was adequate to aid in remineralization, although clinically it would not likely aid in preventing demineralization as there was no prolonged release of F by both sealants tested. S. mutans adherence to OS surface was less compared to PS surface, which could be of relevance in biofilm formation and white spot lesions. Both sealants protected enamel surfaces from acid penetration.

Release of fluoride from orthodontic adhesives and penetration into enamel. J Orofac Orthop 2016; 78:185-192. [PMID: 27909758 DOI: 10.1007/s00056-016-0072-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2016] [Accepted: 10/19/2016] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to compare fluoride release from three orthodontic adhesives and fluoride penetration into the enamel surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 156 extracted human premolar teeth were randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group (without bonding) with 39 teeth per group. Brackets were bonded to teeth using Fuji Ortho LC®, Illuminate®, or Light Bond®. The amount of fluoride released (ppm) into artificial saliva was measured by a fluoride ion-selective electrode connected to an ion analyzer on days 1, 3, 7, and 30. Fluoride penetration was investigated after 1, 2, and 3 months; 13 teeth of each group were randomly selected at every period of study and sectioned across the center of the bracket. The surface of the cross-section was studied under the scanning electron microscope, and the fluoride concentration (weight%) at 1, 2, and 3 µm below the outer enamel surface was determined by energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. RESULTS On days 1, 3, 7, and 30, the mean cumulative fluoride release from the three orthodontic adhesives were significantly different (p < 0.05). Illuminate® released the greatest fluoride, followed by Fuji Ortho LC® and Light Bond®. After 1, 2, and 3 months, fluoride penetration into enamel was only found from Fuji Ortho LC®. The fluoride concentration decreased with depth but there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) over time at all depths. CONCLUSIONS The in vitro study indicated that fluoride release is a common property of the three fluoride-releasing orthodontic adhesives: Illuminate®, Fuji Ortho LC®, and Light Bond®. However, detectable fluoride penetration is a specific property of Fuji Ortho LC®. Further clinical studies should be undertaken to investigate the benefit of the two adhesives Illuminate® and Fuji Ortho LC® on protection of enamel demineralization.

Abstract
Abstract
Glass polyalkenoate cements (GPCs) have been used in dentistry for over 40 years. These novel bioactive materials are the result of a reaction between a finely ground glass (base) and a polymer (acid), usually poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), in the presence of water. This article reviews the types of PAA used as reagents (including how they vary by molar mass, molecular weight, concentration, polydispersity and content) and the way that they control the properties of the conventional GPCs (CGPCs) formulated from them. The article also considers the effect of PAA on the clinical performance of CGPCs, including biocompatibility, rheological and mechanical properties, adhesion, ion release, acid erosion and clinical durability. The review has critically evaluated the literature and clarified the role that the polyacid component of CGPCs plays in setting and maturation. This review will lead to an improved understanding of the chemistry and properties of the PAA phase which will lead to further innovation in the glass-based cements field.

Abstract
The effect of brushing with two abrasive levels on the fluoride release of high-viscosity glass ionomers (GIs) was investigated. Forty-eight GI discs were fabricated and randomly assigned to one of the four groups. Treatments, performed for 30 days, included exposure to a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solution without fluoride (CMC-F), CMC with 275 ppm fluoride (CMC+F), CMC with fluoride plus brushing with a low abrasive slurry (relative enamel abrasivity = 4; L-ab), and CMC with fluoride plus brushing with a high abrasive slurry (relative enamel abrasivity = 7; H-ab). Fluoride release was measured after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days. Surface analysis was performed using optical profilometry in addition to scanning electron microscopy. Data were compared using one-way analysis of variance (α = 0.05). Fluoride release was significantly different among groups, with group H-ab showing the highest rates. Cumulative fluoride release was 10% and 30% greater in groups L-ab and H-ab than in group CMC+F. High surface roughness values were associated with H-ab as well as greater exposure of silica fillers, as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Fluoride release from conventional GIs is enhanced by brushing with high abrasive slurries.

Abstract
This article focuses on glass-ionomer cement (GIC) and its role in the clinical management of caries. It begins with a brief description of GIC, the mechanism of fluoride release and ion exchange, the interaction between GIC and the external environment, and finally the ion exchange between GIC and the tooth at the internal interface. The importance of GIC, as a tool, in caries management, in minimal intervention dentistry (MI), and Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) also will be highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was (1) to compare the fluoride release profile of an experimental composite to commercial GICs, resin-modified GICs, and composite resins; (2) to assess the fluoride release process. METHODS Commercial materials (n = 3) were prepared according to manufacturers' directions. The experimental composite (n = 3) consisted of 78 wt% filler and 22 wt% resin. The resin consisted of 19 wt% BisGMA, 38 wt% UDMA, 19 wt% TEGDMA, and 24 wt% HEMA. Disc specimens were placed into 25 ml of deionized water in sealed polyethylene vials and shaked at 1.4 Hz at 37 degrees C. Fluoride release was measured using a fluoride-ion specific electrode at different time intervals up to 284 days. RESULTS The fluoride release rate of the experimental composite demonstrated the highest rate of release within the first day (p = 0.05), but decreased significantly by day 7. Release rates of the commercial glass-ionomer cements and resin-modified glass-ionomer cements thereafter were significantly higher than the experimental and commercial composites at p = 0.05. Among the materials studied, cumulative fluoride release is adequately described by a two-term equation consisting of an initial fluoride release via a rapid dissolution process followed by a long-term diffusive release. SIGNIFICANCE An increase in the hydrophilicity of the polymer matrix through the introduction of HEMA improved the fluoride release over the short term during which dissolution occurs. Such a release behavior could be beneficial if it results in a fluoride reservoir that could be maintained by a prolonged slower release thereafter.

Abstract
Salivary gland hypofunction and complaints of xerostomia are common in elderly patients, irrespective of their living situation. Medication use is frequently related to dry mouth symptoms and reductions in salivary flow rates. Patients with reduced salivary flow are at increased risk for caries, oral fungal infections, swallowing problems, and diminished or altered taste. Oral health care providers should institute aggressive preventive measures and recommend palliative care for patients with significant reduction in salivary gland function. The systemic agents pilocarpine and cevimeline may help selected patients. Selective use of fluoride-releasing restorative materials and conservative treatment plans are recommended for this patient group.

Abstract
Fluoride is added to many dental restorative materials, including glass-ionomer cements, for the specific purpose of leaching fluoride into the surrounding tissues to provide secondary caries inhibition. During the caries process, an acidic environment attacks the dental tissues as well as the glass-ionomer cement. We hypothesized that pH significantly affects the rate of release of fluoride from the glass-ionomer cement. A continuous-flow fluoride-measuring system that monitors the amount of fluoride released over time was used to determine the release of fluoride from a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (KetacFil). The results show that the release rate began with a fast burst of fluoride which quickly diminished to low levels in 3 days. Under neutral pH conditions, the rate of fluoride release at 72 hrs was significantly slower than at pH 4.

Abstract
The release of fluoride from restorative materials (Vitremer, Ketac-Fil, Fuji II LC and Freedom) was evaluated during two 15-day periods, before and after a topical application of acidulated phosphate fluoride gel (APF). For each material, 6 specimens were made, which were immersed in 2 ml of deionized water. The fluoride concentration dosages in the solutions were read at intervals of 24 hours for 15 days. After this period, the specimens of each material received treatment with APF gel for 4 minutes and the fluoride released was analyzed at 24-hour intervals during the following 15 days. The analysis of variance and the Tukey test (p < 0.05) showed that the total mean fluoride released during the initial 15 days was greater for Vitremer and Ketac-Fil and lower for Fuji II LC and Freedom; and in the final 15 days there was a difference in release readings, with the greatest value for Vitremer, followed by Fuji II LC, Ketac-Fil and Freedom. The comparison of the results between the 1st day and the 16th day (after gel application) showed a greater fluoride release on the 16th day for Vitremer, Fuji II LC and Freedom and was equal for Ketac-Fil. Although all the materials evaluated gained fluoride with the application of APF, the data suggest that the resin-modified ionomers are more efficient in releasing fluoride to the medium than the other materials.

Abstract
The compressive strength, fluoride releases and recharge profiles of 15 commercial fluoride-releasing restorative materials have been studied. The materials include glass ionomers (Fuji IX, Ketac Molar, Ketac Silver, and Miracle Mix), resin-modified glass ionomers (Fuji II LC Improved, Photac-Fil, and Vitremer), compomers (Compoglass, Dyract AP, F2000, and Hytac) and composite resins (Ariston pHc, Solitaire, Surefil and Tetric Ceram). A negative linear correlation was found between the compressive strength and fluoride release (r(2)=0.7741), i.e., restorative materials with high fluoride release have lower mechanical properties. The fluoride-releasing ability can be partially regenerated or recharged by using a topical fluoride agent. In general, materials with higher initial fluoride release have higher recharge capability (r(2)=0.7088). Five equations have been used in curve fitting to describe the cumulative fluoride release from different materials. The equation [F](c)=[F](I)(1-e(-bt))+betat best describes the cumulative fluoride release for most glass ionomers, resin-modified glass ionomers, and some high fluoride-releasing compomers and composites, whereas [F](c)=[F](I)/(t(1/2)+t)+alphat best describes the cumulative fluoride release for most compomers and composite resins. The clinic applications of different fluoride-releasing materials have also been discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare, in vitro, the fluoride release from a conventional glass ionomer cement (Ketac-Cem), a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (3M-Multicure) and a polyacid modified composite (Ultra Band-Lok) using a banded tooth model and a disc model with the same mean cement weight. METHODS Forty pairs of caries-free third molars were collected and divided into two groups, each of 20 teeth. One tooth from each pair was banded with Ketac-Cem and the other with Ultra Band-Lok or 3M-Multicure; the average band size for each cement group was the same. Two coats of nail varnish were painted on each tooth to within 1mm of the band margin. Five discs (4.5mm diameter and 2mm depth) were prepared for each cement, these dimensions having been calculated so that the mean cement weight of the banded tooth model matched that of the disc model for each cement. The fluoride released into 2ml of deionised water, from each banded tooth or disc, was measured at regular intervals over 30 days using an Orion ion-selective electrode connected to an ion analyser. RESULTS At 30 days, for both banded tooth and disc models, the mean cumulative fluoride release was greatest from 3M-Multicure followed by Ketac-Cem, which in turn released more fluoride than Ultra Band-Lok. These differences were all significant (p<0.05). Despite having the same mean cement weight, the banded tooth model for Ketac-Cem and 3M-Multicure released approximately 3-4 times more cumulative fluoride than the disc model after 30 days (p<001). For Ultra Band-Lok, both models released comparable levels of fluoride (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cement type, specimen geometry and surface area appear to influence significantly fluoride release characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of this in vitro study were firstly to compare fluoride release from a disc model of two orthodontic cements with various surfaces varnished, reducing the surface area by 25, 50 and 75%; secondly, to measure the fluoride release from previously exhausted discs of the same cements following removal of various depths of surface material. METHODS Forty discs of each cement, Fuji Ortho LC and Ultra Band-Lok, (6mm diameter by 3mm) were divided into two groups of 20 discs each. For each material, the first group was divided further into four groups of five discs, one group acting as control, while the other three groups were varnished reducing the surface area by 25, 50 and 75%, respectively. The second group was exhausted initially over a 60 day pre-experimental period and was subsequently divided into four groups of five discs, one group acting as control. The other three groups had material ground from one of the flat surfaces, to depths of 10, 100 or 1000 microm, to reveal a fresh surface. In both studies, the discs were immersed either daily (up to day 20) or twice weekly (up to day 60) in fresh 2ml aliquots of deionised water. The fluoride concentration in the deionised water was measured at the end of the experimental period. RESULTS For each cement, the relationship between the cumulative fluoride release and the percentage of the surface covered was clearly non linear at both 5 and 60 days. Fuji Ortho LC proved to release significantly greater amounts of fluoride at both 5 days and 60 days compared with Ultra Band-Lok. The results for Ultra Band-Lok were also significant when compared to the control group, but significantly less fluoride was released when compared with Fuji Ortho LC. When comparing the 25 and 50% covered discs, the amount of fluoride released was not significantly different for both cements. Furthermore, the relationship between fluoride release and depth was clearly non linear for both cements. CONCLUSIONS For the materials tested in this study, reducing the surface area of the discs did not reduce the cumulative fluoride release in a linear fashion. In addition, the previously exhausted discs began to release fluoride again, but this fell to concentrations similar to the control discs after the initial 5-day period for both cements. This suggests that further traces of previously unreleased fluoride had become available from the subsurface of these cements. The pattern of fluoride release was similar for all models tested.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate certain processes of fluoride production which enable glass ionomer cements to leach fluoride. Two fluoroaluminosilicate glasses, G338 and LG26 were used. The free and total fluoride which could be dissolved from the glasses was measured, before and after acetic acid washing. Both glasses contained appreciable amounts of soluble fluoride prior to any acid treatment. The latter process reduced the amount to some 75% of the original levels. Replacing the customary polymeric acid with propionic acid produced a cement which disintegrated in water allowing the amount of fluoride generated by the cement forming process to be measured. Cement production increased soluble fluoride by a further 3%. Both glasses behaved similarly when undergoing the various processes. G338 produced significantly greater quantities of fluoride, of the order of 10, compared with LG26 although containing only three times the amount of fluoride in the glass formula. A substantial proportion, over half, of the total fluoride was complexed especially after contact with cement and when G338 was used. During the period of the experiment, 21 days, total fluoride release did not seem to depend on the square root of time.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the fluoride release of 3 orthodontic adhesives using disks and bracketed teeth with different storage protocols. The adhesives used were a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) (Fuji Ortho LC; GC America, Aslip, Ill), a polyacid-modified composite resin (PMCR)(Assure; Reliance Orthodontic Products, Itasca, Ill), and a composite control, Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif). Metal brackets were bonded to the buccal and lingual surfaces of 120 extracted human premolars. Five plastic containers holding 4 teeth (8 brackets) were used for each adhesive protocol. The samples were stored in containers holding 4 mL of deionized water at 37 degrees C for 28 and 84 days for the brackets and disks, respectively. The bracketed samples released larger initial amounts of fluoride compared with the disk samples during the first 5 to 6 days for both fluoride-releasing adhesives. The PMCR (Assure) released more fluoride (mg/cm(2)/day) than did the RMGI (Fuji Ortho LC) in all protocols with the exception of daily protocols when values diminished below the RMGI values near the 24th day and between the 56th and the 70th days for the bracketed and disk samples, respectively. Inconsistent values for fluoride release were noted in the bracket and disk samples when compared with daily versus cumulative water changes. Daily water changes revealed higher fluoride release levels (brackets), but this trend was not evident in the disk samples. Daily water changes may yield more clinically relevant data on fluoride release.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in vitro study on fluoride (F) release from conventional and metal-reinforced glass ionomer investigated the following: (1) the release of F in deionized water compared to artificial saliva, (2) the effect of various surface coatings on F release, (3) the uptake of released F by hydroxyapatite, (4) the expression of the release data in a mathematical model, (5) F content in the powders and set materials, and (6) surface morphology of varnished and resin-coated specimens. METHODS Glass ionomer Ketac-Fil (KF), Fuji II (FJ), and Ketac-Silver (KS) were mixed according to the manufacturers' instructions, and prepared into specimens of 137.8 mm2 surface area. All three specimens were suspended in 50 ml of deionized water, artificial saliva, or aqueous solution of hydroxyapatite and submitted to constant agitation at 37 degrees C. In a separate experiment, the specimens were coated with varnish or light-cured bonding resin and tested for F release in solutions similar to those for uncoated specimens. The release of F occurred for 28 days. The concentration of F was measured with F-ion-specific electrode. RESULTS All tested products showed a strong initial rate of F release which decreased with time until it reached a relatively steady rate after two weeks. The F released from KF and FJ was comparable in both pattern and magnitude. They released approximately four times more F than KS. In all cases, the release of F in artificial saliva was significantly (p < 0.001) less than in deionized water. Surface coating the specimens significantly reduced the F release ( p < 0.05 top < 0.001, depending on the product and type of coating). The inhibitory effect of coating markedly decreased with time. Resin coating reduced F release more than varnish in KF and KS, but not for FJ. Essentially, all F released in aqueous solution was taken up by the hydroxyapatite, with FJ ranking the highest in increasing hydroxyapatite F concentration. Over the 28 days, the quantities of F released from FJ, KF, and KS were, respectively, 3.8, 2.3, and 1.0% of the total F content in the specimens. The F concentration in the set KS was 53.9 and 72.5% of that found in KF and FJ, respectively. The release data as a function of time were best described by the power curve. Micromorphological examinations revealed remnants of surface coatings on specimens after 14 days storage in artificial saliva. CONCLUSIONS Glass ionomer cements released significantly less F in artificial saliva than in deionized water. Surface coating the specimens substantially reduced F release. These clinically relevant factors were not considered by many in vitro release studies which overestimate the F availability from glass ionomers. A recall appointment 24 h after the placement of glass ionomer restoration should be given for surface finishing.

Abstract
This study investigates the fluoridation of four conventional glass ionomer cements (GIC) (ChemFil Superior encapsulated, Fuji Cap II, Ketac-Fil and Hi Dense) and three resin-modified GIC (RM-GIC) (Fuji II LC encapsulated, Photac-Fil and Vitremer). The fluoride release of matured restorative GIC was measured as a function of time, after four repeated fluoridations in a 2% NaF aqueous solution for 1 h. This release was corrected for the intrinsic release as determined with a control group. It was demonstrated that application of fluoride is capable of recharging GIC but the subsequent high fluoride release only lasts for one or a few days. Moreover, the fluoride release behaviour depends on the cement formulation. Comparable to the intrinsic release, the net fluoride release after fluoridation is composed of a short- and a long-term process, the former being predominant after fluoridation. The total amount of fluoride released according to the short-term process increases with consecutive fluoridations. This is especially pronounced for the RM-GIC, who exhibit a relatively slow release after fluoridation as compared to the conventional GIC. An explanation for these results is suggested on the basis of the physicochemistry of the setting reaction of the cements and of the fluoridation process.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to compare fluoride release from two cement disc models (partially varnished and unvarnished) of three orthodontic bonding materials with fluoride release from the same materials when used to bond an orthodontic bracket onto a tooth surface. A resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Vitremer) and a compomer material (Dyract Ortho) were compared with a conventional resin adhesive (Right-On). Ten discs (3.0 mm diameter and 1.5 mm thick) of each material were manufactured in a silicone mould and ten premolar teeth were bonded with orthodontic brackets using each material. All the premolar teeth were covered with nail varnish up to the bracket periphery and five of the discs for each material were coated with nail varnish on both upper and lower surfaces which halved the surface area. The fluoride released into 2 ml of deionised water, from each tooth or disc, was measured at regular intervals over 60 days. At 60 days, cumulative fluoride release was highest from the unvarnished discs, less for the varnished discs and least from the tooth-bracket model for both test materials. Despite having twice the surface area, the unvarnished disc model released only 1.2 to 1.5 times more fluoride than the varnished disc model. Compared with the tooth-bracket model, the unvarnished discs released 3.0 to 4.5 times more fluoride, whereas the varnished discs released only 2.2 to 3.7 times more fluoride. For the materials tested in this study, halving the surface of the discs did not reduce the cumulative fluoride release by half. The tooth/bracket model with minimal bonding material demonstrated substantial cumulative fluoride release. The pattern of fluoride release was similar for all models tested.

Abstract
Atualmente no mercado odontológico existem diversos tipos de materiais restauradores que liberam flúor com o objetivo de diminuir ou eliminar as cáries recorrentes. Considerando-se a diferença de composição desses materiais, foi avaliada sua capacidade de liberação de flúor. Foram avaliados os materiais restauradores: Chelon-fil (ESPE), Vitremer (3M), Variglass (Dentsply), Dyract (Dentsply) e Tetric (Vivadent). Confeccionaram-se seis amostras cilíndricas (área = 1,65 cm2) de cada material, as quais foram imersas individualmente em 2,0 ml de água deionizada, que foi trocada diariamente durante 15 dias. A liberação de flúor foi determinada após adição de volume igual de tampão TISAB II às soluções. Para a análise da concentração de flúor foi utilizado um eletrodo específico para flúor Orion 96-09, acoplado a um analisador de íons Orion EA-940. Todos os materiais seguiram o mesmo padrão de liberação de flúor. As maiores médias de flúor liberado dentro de cada material foram encontradas no 1º dia, decrescendo bruscamente no 2º e 3º dias, e a quantidade de flúor liberado apresentou um decréscimo com o passar dos dias até atingir um nível quase constante. A liberação média de flúor durante o período de avaliação (média e desvio padrão) em µg F/cm2 foi: CHE = 7,62 ± 0,76A, VIT = 5,91 ± 0,79B, VAR = 2,72 ± 0,25C, DYR = 1,50 ± 0,17 D, TET = 0,136 ± 0,016 E. Médias seguidas por letras distintas diferem entre si ao nível de significância de 5% (Tukey). Os resultados mostraram que a composição dos materiais restauradores influencia de maneira significativa sua liberação de flúor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigates the fluoride release of glass ionomers in an acetic acid solution in order to substantiate a model according to which the short-term release results from an elution of loosely bound fluoride and the long-term release from an erosive leaching of the glass particles in the bulk of the cement. METHODS Individual fluoride release profiles of five specimens of 10 acid-base setting restorative glass ionomers were obtained by determining the amounts of fluoride released by each sample at 37 degrees C in consecutive elutions for up to 140 days with 25 ml of a 0.01 mol/l acetic acid solution with pH = 4. Differences in the fluoride release profiles were determined with a Multivariate Data Analysis on the basis of a Principal Component Analysis. RESULTS The fluoride release profiles of the 10 glass ionomers can be classified into five distinct groups which are characterized by a cumulative fluoride release described by the equation [F]c = [F]l t/(t + t1/2) + beta square root of t. The parameters ([F]l, t1/2) and beta are characteristic for the materials in the groups, and refer to the short-term and long-term fluoride release, respectively. The acidic solution enhances both processes compared to an elution in water, the effect being more pronounced for the long-term release. SIGNIFICANCE The fluoride release mechanism is intrinsically the same as determined for elutions in water. The increased amount of fluoride released under acidic conditions, especially in the long term, corroborates that an erosive leaching of the glass particles in the bulk of the cement accounts for the long-term fluoride release.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The amounts of fluoride released by different glass ionomer formulations were compared on the basis of individual fluoride release profiles in order to derive the effect of the physical and chemical formulation on the fluoride release process. METHODS The fluoride release profiles of each of five specimens of ten glass ionomer cements setting by an acid-base reaction were investigated. The profiles were obtained by determining the amount of fluoride released [F] after equilibrating the samples at 37 degrees C in distilled water for 140 d. The [[F],t]-profiles were compared with a Multivariate Data Analysis on the basis of a Principal Component Analysis. RESULTS The Multivariate Data Analysis reveals that eight of the ten glass ionomers can be classified into four distinct groups. When the cumulative amount of fluoride released by each sample, [F]c, is calculated and fitted as a function of time, a regression analysis (r > 0.99) reveals that [F]c for all samples is most adequately represented by [F]c = ([F]l x t)/(t + t1/2) + beta x square root of t, indicating that two kinetic processes are responsible for the fluoride release profiles. SIGNIFICANCE A comparison of the parameters of this equation shows that the physicochemical rationale for the classification of the glass ionomers conforms to differences in the kinetics of these processes which are determined by the qualitative and quantitative chemical composition as well as by the presentation (hand-mixed vs. capsules) of the glass ionomer. From the classification, it becomes apparent that different formulations can result in the same fluoride release profiles.

Abstract
Fluoride release from four light-activated glass ionomer cements, including newly developed restorative cements, was evaluated and compared with four conventional acid-base glass ionomer cements. There was no significant difference between the group of light-activated cements and the group of conventional cements, and light-activated cements were found to have a potential for releasing fluoride equivalent to that of conventional cements. The amount and rate of release varied among cements. It may be affected not only by the formation of complex fluoride compounds and their interaction with polyacrylic acid but also by the type and amount of resin used for the photochemical polymerization reaction.

Abstract
The present study investigated whether variability in fluoride release was reduced by use of a capsulated system as compared with a hand-mixed system based on the same qualitative and quantitative glass-ionomer formulation. Five operators independently prepared five disks of each type of glass-ionomer restorative filling material. The amount of fluoride released in water by each specimen after 1, 2, 3, 7, and 14 days was determined. The variance and the mean value of the fluoride release at a given time were independent of the operator, regardless of the glass-ionomer system considered. However, the variance and the mean value of the fluoride release at a given time were considerably greater for the capsulated system than for the hand-mixed system. A regression analysis further showed that the cumulative amount of fluoride released, [F], as a function of the time t conformed to [F] = a[1 - exp (-bt)] + ct0.5 for each glass-ionomer specimen, suggesting the simultaneous occurrence of two processes. Whereas the parameter b was the same for the hand-mixed and capsulated system and was independent of both a and c, the latter parameters were positively correlated. Moreover, the values for a and c were significantly greater for the capsulated system. On the basis of these results, it is concluded that the mixing process drastically influences the short-term as well as the long-term fluoride release.

Abstract
Tensile bond force of three glass ionomers was evaluated in vitro. Ketac-Cem and Aqua-Cem, two conventional cements, and light-cured Vitrabond were used in this study. The results were then compared with the values obtained for a composite resin (Concise) by means of the Mann-Whitney two-sample rank test adjusted for ties. The composite resin had a significantly higher bond force (152.5 N) than any of the other adhesives (5.5 to 27.53 N) used. Tensile bond strength was also calculated and the failure bond site investigated on the enamel surface was evaluated. The composite resin and the two conventional glass ionomers used had high cement percentages (86% to 62%) adhering to the enamel surface. Cement remaining on enamel was lower (20%) for the light-cured glass ionomer. It was concluded that the in vitro bond force of Vitrabond might be adequate for orthodontic bracket bonding.

Abstract
Fluoride availability from two glass-ionomer luting agents, Ketac-Cement and Aqua-Cement, was monitored after a 1-h treatment in distilled water at pH 7. The recorded results were then compared to the ones obtained from those same cements, after 1 h, in saliva, in water pretreated with saliva (pH 7 and 4.5), and in albumen and phosphate buffer solutions (pH 7). The Mann-Whitney two-sample rank test was utilized in order to identify the differences. The presence of proteins and phosphate reduced fluoride availability. A reduction in the pH from 7 to 4.5 resulted in an increased rate of fluoride release, in water, from glass-ionomers pretreated with saliva. The present study indicates that fluoride availability from glass-ionomers, in vivo, is pH controlled. The rate controlling factors appear to be phosphate and proteins.

Abstract
In the study, scanning electronmicroscopy and x-ray microanalysis techniques were used to examine a silver-reinforced glass ionomer cement. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate surface topography and microstructure. Microcracking and a bimodal pore distribution were observed. The cement consisted of unreacted glass particles surrounded by a silica gel "halo" and embeded in an organic salt matrix. Back-scattered electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy detected discrete clusters of silver atoms within the material. Other elements, such as calcium and aluminum, were dispersed homogeneously. Wave-length dispersive spectroscopy was used to detect fluoride, which also appeared to be homogeneously distributed. Electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis techniques could prove valuable in clarifying the microstructure and fluoride release mechanisms of glass ionomer cements. Refinement of some aspects, including sample preparation, will be necessary to obtain consistently reliable results.

Abstract
Test specimens of seven different glass ionomer filling materials and one fissure sealant were exposed to running water for 2 yr. One amalgam and one composite, both containing fluoride, were included for comparison. The fluoride release from the specimens was measured periodically after storing the specimens for 24 h or 1 wk in a small amount of water. The fluoride release from the glass ionomers decreased with time and a constant level was reached for most products during the 2-yr period. The release was increased by lowering the pH of the storage solution. The release from the glass ionomers was clearly greater than from the amalgam and the composite.

Abstract
In order to study the release of fluoride and prevention of enamel demineralization by different filling materials, standardized cavities were prepared in 80 extracted human molars. The cavities were filled as follows: 1. Fuji II F; 2. Ketac-Fil; 3. Ketac-Silver; 4. Silar. Twenty molars were used as controls (no filling). Enamel slabs with the fillings were subjected to 9 days of demineralization (30 min daily) and remineralization (artificial saliva, replaced daily). Fluoride release in the saliva was determined on days 1, 3, 5, and 9. Enamel fluoride content adjacent to the cavities was determined initially and after the de-remineralization using the acid etch technique. On day 1, the largest amount of fluoride in the saliva was released by Fuji, but on day 9 the largest amount was released by Ketac-Fil. Ketac-Silver released significantly less fluoride than Fuji and Ketac-Fil. The average initial fluoride content of enamel was 2200 ppm. After the test period, fluoride contents adjusted for biopsy depth were 1822, 1690, 1693, 1337, and 888 ppm in groups 1-5, respectively. The amounts of phosphorus dissolved by the second acid etch were 28.9 (SE 2.6), 30.2 (2.0), 34.4 (2.8), 44.1 (2.7), and 42.2 (2.4) micrograms, respectively. Softening of surface enamel during the test period was clearly reduced in teeth filled with Fuji and Ketac-Fil. The results show that glass ionomer materials release considerable amounts of fluoride and prevent demineralization of the adjacent enamel in vitro. Fuji and Ketac-Fil seem to be more effective than Ketac-Silver.

Abstract
A small percentage of the liquid resin used in commercial dental composites was added to the liquid used in a commercial glass-ionomer restorative in order to produce a fluoride-containing hybrid restorative-type material that would adhere to dentin while being stronger, less brittle, and less sensitive to desiccation in the oral cavity than glass ionomer. Compressive strength, yield strength, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, and tensile strength were analyzed for this hybrid, light-cured material. In addition, the solubility in water, adhesion to dentin, and surface roughness were also examined in vitro. The results suggest that the early (one-hour) mechanical properties of the hybrid material exceed those of glass ionomer. In addition, the brittleness and solubility of the material are less than those of commercial glass ionomer, while adhesion to dentin is unaffected. Most importantly, surface crazing, a documented problem with some glass ionomers when they become desiccated, is alleviated with this hybrid formulation.

Abstract
Glass-ionomer cement has been suggested as liner in cavities restored with composite resin. The purpose of the present investigation was to measure 1) tensile bond strength between etched glass-ionomer cement and composite resin, and 2) gap formation as assessed by wall-to-wall polymerization contraction and by microleakage with a silver nitrate technique. The influence of the following variables was examined: type of glass-ionomer cement and composite resin, duration of acid etching, irradiation time of unfilled and composite resin, preparation of bevel, conditioning with polyacrylic acid, and storing time in water before gap measurement. Bond strengths varied from 0 MPa when etching was omitted to 3.9 MPa after etching. Glass-ionomer cement lining reduced wall-to-wall contraction and penetration of silver nitrate. A positive correlation was found between wall-to-wall contraction and silver nitrate penetration.

Abstract
Long-term elution of fluoride ions has been studied for one silicate and six glass-ionomer cements over a period of some two and-a-half years. Because equilibrium was not reached, classical diffusion theory could not be applied to the process. It was postulated that two elution processes were taking place, one short-term and rapid, the other more gradual and prolonged. It was possible only to estimate the maximum value for the diffusion coefficients.

Abstract
In order to clarify the mechanism for erosion of glass-ionomer cements, we immersed two commercial luting cements in an acidic buffer solution under various conditions. The amounts of F, Al, Si, and Ca eluted from the cement were (1) in proportion to the square root of immersion time, (2) unrelated to shape or volume of the sample, (3) dependent on its surface area, and (4) not affected by shaking of the solution. It was concluded that the dissolution was controlled by the diffusion of those species in the cement matrix, which was influenced by the structure of the matrix and the concentration of H+ ion at the cement surface. The unreacted glass particles near the cement surface were dissolved by the long immersion, and many pores were left in the surface region.

Abstract
The mechanism of dissolution of two dental cements of the acid-base setting types (silicate and glass-ionomer) is considered. Dissolution is incongruent, probably because most of the leached species can derive both from the matrix (polysalt gel) and the partly reacted glass particles. The release occurs by means of three discrete mechanisms, surface wash-off, diffusion through pores and cracks or diffusion through the bulk. Such behaviour is shown to be capable of being modelled with extremely high goodness-of-fit values, using equations such as y = const + at1/2 + bt. Analogies with research from the fields of geochemistry and nuclear fuel storage are made and these systems obey similar relationships. The dental cement systems differ, however, in that their dissolution is to some extent reversible. This is explained in terms of formation of insoluble complexes, either by reaction of the constituent ions, or by replacement of OH-, for example, with F-.

Abstract
Data on the rate of dissolution (including fluoride ion release) of silicate and glass ionomer cement samples of variable surface area:volume ratios are examined in conjunction with dye penetration experiments and a simultaneous EDX analysis of the five elements F, Si, P, Al, Ca., as obtained by a series of point analyses taken at 10 micron intervals over a length of 7mm on a cement sample exposed to two months continuous immersion. Adding to this unpublished information on the surface area (from BET) and porosity (mercury porosimetry) it is shown that, in their behaviour, these cements behave as controlled release systems of the porous granular monolith type and that application of homogeneous monolith equations is inappropriate.
