[PMID: 35906607 PMCID: PMC9338480 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02347-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of nanofilled resin-based coating on the wear resistance of glass ionomer cements (GICs) is still controversial. This study aims to compare the wear resistance of four encapsulated GICs including two conventional and two resin-modified, and to evaluate the effect of G-Coat Plus on the wear resistance of GICs. METHODS A total of 80 disk-shaped specimens were prepared from two CGICs (riva self cure (SDI) and Equia Forte Fil (GC) and two RM- GICs (Ketac Nano (3 M/ESPE) and Fuji II LC (GC). The specimens of each material were divided into two groups (n = 10) based on the surface protection: no coating (NC), and coating with G-Coat Plus (GCP). All specimens were then placed in distilled water for 24 h at 37 °C. The specimens were subjected to thermocycling for 120,000 cycles using a chewing simulator. Wear resistance was measured using a specific formula. Data was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS There was no significant difference in volume loss (mm3) between coated and uncoated groups for all materials (P > 0.05). Ketac Nano showed significantly lower volume loss (0.65 ± 0.12) compared to all other groups (P < 0.05) among uncoated specimen, and significantly lower than Fuji II LC (P = 0.035) and Equia Forte Fil (P = 0.040) among coated groups. However, no statically significant difference was observed between volume loss of coated Ketac Nano with that of riva self cure (P = 0.087). CONCLUSIONS Coating with GCP did not affect the wear depth of GICs, and Ketac Nano showed significantly lower volume loss regardless of coating.

Dent Mater 2021; 37:1009-1019. [PMID: 33879343 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fluoride (F)-releasing restoratives typically are either weak mechanically or release only low levels of F ions. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel photo-cured nanocomposite with strong mechanical properties and high levels of sustained F ion release via a two-step "co-precipitation + spray-drying" technique to synthesize CaF2 nanoparticles (nCaF2); and (2) investigate the effect of spray-drying treatment after co-precipitation of nCaF2 on mechanical properties and F ion release of composite. METHODS Two types of CaF2 particles were synthesized: A co-precipitation method yielded CaF2cp; "co-precipitation + spray-drying" yielded nCaF2cpsd. Composites were fabricated with fillers of: (1) 0% CaF2 + 70% glass; (2) 10% CaF2cp + 60% glass; (3) 15% CaF2cp + 55% glass; (4) 20% CaF2cp + 50% glass; (5) 10% nCaF2cpsd + 60% glass; (6) 15% nCaF2cpsd + 55% glass; and (7) 20% nCaF2cpsd + 50% glass. A commercial F-releasing nanocomposite served as control. RESULTS The nCaF2cpsd had much smaller particle size (median = 32 nm) and narrower distribution (22-57 nm) than CaF2cp (median = 5.25 μm, 162 nm-67 μm). The composite containing nCaF2cpsd had greater flowability, flexural strength, elastic modulus and hardness than CaF2cp composite and commercial control composite. At 84-day immersion in water, the nanocomposites containing 20% nCaF2cpsd had 65 times higher cumulative F release, and 77 times greater long-term F-release rate, than commercial control. CONCLUSIONS A novel two-step "co-precipitation + spray-drying" technique of synthesizing nCaF2 was developed. The photo-cured nanocomposite containing 20% nCaF2cpsd possessed strong mechanical properties and excellent long-term F-release ability, and hence is promising for dental restoration applications to inhibit secondary caries.

Abstract
Background/purpose No study has previously investigated and compared whether resin coating could prevent the effect of dehydration on flexural strengths and porosities of high powder-liquid and resin-modified glass ionomer cements (HPL-GIC and RM-GIC). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of resin coating on flexural strengths and porosities of HPL-GIC and RM-GIC under a dry condition. Materials and methods HPL-GIC (Equia Forte Fil) or RM-GIC (Fuji II LC) was mixed and loaded into a mold to create a bar-shaped specimen, n = 12 of each. The specimens were randomly divided into two groups, coated and uncoated, n = 6 of each. In the coated group, a resin coating agent (Equia Forte Coat) was applied and light cured for 20 s. After 72 h, each specimen was dried and scanned to detect porosities (% volume) using micro-computed tomography. After scanning, flexural strength (MPa) of the specimen was tested using a three-point bending method. Results Porosities of HPL-GIC were significantly higher than RM-GIC, either coated or uncoated group (p < .05). Flexural strengths of coated and uncoated HPL-GIC were 41.47 ± 0.89 and 15.32 ± 1.15 MPa that were significantly lower than those of RM-GIC at 104.77 ± 3.97 and 52.90 ± 2.17 MPa (p < .05). Flexural strengths of coated GICs were significantly higher than uncoated GICs (p < .05). Conclusion Resin coating increased flexural strengths of GICs under dry condition. HPL-GIC had higher porosities and lower flexural strength than RM- GIC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the failure loads of dentin bonded all-ceramic crowns when luted with Bioactive, resin and glass ionomer cements (GIC) in an in-vitro setting. Methods: This study was conducted at King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, from Nov.2018 to March 2019. In this study, 60 premolar teeth were prepared for dentin-bonded ceramic crowns. Lithium disilicate ceramic crowns fabricated using CAD-CAM technique were cemented to teeth using Bioactive (ACITVA), Resin (Nexus 3 Gen) and GIC (Ketac Cem- Maxicap). Half of the bonded specimens in each group were thermocycled (50000 cycles), however the remaining half were not aged (n=10). Fracture loads of bonded crowns were assessed by exposing them to static axial occlusal loads (1mm/min) using a round ended metal probe in a Universal testing machine. Means and standard deviations among the study groups were compared with ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test. Results: Highest failure loads were observed in resin group without ageing (thermocycling) (689.13±89.41 N), however, the lowest loads were observed in GIC specimens with ageing (243.16±49.03 N). Among non-aged samples, failure loads for Bioactive (480.30±47.26 N) group were less than Resin (689.13±89.41 N) samples but higher than GIC (307.51±45.29 N) specimens respectively. Among the aged specimens, Bioactive (404.42±60.43 N) showed significantly higher failure loads than GIC (243.16±49.03 N), however lower failure loads than Resin (582.33±95.95 N) samples. Conclusions: Dentin boned crowns with resin cementation showed higher failure loads than Bioactive and GIC luted crowns. Crowns luted with Bioactive cement showed acceptable failure loads for use as restoration on anterior teeth.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of substituting triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) with 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) on water sorption, water solubility, degree of conversion, polymerization shrinkage, fluoride release and flexural strength of bisphenol-A-glycerolate dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA)/TEGDMA/urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) dental composites. Flexural strength, water sorption and water solubility were measured according to ISO 4049 standard. Degree of conversion was determined by FTIR technique. Fluoride release rate in deionized water at 37°C was determined by using photometric method. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD tests were used for statistical significance analysis (p<0.05). The results demonstrated that TFEMA decreased water solubility and volumetric shrinkage significantly but neither reduced water sorption, enhanced flexural strength nor improved degree of conversion. Partial substitution of TEGDMA with TFEMA in Bis-GMA/TEGDMA/UDMA dental composite had positive effect on its water solubility and volumetric shrinkage quality.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate dimensional changes of conventional glass ionomer cements, resin-modified glass-ionomer cement, and a giomer during the setting time using digital laser interferometry. Additionally, the influence of different curing modes ("high", "soft", and "low") of a light-emitting diode (LED) curing unit on dimensional changes was evaluated. Materials and methods Linear curing shrinkage of conventional glass ionomer cements (CGICs): Fuji IX Extra (F9E), Fuji IX Fast (F9F), Ketac Molar Aplicap (KM), Ketac Molar Quick Aplicap (KMQ), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RM GIC): Fuji II LC (F2LC) and giomer: Beautifil II (B2) was analyzed. All tested materials were of shade A3, while all of the GIC were encapsulated. Discoid specimens (n=10, d=10 mm, h=0.85 mm) were prepared for each tested material and each curing mode (for light-curable materials) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Light-curable specimens were cured with LED curing unit (Bluephase G2, Ivoclar-Vivadent, and Schaan, Liechtenstein). Dimensional changes during curing were recorded in real-time. The results were analyzed by ANOVA, and Tukey post hoc test was used for multiple comparisons (α˂ 1%). Results All tested materials showed an initial setting expansion and a subsequent setting shrinkage. KM and KMQ had significantly lower setting shrinkage than RM GIC polymerized using any of the three curing modes. B2 showed lower shrinkage compared to F2LC. Conclusions The extent of curing shrinkage in RM GIC measured in this study can affect longevity of restorations.

Abstract
High viscous glass ionomer cement (GIC) has gained popularity as a restorative material; however, high wear is pointed as one of the major drawbacks of this material. Protective surface coatings were developed to protect GIC from water contamination with the additional advantage of occluding any surface cracks or porosities commonly found in this material, possibly resulting in an increased wear resistance of the restorations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the remineralization of natural human dentin caries with an experimental whisker-reinforced Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Teeth with moderate active dentin caries were prepared with caries-disclosing dye and hand instruments, restored with ART or resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC), and then wet sliced into 120-µm sections with 15 sections in each group. After taking transverse microradiographs and implementing digital image analysis to determine the "mineral-loss-before," each section was incubated in artificial saliva solution (pH = 7.0) for 4 weeks and 8 weeks with 1 hour each workday in demineralization solution (pH = 4.3). Transverse microradiographs of each section were retaken, and the "mineral-loss-after" was determined. The remineralization was calculated from [1-("mineral-loss-after"/"mineral-loss-before")] × 100%. Results were statistically analyzed with a repeated-measures ANOVA with one within-subject factor (time: 4 and 8 weeks) and one between-subject factor (material: ART and RM-GIC) (α = 0.05). RESULTS The statistical analysis indicated that ART composite resulted in significantly higher remineralization than the RM-GIC (p ≤ 0.05). For the remineralization of each material, there was a statistical difference between 4 weeks and 8 weeks (p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This experimental ART composite remineralized natural human dentin caries better than the RM-GIC.

Abstract
The function of the interfacial transition zone (absorption layer) in resin-modified glass-ionomer cements bonded to deep dentin remains obscure. This study tested the hypotheses that the absorption layer is formed only in the presence of water derived from hydrated dentin and allows for better bonding of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements to dentin. Ten percent polyacrylic acid-conditioned, hydrated, and dehydrated deep dentin specimens were bonded with 2 resin-modified glass-ionomer cements and sealed with resins to prevent environmental water gain or loss. A non-particulate absorption layer was identified over hydrated dentin only, and was clearly discernible from the hybrid layer when bonded interfaces were examined with transmission electron microscopy. This layer was relatively more resistant to dehydration stresses, and remained intact over the dentin surface after tensile testing. The absorption layer mediates better bonding of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements to deep dentin, and functions as a stress-relieving layer to reduce stresses induced by desiccation and shrinkage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of various surface treatments on the mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of desiccated glass-ionomer (GI) and resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI) materials. METHODS One hundred GI and RMGI specimens were fabricated in a mold, stored in 100% humidity for 24h, placed in air to desiccate for 24h, and then stored for one week in one of the five media [casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), chlorhexidine (CHX), sodium fluoride (NaF), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), or 100% humidity (control)]. Fifty GI and RMGI specimens were tested in flexure to determine flexural strength and modulus, with the fragments used for Knoop hardness testing. The remaining 50 GI and RMGI specimens were covered with a suspension of Streptococcus mutans and incubated for 24h. The bacterial suspension was removed and the specimens were washed. Sterile saline was added, vortex mixed, serially diluted, and plated. CFU/mLs were calculated after 3days of incubation. RESULTS Compared to the 100% humidity control group, surface treatment of the desiccated GI and RMGI materials had a variable effect on the mechanical properties. In general, NaF provided the greatest improvement in flexural strength and modulus. Surface treatment of the desiccated GI or RMGI specimens with CHX or CPC resulted in no growth of the S. mutans. NaF resulted in significantly lower CFU/mL than CPP-ACP, which was significantly lower than the control group. SIGNIFICANCE Surface treatment with 5% NaF provides improved antimicrobial and strength properties of desiccated GI or RMGI materials.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of 37% carbamide peroxide on the bond strength of conventional or resin-modified glass-ionomer cements when used as a cervical barrier in endodontically-treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS After root canal instrumentation and obturation, 40 specimens of the cement-enamel junction were obtained after transversal root canal sectioning from human extracted canines. The root canal specimens were standardized and filled with the following materials (n = 10, each group): G1: zinc phosphate (control), G2: Ketac glass-ionomer, G3: vitrebond glass-ionomer or G4: GC GL glass-ionomer. After 24 hours, the specimens were subjected to an application of 37% carbamide peroxide for 21 days, changed each 7 days and stored in an artificial pulp chamber. The specimens were then submitted to push-out bond strength testing with an electromechanical test machine (EMIC) and the failure mode in each specimen was analyzed with confocal microscopy (LEXT). RESULTS G3 and G4 showed higher bond strengths values than the other groups (p < 0.05), and were similar to each other (p > 0.05). G1 showed the lowest bond strength value (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Glass-ionomer cements showed higher bond strength values than the zinc phosphate cement, and resin-modified glass-ionomer cements presented the highest push-out values to root canal dentin (GC, GL and Vitrebond). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Glass ionomer cements are recommended to use as cervical barrier materials before the internal dental bleaching, but its efficiency is questionable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the polymerisation shrinkage stress under water of four resin-modified glass-ionomers and three resin composite materials. METHODS Transparent acrylic rods (5mm diameter×30mm) were prepared and secured into drill chucks connected to a universal testing machine. A plastics cup was placed around the lower rod and a distance of 1.00mm was established between the prepared surfaces which provided a C-factor of 2.5. For composite only, an adhesive layer (Scotchbond Universal Adhesive) was placed on the rod ends and cured to achieve a bond with the rod end. Materials were placed between the rods and a strain gauge extensometer was installed. Materials were light cured for 40s and the plastics cup was filled with ambient temperature water. To determine polymerisation shrinkage stress (σpol) three specimens of each material were tested for a 6-h period to determine mean maximum σpol (MPa), σpol rate (MPa/s) and final σpol (MPa). ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests were used to determine significant differences between means. RESULTS The highest mean maximum σpol of (5.4±0.5) MPa was recorded for RMGIC and (4.8±1.0) MPa for composite. The lowest mean final σpol of (0.8±0.4) MPa was recorded for RMGIC. For mean maximum σpol,σpol rate and final σpol there were significant differences between materials within groups, although no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed when comparing the RMGIC group to the composite group. CONCLUSION When comparing mean σpol, maximum σpol, and σpol rates between individual RMGIC and composite materials significant differences (p<0.05) were observed. However when comparing the group RMGIC to composite no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed. The null hypothesis that there is no difference in the short term σpol of RMGIC materials when compared to composite materials is only partly rejected. RELEVANCE Limited information is available on the comparison of RMGIC and resin composite σpol levels. This study provides information on the short term levels in a wet environment and will assist in understanding the initial σpol rates RMGIC place in cavities.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to test the microtensile bond strength (μTBS), after 6 months of storage in PBS, of a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) bonded to dentine pretreated with Bioglass 45S5 (BAG) using various etching and air-abrasion techniques. The RMGIC (GC Fuji II LC) was applied onto differently treated dentine surfaces followed by light curing for 30 s. The specimens were cut into matchsticks with cross-sectional areas of 0.9 mm(2). The μTBS of the specimens was measured after 24 h or 6 months of storage in PBS and the results were statistically analysed using two-way anova and the Student-Newman-Keuls test (α = 0.05). Further RMCGIC-bonded dentine specimens were used for interfacial characterization, micropermeability, and nanoleakage analyses by confocal microscopy. The RMGIC-dentine interface layer showed no water absorption after 6 months of storage in PBS except for the interdiffusion layer of the silicon carbide (SiC)-abraded/polyacrylic acid (PAA)-etched bonded dentine. The RMGIC applied onto dentine air-abraded with BAG/H(2)O only or with BAG/PAA-fluid followed by etching procedures (10% PAA gel) showed no statistically significant reduction in μTBS after 6 months of storage in PBS. The abrasion procedures performed using BAG in combination with PAA might be a suitable strategy to enhance the bonding durability and the healing ability of RMGIC bonded to dentine.

Abstract
Glass-ionomer cement (GIC) materials have been in clinical use since their inception 40 years ago. They have undergone several permutations to yield different categories of these materials. Although all GICs share the same generic properties, subtle differences between commercial products may occur. They have a wide range of uses such as lining, bonding, sealing, luting or restoring a tooth. In general, GICs are useful for reasons of adhesion to tooth structure, fluoride release and being tooth-coloured although their sensitivity to moisture, inherent opacity, long-term wear and strength are not as adequate as desired. They are useful in situations where they are not disadvantaged by their comparatively lower physical properties, such as where there is adequate remaining tooth structure to support the material and where they are not subject to heavy occlusal loading. The last decade has seen the use of these materials being extended. However, they are likely to retain their specific niches of clinical application.

Abstract
This paper compares the remineralization of human natural caries and artificial caries-like dentin lesions treated with a novel whisker-reinforced experimental composite resin (ART composite) with a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) as control. Ten molars with moderate natural dentin caries were prepared (N). Artificial caries-like dentin lesions were prepared in occlusal dentin of 10 caries-free molars and demineralized at pH 4.3 for 48 h (A). The cavities were restored with ART composite or RM-GIC. All restored teeth were sliced into 120 μm sections. Transverse microradiography combined with digital image analysis was performed to analyze the change in mineral density at the same position in the specimens before and after 4 and 8 weeks remineralization/demineralization treatment. The mean percent remineralization ± standard deviation after 4 and 8 weeks are: N with ART composite, 27 ± 9 and 46 ± 14, respectively; N with RM-GIC, 18 ± 6 and 36 ± 11, respectively; A with ART composite, 48 ± 9 and 66 ± 11, respectively; A with RM-GIC, 50 ± 13 and 62 ± 11, respectively. There was a significant difference between the ART composite and RM-GIC for the remineralization of natural caries (P<0.05). For both restoratives there were significant differences between the remineralization of natural and artificial caries (P<0.001). The ART composite and RM-GIC remineralized natural and artificial caries differently, most likely due to differences in the microstructure and composition of the caries dentin.

Abstract
Long-term clinical success of fixed prosthodontic restorations is influenced by many factors, one important factor being the selection of an appropriate luting agent. No single luting agent is capable of meeting all the stringent requirements, which is one reason why there is such a wide choice of luting agents currently available from conventional water-based to contemporary adhesive resin cements. Introduction of adhesive resin systems has completely changed the face of fixed prosthodontic practice leading to an increased use of bonded all-ceramic crowns and resin-retained fixed partial dentures. This article makes an effort to review various conventional and contemporary luting agents, their properties & associated clinical implications thereby trying to help the clinician select an appropriate luting agent for a given clinical situation.

Abstract
This article reviews recent studies on: (1) the synthesis of novel calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride nanoparticles and their incorporation into dental resins to develop nanocomposites; (2) the effects of key microstructural parameters on Ca, PO(4), and F ion release from nanocomposites, including the effects of nanofiller volume fraction, particle size, and silanization; and (3) mechanical properties of nanocomposites, including water-aging effects, flexural strength, fracture toughness, and three-body wear. This article demonstrates that a major advantage of using the new nanoparticles is that high levels of Ca, PO(4), and F release can be achieved at low filler levels in the resin, because of the high surface areas of the nanoparticles. This leaves room in the resin for substantial reinforcement fillers. The combination of releasing nanofillers with stable and strong reinforcing fillers is promising to yield a nanocomposite with both stress-bearing and caries-inhibiting capabilities, a combination not yet available in current materials.

Abstract
Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are clinically attractive dental materials that have certain unique properties that make them useful as restorative and luting materials. This includes adhesion to moist tooth structures and base metals, anticariogenic properties due to release of fluoride, thermal compatibility with tooth enamel, biocompatibility and low toxicity. The use of GICs in a mechanically loaded situation, however, has been hampered by their low mechanical performance. Poor mechanical properties, such as low fracture strength, toughness and wear, limit their extensive use in dentistry as a filling material in stress-bearing applications. In the posterior dental region, glass ionomer cements are mostly used as a temporary filling material. The requirement to strengthen those cements has lead to an ever increasing research effort into reinforcement or strengthening concepts.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Knoop hardness of high viscous glass ionomer cement (GIC) Ketac Molar Easy Mix (3M ESPE, Saint Paul, USA) submitted to different types of compounds for surface protection. Sixty specimens of GIC were made in PVC molds with 7.5 mm diameter and 2.5 mm thickness. Divided in 6 groups: G1, Control (no protection); G2, Cavitine (Copal varnish); G3, Magic bond (Adhesive); G4, Adper Single Bond 2 (Single bottle adhesive); G5, Solid Petroleum Jelly; G6, Nail Varnish. The surface protection was applied after initial setting reaction. The specimens were immersed in deionized water, at 37 degrees C, for 24 h. The surfaces were polished in a rotation machine (Aropol 2V). The hardness test was accomplished in a Digital Microhardness tester HVS-100. In each specimen five indentations were done and repeated after 30 days and 4 months, under the same conditions. The results were submitted to Two-way ANOVA and Tukey Test. The only material that differed from the control group was the nail varnish (p < 0.001), with the other materials showing no significant difference from the control group. It was concluded that the best material for surface protection of GIC was the nail varnish, but because of possible harmful effects, petroleum jelly could be a better option.

Abstract
The current study compared the marginal adaptation of Class II open-sandwich restorations with a RMGIC versus a dual-cure composite as dentin substitute. Class II cavities were prepared on 50 extracted human third molars. The teeth were randomly assigned to two groups of 25 teeth to compare one dual cure composite (MultiCore Flow) with one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (Fuji II LC) in open-sandwich restorations recovered with a light cure composite. The teeth were thermomechanocycled (2000 cycles, 5 degrees C to 55 degrees C; 100,000 cycles, 50 N/cm2). The specimens were then sealed with a 1 mm window around the cervical margin interface. Samples were immersed in a 50% w/v ammoniacal silver nitrate solution for two hours and exposed to a photo-developing solution for six hours. The specimens were sectioned longitudinally and silver penetration was directly measured using a light microscope. The results were expressed as a score from 0 to 3. The data were analyzed with a non-parametric Kruskal and Wallis test. The degree of leakage significantly increased with MultiCore Flow (median 2) compared to Fuji II LC (median 1). Resin-modified glassionomer cements remain the best intermediate material when open-sandwich restorations are indicated. A comparison of the degradation of these materials over time remains a topic to be investigated by future studies.

Abstract
Secondary caries and restoration fracture remain the two most common problems in restorative dentistry. Release of fluoride ions (F) could be a substantial benefit because F could enrich neighboring enamel or dentin to combat caries. The objective of this study was to incorporate novel CaF(2) nanoparticles into dental resin to develop stress-bearing, F-releasing nanocomposite. CaF(2) nanoparticles, prepared in our laboratories for the first time, were combined with reinforcing whisker fillers in a resin. Flexural strength (mean+/-sd; n=6) was 110+/-11 MPa for the composite containing 30% CaF(2) and 35% whiskers by mass. It matched the 108+/-19 MPa of a stress-bearing, non-releasing commercial composite (Tukey's at 0.05). The composite containing 20% CaF(2) had a cumulative F release of 2.34+/-0.26 mmol/L at 10 weeks. The initial F release rate was 2 microg/(hcm(2)), and the sustained release rate after 10 weeks was 0.29 microg/(hcm(2)). These values exceeded the reported releases of traditional and resin-modified glass ionomer materials. In summary, nanocomposites were developed with relatively high strength as well as sustained release of fluoride ions, a combination not available in current materials. These strong and F-releasing composites may yield restorations that can reduce the occurrence of both secondary caries and restoration fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability and physical and chemical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) using Rhodamine B at different pHs as tracer. METHODS Chemical analysis, pH and micro-hardness of GIC and MTA were performed. In addition dye leakage was assessed by tracer leakage using Tandem Scanning Confocal Microscope (TSM) after immersion of premolar teeth in a stock and a buffered fluorescent Rhodamine B for 24 h. Ultra-structural changes within the materials were evaluated by viewing under the field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). RESULTS GIC and MTA showed elemental peaks for silicon, aluminium and calcium while MTA also had bismuth. GIC was acidic (P = 0.001) and caused an increase in dye pH (P = 0). Immersion of MTA in any of the test solutions resulted in an increase in the pH of the solution (P < 0.05). Use of a dye solution of lower pH than the material under test increased the cement micro-hardness. GIC demonstrated marginal leakage on TSM and both increase in marginal leakage and material porosity on FESEM. MTA was not affected by the use of acidic dye but showed a tendency to take up dye within the material shown on TSM. CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of marginal adaptation of dental materials was shown to be dependent on the technique used for viewing the material to tooth interface, the properties of the material under study and the pH of the dye used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this work was to study the setting of two novel dental cements: (i) a 'hybrid' cement, incorporating an ethyl cyanoacrylate into a glass-ionomer cement (ECGIC) formulation and (ii) an ethyl cyanoacrylate/hydroxyapatite composite cement (ECHC). The mechanical role of the cyanoacrylate and its curing within the cements have been discussed. METHODS The setting of the cements was characterised using Vickers indentation hardness and near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopy. RESULTS The cyanoacrylate component of ECGIC was 100% cured approximately 10min after the initial cement mixing. The ECGIC continued to increase in hardness after the cyanoacrylate component was fully cured. This proved that the fully polymerised network of cyanoacrylate did not prevent the acid-base reactions of the GIC components from continuing. The Vickers hardness number of ECGIC at 18 weeks was approximately 105. The curing of the cyanoacrylate within ECHC was much slower and was still not complete (98%) 18 weeks after the initial cement mixing. The hardness of the ECHC was shown to be correlated with the extent of cyanoacrylate cure. The Vickers hardness number of ECHC at 18 weeks was approximately 21. The primary reasons for the overall lower hardness of ECHC in comparison to ECGIC were the lower powder:liquid ratio and the softer filler type. SIGNIFICANCE Careful consideration is needed when incorporating cyanoacrylates into dental cements, as speed of cure and hardness are particularly important.

Dent Mater 2005; 22:486-97. [PMID: 16225915 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2005.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2004] [Revised: 03/07/2005] [Accepted: 05/10/2005] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in vitro study evaluated the effect on interfacial gap-formation around resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGIC) root surface restorations with (a) variations in powder/liquid ratio (P/L) of the first increment of an incremental procedure, compared with a bulk restoration technique, and (b) delayed versus immediate polishing, to permit maturation. METHODS Cavity preparations were placed in premolar teeth on upper facial root surfaces. Two RMGICs were studied (Fuji II LC and Vitremer), with their associated conditioner or primer, applied with an incremental technique. The P/L ratio of the first increment was reduced to fractional (normalized) values between 0.2 and 1.0 of the manufacturers' recommended P/L, and the manufacturers' P/L was used for the second increment. Control groups were bulk filled. After polishing, either: (i) immediately after light-activation or (ii) after 24h storage, the restored teeth were sectioned in a buccolingual direction through the center of the restoration and the presence or absence of marginal gaps was measured at x 1000 magnification at 14 points (each 0.5-mm apart) along the cavity restoration interface; (n=10; total points measured per group=140). RESULTS For both RMGICs, significant differences (p<0.05) in gap-incidence were observed between polishing (i) immediately and (ii) after one-day storage. In the former case, 30-70 gaps were found, with or without the incremental technique. In the latter case, only 2-14 gaps were observed. With fluid mixes (normalized P/L ratios between 0.3 and 0.6) for the first increment, gap-formation was greatly reduced, especially with Fuji II LC. SIGNIFICANCE To minimize gap formation, more fluid mixes could be used especially with Fuji II LC to give improved adaptation to the dentin. Secondly, whenever possible, polishing should be delayed on the final increment to permit maturation and minimize mechanical disruption of both increments.

Abstract
AIMS To prospectively report on the survival of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), photac-fil and pre-formed stainless steel crown (SSC) restorations in primary molar teeth placed over a seven-year period in a specialist paediatric dental practice under private contract of remuneration. METHOD All primary molar restorations placed by a specialist paediatric dentist over a seven-year period were reviewed and the outcome results recorded. Data were recorded at review visits until June 30, 2003. Data recorded included Class I restorations, Class II restorations and SSC. The Class II cavities were either mesial or distal, with or without buccal/palatal extensions. If both proximal surfaces were decayed or if after cavity preparation the resultant outline form was significantly larger than the minimal classical form, RMGIC was not used; an SSC was placed instead. Stainless steel crown preparation followed conventional guidelines. The crowns were cemented with reinforced zinc oxide and eugenol (Kalzinol). The status was recorded as satisfactory restoration, tooth exfoliated, tooth extracted for orthodontic reasons with the date of extraction, or needing replacement. If replaced then the reason for replacement was also recorded. RESULTS A total of 544 Class I RMGICs, 962 Class II RMGICs, and 1,010 SSCs were placed. At the last review of each restoration, 98.3% of Class I, 97.3% of Class II RMGICs and 97.0% of SSCs were either satisfactory or withdrawn intact. CONCLUSION Under the conditions of private specialist practice-based study SSCs continued to prove very successful for the restoration of larger cavities and for pulp-treated primary molar teeth. For the smaller cavities RMGIC were also very successful.

Abstract
Moisture-sensitivity of immature glass-ionomer cements suggests that hydration-induced volumetric expansion might close and potentially heal established cracks. Crack closure in glass-ionomer cements (GICs) was observed following rehydration. Circular cavities were prepared in 15 teeth: 10 were restored with resin-modified GICs (5 with Fuji II LC and 5 with Photac-Fil) and 5 were restored with a conventional GIC (Fuji IX); all were dehydrated for 1 min with air and imaged immediately by confocal microscopy. Crack formation in each was located, after which water was placed on the surface and observed for 15 min via a CCD camera. Dehydration caused cracks with measurable gaps, while rehydration resulted in varying degrees of closure: closure was limited in the conventional GIC, and complete or near complete along part/s of the crack in the resin-modified GICs. In all, closure movement became imperceptible after the first 10 min. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the closure behavior of all materials. However, the resin-modified GICs appeared to show a greater potential for closure of established cracks than the conventional GIC upon rehydration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Restorative materials are constantly subjected to thermal challenges in the oral environment. Such challenges, if significant, can have unfavorable effects on the margins of restorations in terms of the seal between the material and the tooth structure. This study aimed to assess the Coefficient of Dimensional Change (CDC) of tooth-colored restorative materials. METHODS Five cylindrical specimens (6 mm x 4 mm) were made (using a stainless steel mold) of each of the following: the compomers Dyract AP (Dentsply), or F2000 Compomer (3M); a resin composite, Z100 MP (3M); a resin-modified glass-ionomer, Fuji II LC Capsule (GC); the conventional glass-ionomers Fuji IX GP Fast (GC) or Ketac Fil Aplicap (ESPE). The light-cured materials were cured for 40 s at each end and also around the 'waist' after removal from the mold. All specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 h, before testing. The CDC for each specimen was determined using a thermal mechanical analyser, by heating the sample from 25 to 70 degrees C at 10 degrees C min(-1). RESULTS All materials except the glass-ionomers showed expansion on heating. The temperature response was non-linear in each case and values of CDC were therefore calculated between 25 and 50 degrees C and between 50 and 70 degrees C. The mean values of CDC (x 10(-6) degrees C(-1)) between 25 and 50 degrees C were Dyract: 83.4, F2000: 66.1, Z100: 64.5. The glass-ionomer materials showed contraction, which was non-linear in nature and was associated with a loss of water on heating. ANOVA and Tukey's pairwise comparisons of mean CDC values for the other materials indicated significant differences between all pairs of materials. SIGNIFICANCE The compomers and resin composite tested had similar values of CDC. The conventional and resin-modified glass-ionomers contracted on heating. For one glass-ionomer the dimensional change on heating was minimal as thermal expansion appeared to be compensated by water loss.

Abstract
To evaluate the bonding strength of the interfaces within the cemented arthroplasty system, various mechanical tests have been used. Conventional push-out and pull-out tests cannot reveal the actual bonding property of the interface because of the significant influence of surface roughness on the measured adhesion and the failure to account for the mismatch of elastic modulus across the interface. An alternative fracture mechanics approach, which considers the mix of opening and shear modes of the crack tip loading associated with the testing system and the elastic mismatch of materials across the interface, was used to evaluate the bonding ability of various cements. The four-point bend interfacial delamination test by Charalambides et al. (J. Appl. Mech. 56 (1989) 77; Mech. Mater. 8 (1990) 269) was used to quantify the bonding ability of cements. This method is arguably more suitable since the applied loading mode is comparable to the nature of loading within the prosthetic system, which is primarily bending. The bovine bone specimens were polished to mirror finish to eliminate bonding by mechanical interlocking. The results revealed minimal bonding for the conventional bone cement (PMMA) whereas substantial bonding was evident for the glass-ionomer cements tested. However, only the conventional glass-ionomer cements showed evidence of bonding on testing, while the resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (poly-HEMA) did not. The latter appeared to debond before testing because of excessive expansion stresses associated with swelling in water.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study was designed to evaluate a method proposed for measuring dimensional changes of endodontic sealers, and to assess the dimensional changes of 11 commercial sealers after prolonged storage in water. METHODS The method for linear dimensional change described in the draft standard for endodontic sealers was applied to 11 different types of endodontic sealers. One material (Sealapex) could not be tested by the method. The other 10 materials were followed for dimensional change over 48 weeks. RESULTS The sealers showed markedly different dimensional properties. For most materials, the greatest dimensional changes took place within the first 4 weeks. Zinc-oxide-eugenol based sealers generally showed shrinkage ranging from 0.3 to 1%, while one product (Proco-Sol) exhibited expansion exceeding 6% after prolonged storage. The epoxy-based materials, AH 26 and AH 26 silverfree, exhibited a large, initial expansion of 4-5%. AH Plus expanded from 0.4% after 4 weeks up to 0.9%. Apexit, a Ca(OH)2-based material, showed only minor variation round baseline value, -0.14 to +0.19%. Roeko-Seal expanded to 0.2% within 4 weeks, but was stable thereafter. SIGNIFICANCE The test methodology adequately assessed dimensional changes exceeding +/-0.2%, but some brands of material either could not be made into adequate test specimens or showed surface changes which interfered with dimensional change measurements. Theoretical approaches to the consequences of expansion by materials of low bulk strength question the necessity of a strict requirement against expansion, whereas bacterial penetration may be a real threat from sealers shrinking as little as 1%.

Abstract
The microstructure of four cements, setting by different mechanisms (acid-base, dual cure, triple cure), was studied. The porosity of unpolymerized materials was detected by stereomicroscopy. After polymerization and storage in water or lactic acid solution, the porosity, filler distribution and gel layer, which was formed at the filler/matrix interface of polymerized materials, were examined by confocal laser microscopy. For this purpose, the specimens were treated with fluorescent dye solution before the test. The results showed that hydrolytic degradation (pH 7) mainly involved the resin matrix, and the acid erosion (pH 3.5) involved the gel layer too. As regards the filler, materials with different setting mechanism released the glass particles in different times. The loss of the filler particles occurred quicker in acid-base setting cements, and slower in triple-cured material.

Abstract
Glass-ionomer (GI) fillers are added to restorative materials, but it is unclear if they truly react with these materials. This TEM study evaluated the existence of the GI phase in a conventional GIC (ChemFlex), a resin-modified GIC (Fuji II LC), a giomer (Reactmer Paste), a compomer (Dyract AP), and a composite (SpectrumTPH), before and after water uptake. Wafers were stored at 100% RH for 24 hrs, or in water for 7 or 84 days. ChemFlex glass particles were surrounded by 300-nm-thick silica gel layers. In Fuji II LC, we found thinner hydrogel layers (100 nm) that became thicker upon water storage. No appreciable change occurred in Reactmer Paste. Only a very thin hydrogel layer occurred in Dyract AP, and none was seen in SpectrumTPH after water storage for 84 days. We conclude that the variable extent of the GI phase is determined by differences in the resin composition of the restoratives.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Because conventional glass ionomer cements are moisture sensitive, a surface coating is recommended during the initial setting stage. It is unknown whether resin-modified glass ionomer cements also need surface protection. PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of various surface protections on microleakage with Class V resin-modified glass ionomer restorations. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty extracted molars with buccal and lingual Class V cavity preparations were restored with a resin-modified glass ionomer (Fuji II LC). The occlusal margin of each restoration was on enamel and the cervical margin on dentin. After immediate finishing and polishing, the teeth were divided into 4 groups according to the following surface protection treatments: group I, unprotected; group II, Fuji varnish; group III, resin adhesive; and group IV, acid etching and resin adhesive. After these procedures, all teeth were stored in isotonic saline for 24 hours, thermocycled 1500 times at 5 degrees C to 60 degrees C, and soaked in dye solution for 24 hours. The teeth then were longitudinally sectioned and observed under a stereomicroscope. The degree of dye penetration was recorded and analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (P<.05) RESULTS None of the 4 groups demonstrated complete margin sealing at either the occlusal or cervical margins. Groups II and III displayed the least microleakage at cervical margins; a significant difference existed between groups I and III (P=.034). Compared with the other 3 groups, group IV showed significantly greater microleakage at the cervical margins. CONCLUSION Although resin-modified glass ionomers can be finished immediately, they remain moisture sensitive. Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that resin adhesive should be used as a surface protection to reduce margin microleakage of resin-modified glass ionomer restorations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, and compomer materials are susceptible to brittle fracture and are inadequate for use in large stress-bearing posterior restorations. The aim of this study was to use ceramic single crystal whiskers to reinforce composites formulated with precured glass ionomer, and to examine the effects of whisker-to-precured glass ionomer mass ratio on mechanical properties, fluoride release, and polishability of the composites. METHODS Silica particles were fused onto silicon nitride whiskers to facilitate silanization and to improve whisker retention in the matrix. Hardened glass ionomer was ground into a fine powder, mixed with whiskers, and used as fillers for a dental resin. Four control materials were also tested: a glass ionomer, a resin-modified glass ionomer, a compomer, and a hybrid composite. A three-point flexural test was used to measure flexural strength, modulus, and work-of-fracture. A fluoride ion-selective electrode was used to measure fluoride release. Composite surfaces polished simulating clinical procedures were examined by SEM and profilometry. RESULTS At whisker/(whisker + precured glass ionomer) mass fractions of 1.0 and 0.91, the whisker composite had a flexural strength in MPa (mean (SD); n = 6) of (196 (10)) and (150 (16)), respectively, compared to (15 (7)) for glass ionomer, (39 (8)) for resin-modified glass ionomer, (89 (18)) for compomer, and (120 (16)) for hybrid composite. The whisker composite had a cumulative fluoride release of nearly 20% of that of the glass ionomer after 90 days. The whisker composites had surface roughness comparable to the hybrid resin composite. SIGNIFICANCE Composites filled with precured glass ionomer particles and whiskers exhibit moderate fluoride release with improved mechanical properties; the whisker-to-glass ionomer ratio is a key microstructural parameter that controls fluoride release and mechanical properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to study dimensional time-dependence of resin/ionomer formulations from 5 min age to one month and to separate out the intrinsic setting shrinkage and hygroscopic expansion effects, by using non-aqueous and aqueous storage media, respectively. METHODS Materials studied included: A: resin-, B: metal- and C: polyphosphonate-modified glass-ionomer cements [GICs]; and controls of D: poly-acid modified composite [compomer]; and E: resin-composite. Separate specimen groups (n = 5) were stored in different storage-media: (i) silicone fluid; (ii) de-ionized water. Experiments were repeated at 23 and 37 degrees C. Volumetric changes of specimens (4 mm diameter x 6 mm height) were obtained via accurate mass measurements (to 10(-4) g), using Archimedes principle, with silicone or water also used as the Archimedean fluid. These measurements were made periodically over a 30 day period, post fabrication. RESULTS In silicone at 23 degrees C, all materials underwent further gradual intrinsic shrinkage (after 5 min from mix). This was highly significant (p < 0.05) for the RM-GIC (A). At 37 degrees C, however the RM-GIC expanded, indicating that its cure is temperature-sensitive. In water, at 23 and 37 degrees C, the shrinkage was either partially offset (materials C, D, E), or replaced by appreciable expansions (materials A and B). Differences between RM-GIC (A) and MM-GIC (B) were significant (p < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE The deployment of dual storage media made an important contribution to the separate analysis of the volumetric changes due to the on-going setting chemistry in these systems and the time-dependent effects of an aqueous environment.

Abstract
The mechanism of bond failure of resin-modified glass-ionomers is unknown. This study examined the failure on shear loading at the dentine interface of these materials. Twenty-five teeth (embedded in acrylic blocks) were sectioned longitudinally to expose a flat dentine surface. Cylinders of materials were made by injecting into a tube placed on the dentine of each section surface. The materials used were Fuji Cap II and Fuji II LC (GC Corp., Japan), Vitremer (3M Dental Products, USA), Photac-Fil (original) and Photac-Fil* (new) (ESPE Dental-AG, Germany). After a week, a fluorescent dye was placed in the pulp chamber of each tooth and left for 3 h. The specimens were sectioned through the cylinders before both halves were tested in shear. The failure was observed using a confocal microscope, with video rate images (stored) digitally. The shear load at failure and locus of failure were recorded. All specimens had intact interfaces before testing, except the original Photac-Fil specimens which dislodged from their tooth surfaces even before testing, while being mounted on the device. An amorphous zone or absorption layer was noted at the dentine interface of 60% of Fuji II LC, 22% of Vitremer and all of the Photac-Fil* (new) specimens, but not in Fuji Cap II. Failure was cohesive in Fuji II LC, adhesive in Vitremer, cohesive/adhesive in Photac-Fil* (new) and cohesive in Fuji Cap II. In specimens with the absorption layer present, the failure was at the material/absorption layer interface, leaving it behind on the dentine surface. The mean stresses at failure (MPa) and standard deviations were 5.60, 2.46 (Fuji II LC); 4.82, 0.99 (Vitremer); 4.97, 2.10 MPa (Photac-Fil*); and 3.48, 1.06 (Fuji Cap II). All data were normally distributed as tested by the Shapiro-Francia test. One-way analysis of variance using exact inferential statistics indicated no significant difference between the mean failure stress for all the systems, p = 0.08. The mechanism of failure of resin-modified glass-ionomer materials to shear loading at the dentine interface varies between products. In materials in which the absorption layer is present, it appears to play an important role in mediating the bond of the glass-ionomer to dentine.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The long-term clinical outcome of fixed prosthodontic treatment depends, in part, on the use of adhesives that can provide an impervious seal between the restoration and the tooth. There are several types of available luting agents, each possessing unique properties and handling characteristics. No one product is ideal for every type of restoration. PURPOSE The purpose of this article is to review available dental luting agents, discuss improvements and drawbacks in newly formulated adhesives, and present the indications for their use. RESULTS Each cement type is physically and chemically unique. A single adhesive will not suffice in modern day clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to determine if significant differences existed between the fracture toughness of three types of luting cement, and, if the method of mixing conventional glass-ionomer luting cements, hand-mixed or mechanically mixed, influenced the value obtained. METHODS Three types of luting cement were investigated: conventional glass-ionomer cement (two handmixed and two capsulated cements, KetacCem, Fuji I and KetacCem Maxicap, Fuji Cap I), a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (Vitremer Luting Cement) and a resin composite cement (Scotchbond Resin Cement). Eleven specimens of each of the six cements were fabricated to determine the plane strain fracture toughness using the chevron notch short rod technique. After seven days the specimens were loaded in a water bath, at a crosshead speed of 4 microns/s and the fracture toughness values calculated. RESULTS ANOVA indicated significant differences between the cements (p < 0.0001) and each cement was compared with all others using Fishers PSLD test (p < 0.05). The rank order of results from highest fracture toughness value to lowest (mean +/- s.d.) was Scotchbond Resin Cement (1.31 +/- 0.17), Vitremer Luting Cement (1.08 +/- 0.1), Fuji Cap I (0.37 +/- 0.04), KetacCem Maxicap (0.37 +/- 0.05), Fuji I (0.34 +/- 0.04), KetacCem (0.27 +/- 0.03). SIGNIFICANCE Of the cements tested, the resin composite cement is most likely to resist clinical failure by cement cohesive failure.
