summary The interaction of tooth‐coloured dental restorative materials (a conventional glass–ionomer, two resin‐modified glass–ionomers and compomers) with acidic beverages has been studied the aim investigating how long‐term contact affects solution pH specimen surface hardness. For each material (ChemFil Superior, ChemFlex, Vitremer Core Build‐Up/Restorative, Fuji II LC, Dyract AP F2000) disc‐shaped specimens were prepared stored in sets six following storage media: 0·9% NaCl (control),...
For many years, glass-ionomer cements have been described as setting by the formation of a poly(acrylate) matrix. Recent research has suggested that second reaction may be involved, namely, silica So this hypothesis could tested, non-polymer cements, based on an ionomer glass plus acetic acid, were prepared and stored for up to six months. They insoluble in water, their compressive strength was found increase rapidly over period storage. By contrast, product between ZnO acid soluble water....
Summary The purpose of this study was to compare the effects professional tooth whitening agents containing highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide (with and without laser activation), on enamel surface; potential four different toothpastes remineralize any alterations. performed 50 human molars, divided in two groups: treated with Opalescence ® Boost Mirawhite Laser Bleaching. Furthermore, each group into five subgroups, a control one 4 subgroups remineralized with: Mirasensitive hap+,...
Abstract Bioactive glass ionomer cements (GICs) have been in widespread use for ∼40 years dentistry and medicine. However, these composites fall short of the toughness needed permanent implants. Significant impediment to improvement has requisite conventional destructive mechanical testing, which is necessarily retrospective. Here we show quantitatively, through novel calorimetry, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy neutron scattering, how GIC’s developing fracture during setting related...
(+)-Tartaric acid is incorporated into glass-ionomer dental cements to control the setting characteristics. FTIR has been used examine as they set, and confirmed previous results that (+)-tartaric reacts more readily with glass than does poly(acrylic acid), thereby delaying of cement. Subsequently, ions released by become available for reaction polyacid, gelation occurs. not only rapidly yield calcium tartrate, but also enhances rate at which aluminum polyacrylate formed within Mesotartaric...
