Cureus 2024; 16:e56078. [PMID: 38618398 PMCID: PMC11009900 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.56078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objective Glass ionomer cement (GIC), also known as polyalkenoate cement, has been extensively used in dentistry for both luting and restorative purposes. Despite being the first choice for aesthetic restorations due to their chemical bonding ability to teeth, GICs have faced challenges such as low mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and sensitivity to moisture, leading to the search for improved materials. This study aims to assess the effects of thermocycling on the compressive, flexural strength, and microhardness of green-mediated nanocomposite-modified GIC in comparison to traditional GIC. Methodology Green-mediated nanoparticles, consisting of chitosan, titanium, zirconia, and hydroxyapatite (Ch-Ti-Zr-HA), were synthesized using a one-pot synthesis technique to form nanocomposites. These nanocomposites were then incorporated into GIC specimens in varying concentrations (3%, 5%, and 10%), denoted as Group I, Group II, and Group III, respectively. Group IV served as the control, consisting of conventional GIC. To assess the performance of the novel restorative materials over an extended period, compressive strength, flexural strength, and microhardness were measured before and after thermocycling using a universal material testing machine. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was carried out following the thermocycling process. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t-tests. Results The findings demonstrated that, in comparison to the control group, both the mean compressive strength and flexural strength, as well as hardness, were notably higher for the 10% and 5% nanocomposite-modified GIC specimens before and after thermocycling (P < 0.05). Notably, there was no notable difference observed between the 5% and 10% concentrations (P > 0.05). These results suggest that incorporating green-mediated nanocomposites (Ch-Ti-Zr-HA) modified GIC at either 5% or 10% concentration levels leads to improved mechanical properties, indicating their potential as promising alternatives in dental restorative materials. Conclusions Based on our findings, it can be inferred that the 10% and 5% concentrations of green-mediated (Ch-Ti-Zr-HA) modified GIC exhibit superior compressive and flexural strength compared to conventional GIC. Additionally, analysis of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) morphology revealed that green-mediated GIC displays smoother surface characteristics in contrast to conventional GIC. These results underscore the potential advantages of utilizing green-mediated nanocomposite-modified GIC in dental applications, suggesting enhanced mechanical properties and surface quality over conventional.

Fierascu RC. Incorporation of Nanomaterials in Glass Ionomer Cements-Recent Developments and Future Perspectives: A Narrative Review. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:nano12213827. [PMID: 36364603 PMCID: PMC9658828 DOI: 10.3390/nano12213827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
Glass ionomer cements (GICs), restorative materials with commercial availability spanning over five decades, are widely applied due to their advantages (including bio-compatibility, fluoride release, or excellent bonding properties). However, GICs have shortcomings. Among the disadvantages limiting the application of GICs, the poor mechanical properties are the most significant. In order to enhance the mechanical or antimicrobial properties of these materials, the addition of nanomaterials represents a viable approach. The present paper aims to review the literature on the application of different types of nanomaterials for the enhancement of GICs' mechanical and antimicrobial properties, which could lead to several clinical benefits, including better physical properties and the prevention of tooth decay. After applying the described methodology, representative articles published in the time period 2011-present were selected and included in the final review, covering the modification of GICs with metallic nanoparticles (Cu, Ag), metallic and metalloid oxide nanoparticles (TiO2, ZnO, MgO, Al2O3, ZrO2, SiO2), apatitic nanomaterials, and other nanomaterials or multi-component nanocomposites.

Evaluation of a Method to Determine Wear Resistance of Class I Tooth Restorations during Cyclic Loading. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:5440. [PMID: 35955375 PMCID: PMC9369466 DOI: 10.3390/ma15155440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was the development of a test regime to determine the wear resistance and predict the clinical performance of conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations in Class I tooth cavities. Cavities were prepared in excised human teeth and restored using three conventional glass ionomer restorative materials: DeltaFil, Fuji IX GP and Ketac Universal. The restored teeth were mechanically and thermally stressed using a chewing simulator with a maximum number of 1,200,000 load cycles. Besides determining the number of cycles achieved, the abrasion volume after termination of the chewing simulation was calculated using µCT images. All teeth restored with DeltaFil reached 1,200,000 cycles without any restoration failure. Only 37.5% of the restorations each with Ketac Universal and Fuji IX GP were able to achieve the maximum cycle number. A significant lower abrasion volume for restorations with DeltaFil compared to Ketac Universal (p = 0.0099) and Fuji IX GP (p = 0.0005) was found. Laboratory chewing simulations are a useful tool to study basic wear mechanisms in a controlled setting with in-vivo related parameters. DeltaFil shows an improved wear resistance compared to other conventional GICs, indicating the high potential of this material for long-lasting Class I restorations.

Abstract
This study showed the synthesis of Glass ionomer cements (GIC) modified with
calcium phosphate nanoparticles (nCaP). The nCaP/GIC were submitted to
mechanical compression and diametral tensile tests. The biocomposite were
characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR). Cytotoxicity and cell viability tests were performed on the
human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells using a
3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)2,5-diphenyl- tetrazolium-bromide assay and LIVE/DEAD
assays. Statistically significant differences were observed for mechanical
properties (Kruskal-Wallis, p<0.001), nCaP/GIC showed higher resistance to
compression and diametral traction. The SEM analyses revealed a uniform
distribution nCaP in the ionomer matrix. The EDX and XRD results indicated that
hydroxyapatite and calcium β-triphosphate phases. The FTIR spectra revealed the
asymmetric band of ν3PO43- between 1100-1030cm-1 and the vibration band
associated with ν1PO43- in 963cm-1 associated with nCaP. The nCaP/GIC presented
response to adequate cell viability and non-cytotoxic behavior. Therefore, the
new nCaP/GIC composite showed great mechanical properties, non-cytotoxic
behavior, and adequate response to cell viability with promising dental
applications.

Abstract
This article focuses on preclinical studies and reviews the available evidence from the literature on dental implant and abutment materials in the last decade. Specifically, different peri-implantitis materials and how surface modifications may affect the peri-implant soft-tissue seal and subsequently delay or hinder peri-implantitis are examined. This review analyzed more than 30 studies that were Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), Controlled Clinical Trials (CCTs), or prospective case series (CS) with at least six months of follow-up. Meta-analyses were performed to make a comparison between different implant materials (titanium vs. zirconia), including impact on bone changes, probing depth, plaque levels, and peri-implant mucosal inflammation, as well as how the properties of the implant material and surface modifications would affect the peri-implant soft-tissue seal and peri-implant health conditions. However, there was no clear evidence regarding whether titanium is better than other implant materials. Clinical evidence suggests no difference between different implant materials in peri-implant bone stability. The metal analysis offered a statistically significant advantage of zirconia implants over titanium regarding developing a favorable response to the alveolar bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Yttria-stabilized zirconia nanoparticles can be applied as fillers to improve the mechanical and antibacterial properties of luting cement. The aim of this study was to synthesize yttria-stabilized zirconia nanoparticles by the sol-gel method and to investigate their composition, structure, morphology and biological properties. METHODS Nanopowders of ZrO2 7 wt% Y2O3 (nY-ZrO) were synthesized by the sol-gel method and were sintered at three different temperatures: 800, 1000 and 1200 °C, and their composition, size and morphology were investigated. The biocompatibility was investigated with human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs), while reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was evaluated through fluorescence analysis. RESULTS All synthesized materials were composed of tetragonal zirconia, while nanopowders sintered at 800 °C and 1000 °C additionally contained 5 and 20 wt% of the cubic phase. By increasing the calcination temperature, the crystalline size of the nanoparticles increased from 12.1 nm for nY-ZrO800 to 47.2 nm for nY-ZrO1200. Nano-sized particles with good dispersion and low agglomeration were received. Cell culture studies with human gingival fibroblasts verified the nanopowders' biocompatibility and their ROS scavenging activity. CONCLUSIONS the obtained sol-gel derived nanopowders showed suitable properties to be potentially used as nanofillers for dental luting cement.

Abstract
Overall perspective of nanotechnology and reinforcement of dental biomaterials by nanoparticles has been reported in the literature. However, the literature regarding the reinforcement of dental biomaterials after incorporating various nanostructures is sparse. The present review addresses current developments of glass ionomer cements (GICs) after incorporating various metallic, polymeric, inorganic and carbon-based nanostructures. In addition, types, applications, and implications of various nanostructures incorporated in GICs are discussed. Most of the attempts by researchers are based on the laboratory-based studies; hence, it warrants long-term clinical trials to aid the development of suitable materials for the load bearing posterior dentition. Nevertheless, a few meaningful conclusions are drawn from this substantial piece of work; they are as follows: (1) most of the nanostructures are likely to enhance the mechanical strength of GICs; (2) certain nanostructures improve the antibacterial activity of GICs against the cariogenic bacteria; (3) clinical translation of these promising outcomes are completely missing, and (4) the nanostructured modified GICs could perform better than their conventional counterparts in the load bearing posterior dentition.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to compare the staining characteristics of a commercially available restorative glass ionomer cement to a formulation reinforced by the addition of carbon nanotubes and another formulation reinforced by the addition of silver nanoparticles to the powder of the same cement. Methodology. Twenty samples each of a control glass ionomer cement (PULPDENT® Glass Fill®, Pulpdent Corp. Watertown, MA, USA), control cement reinforced with 0.0006 gm (0.03% by weight) of carbon nanotubes (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis MO, USA), and control cement reinforced with 0.2 gm (10% by weight) of silver nanoparticles (Nanocyl™, Nanocyl SA, Sambreville, Belgium) were immersed in a staining solution. Color evaluations were carried out after 1 h, 24 h, and 1 week. Color change values were calculated. Results The results indicated that carbon nanotube reinforced specimens exhibited less color stability when compared to controlled glass ionomer cement specimens; however, both samples had significantly greater color stability than silver nanoparticle reinforced glass ionomer samples. Conclusion It can be concluded within the limitations of this study that carbon nanotube reinforced glass ionomer cements have better color stability than silver nanoparticle reinforced glass ionomer cements.

Abstract
Microenergy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (μ-EDXRF) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to test the hypothesis that zirconia modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) could improve resistance to erosion-abrasion to a greater extent than conventional cement. Bovine enamel (n = 40) and dentin (n = 40) samples were prepared with cavities, filled with one of the two restorative materials (GIC: glass-ionomer cement or ZrGIC: zirconia-modified GIC). Furthermore, the samples were treated with abrasion-saliva (AS) or abrasion-erosion cycles (AE). Erosive cycles (immersion in orange juice, three times/day for a duration of 1 min over a 5 day period) and/or abrasive challenges (electric toothbrush, three times/day for a duration of 1 min over a 5 day period) were performed. Positive mineral variation (MV%) on the enamel after erosion-abrasion was observed for both materials (p < 0.05), whereas a negative MV% on the dentin was observed for both materials and treatments (p < 0.05). The SEM images showed clear enamel loss after erosion-abrasion treatment and material degradation was greater in GIC_AE compared to those of the other groups. Toothbrush abrasion showed a synergistic effect with erosion on substance loss of bovine enamel, dentin, GIC, and ZrGIC restorations. Zirconia addition to the GIC powder improved the resistance to abrasive-erosive processes. The ZrGIC materials may find application as a restorative material due to improved resistance as well as in temporary restorations and fissure sealants.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the ion release from four commercially available pit-and-fissure sealants [3M Clinpro, 3M Concise™, BeautiSealant (BS), and GI FX-II)]. With each brand, 18 specimens were prepared. Their fluoride release in de-ionized water was measured by fluoride electrode, while the release of silicate (Si), aluminum (Al), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and phosphorus (P) was measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The result showed that fluoride was not released from 3M Concise™. GI FX-II displayed the largest fluoride release, which, however, dropped rapidly on day 3. 3M Clinpro exhibited less fluoride release than GI FX-II and BS did. At any time during the 28-day experimental period, GI FX-II released more Na than the other sealants (P<0.001). BS ranked the second in Na release, and a small amount of Na ions was released from the 3M Clinpro and 3M Concise™ samples. Al ions were only detected from BS and GI FX-II, but not from the 3M Clinpro and 3M Concise™. Additionally GI FX-II had the largest Si release among the four brands at any time during the experimental period (P<0.001). Ca ions were detected from 3M Clinpro and 3M Concise™, but not from GI FX-II. BS released more Sr than the other sealants at any time during the experimental period (P<0.001). All the samples released similar amounts of P continuously during these 28 days. In conclusion, based on the type and the amount of ion release, BS is the best pit-and-fissure sealant among the four brands.
