Abstract
BACKGROUND Low mechanical properties are the main limitation of glass ionomer cements (GICs). The incorporation of elastomeric micelles is expected to enhance the strength of GICs without detrimentally affecting their physical properties and biocompatibility. This study compared the chemical and mechanical properties, as well as the cytotoxicity, of elastomeric micelles-containing glass ionomer cement (DeltaFil, DT) with commonly used materials, including EQUIA Forte Fil (EF), Fuji IX GP Extra (F9), and Ketac Molar (KT). METHOD Powder particles of GICs were examined with SEM-EDX. Setting kinetics were assessed using ATR-FTIR. Biaxial flexural strength/modulus and Vickers surface microhardness were measured after immersion in water for 24 h and 4 weeks. The release of F, Al, Sr, and P in water over 8 weeks was analyzed using a fluoride-specific electrode and ICP-OES. The toxicity of the material extract on mouse fibroblasts was also evaluated. RESULTS High fluoride levels in the powder were detected with EF and F9. DT demonstrated an initial delay followed by a faster acid reaction compared to other cements, suggesting an improved snap set. DT also exhibited superior flexural strength than other materials at both 24 h and 4 weeks but lower surface microhardness (p < 0.05). EF and F9 showed higher release of F, Al, and P than DT and KT. There was no statistically significant difference in fibroblast viability among the tested materials (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Elastomeric micelles-containing glass ionomer cement (DT) exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties and cytocompatibility compared with other materials. DT could, therefore, potentially be considered an alternative high-strength GIC for load-bearing restorations.

Assessing the Influence of Thermocycling on Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength, and Microhardness in Green-Mediated Nanocomposite-Enhanced Glass Ionomer Cement Compared to Traditional Glass Ionomer Cement. 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.

Using Functionalized Micron-Sized Glass Fibres for the Synergistic Effect of Glass Ionomer on Luting Material. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:550.

Abstract
This laboratory experiment was conducted with the objective of augmenting the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC) via altering the composition of GIC luting powder through the introduction of micron-sized silanized glass fibres (GFs). Experimental GICs were prepared through the addition of two concentrations of GFs (0.5% and 1.0% by weight) to the powder of commercially available GIC luting materials. The effect of GF in set GIC was internally evaluated using micro-CT while the mechanical attributes such as nano hardness (nH), elastic modulus (EM), compressive strength (CS), and diametral tensile strength (DTS) were gauged. Additionally, the physical properties such as water solubility and sorption, contact angle (CA), and film thickness were evaluated. Reinforced Ketac Cem Radiopaque (KCR) GIC with 0.5 wt.% GF achieved improved nH, EM, CS, and DTS without affecting the film thickness, CA or internal porosity of the set GIC cement. In contrast, both GF-GIC formulations of Medicem (MC) GIC showed the detrimental effect of the GF incorporation. Reinforcing KCR GIC with 0.5 wt.% silanized GFs could improve the physical and mechanical attributes of luting material. Silanized GF, with optimal concentration within the GIC powder, can be used as a functional additive in KCR GIC with promising results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) are currently the most widely used dental cements due to their chemical bonding into tooth structure, release of fluoride, and ease of manipulation and usage. One of their drawbacks is their low mechanical properties and high solubility. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could be utilized in dentistry due to their several potential applications. CNTs can be used as fillers to reinforce polymers or other materials. Additionally, silver (Ag) nanoparticles are highly effective at preventing dental biofilm and enhancing mechanical properties. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present in vitro study is to evaluate the compressive strength, surface microhardness, solubility, and antimicrobial effect of the conventional GIC reinforced with manual blending of 0.01 wt.% Ag doped CNT fillers. METHODS The control group was prepared by mixing dental GIC powder with their liquid. The innovatively reinforced dental GIC group was prepared by incorporating 0.01 wt.% Ag doped CNT fillers into the GIC powder prior to liquid mixing. Chemical characterization was performed by XRF. While, physical characterization was done by measuring film thickness and initial setting time. The compressive strength, surface microhardness, solubility, and antimicrobial effect against Streptococcus mutans bacteria using an agar diffusion test were measured. The data was statistically analyzed using independent sample t-tests to compare mean values of compressive strength, surface microhardness, solubility, and antimicrobial activity (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS The results revealed that innovative reinforced GIC with 0.01 wt.% Ag doped CNT fillers showed higher mean compressive strength, surface microhardness, and antimicrobial effect values than the conventional GIC control group; there was no significant difference between different groups in relation to the solubility test (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION The innovatively reinforced GIC with 0.01 wt.% Ag doped CNT fillers had the opportunity to be used as an alternative to conventional GIC dental cements.

Abstract
This study characterized TiO2 nanotube (TiO2-nt) ultrastructure and morphology, and the physicochemical impact on high-viscosity conventional glass-ionomer cement (GIC). TiO2-nt was synthesized by the alkaline method (n = 3), assessed by scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), and was added (3%, 5%, 7%-in weight) to KM (Ketac Molar EasyMix™). Analyses included: SEM; Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS); Raman spectroscopy (RAMAN); Setting time with Gillmore needles (ST); Color (Co); Radiopacity (XR); Water sorption (WS); and solubility (SO). Quantitative data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's tests (chr = 0.05). External and internal TiO2-nt diameters were 11 ± 2 nm and 6 ± 0 nm, respectively. Data analyses showed: (i) TiO2-nt present into KM matrix, with a concentration-dependent increase of Ti levels into KM, (ii) physical interaction between KM and TiO2-nt, (iii) longer initial ST for the 7% group compared to KM and 3% groups (p ≤ 0.01), (iv) decreased luminosity and yellowness for the 5% and 7% groups, (v) 36% greater radiopacity for the 5% group compared to enamel, dentin, and KM, and (vi) lower SO values for the 5% group, with no significant differences on WS across the groups. TiO2-nt displayed physical interaction with KM matrix, and also modified SO, XR and Co, without affecting ST. This study provides information on the potential impact of TiO2-nt on GIC performance. TiO2-nt may be proposed to boost confidence among dental surgeons in terms of GIC's handling characteristics, success rate and differential diagnostic.

Abstract
This laboratory investigation aimed to synthesize and characterize micron-sized Gum Arabic (GA) powder and incorporate it in commercially available GIC luting formulation for enhanced physical and mechanical properties of GIC composite. Oxidation of GA was performed and GA-reinforced GIC in 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 & 8.0 wt.% formulations were prepared in disc-shaped using two commercially available GIC luting materials (Medicem and Ketac Cem Radiopaque). While the control groups of both materials were prepared as such. The effect of reinforcement was evaluated in terms of nano hardness, elastic modulus, diametral tensile strength (DTS), compressive strength (CS), water solubility and sorption. Two-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were used to analyze data for statistical significance (p < 0.05). FTIR spectrum confirmed the formation of acid groups in the backbone of polysaccharide chain of GA while XRD peaks confirmed that crystallinity of oxidized GA. The experimental group with 0.5 wt.% GA in GIC enhanced the nano hardness while 0.5 wt.% and 1.0 wt.% GA in GIC increased the elastic modulus compared to the control. The CS of 0.5 wt.% GA in GIC and DTS of 0.5 wt.% and 1.0 wt.% GA in GIC demonstrated elevation. In contrast, the water solubility and sorption of all the experimental groups increased compared to the control groups. The incorporation of lower weight ratios of oxidized GA powder in GIC formulation helps in enhancing the mechanical properties with a slight increase in water solubility and sorption parameters. The addition of micron-sized oxidized GA in GIC formulation is promising and needs further research for improved performance of GIC luting composition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an antimicrobial silver zeolite glass ionomer cement (SZ-GIC) and determine its biocompatibility, physical, adhesive and antibacterial properties. METHODS Silver nitrate and sodium zeolite were used to synthesize silver zeolite (SZ). SZ-GICs were prepared by incorporating SZ into GIC at 5% (SZ-GIC5), 2% (SZ-GIC2), or 1% (SZ-GIC1) by weight, respectively. The SZ-GICs were characterized by evaluating surface morphology, topography and elemental composition. SZ-GICs' biocompatibility was assessed by evaluating cell cytotoxicity. Their physical properties were determined by testing setting time, compressive strength, flexural strength, water sorption and solubility. Their adhesive property was assessed by evaluating micro-tensile bond strength. Their antibacterial properties were assessed by evaluating biofilm growth kinetic, metabolic activity, viability and morphology. GIC was used as a control. RESULTS SZ was a three-dimensional crystalline mineral. SZ-GICs (including SZ-GIC 5, 2 and 1) showed similar surface morphology and topography to GIC. SZ-GIC1 and GIC had no difference in cell cytotoxicity (p>0.05). SZ-GICs and GIC showed no difference in setting time (p>0.05). SZ-GICs had higher compressive and flexural strength than GIC (p<0.05). SZ-GIC2 and SZ-GIC1 showed lower water sorption and solubility than GIC (p<0.05). SZ-GICs had higher micro-tensile bond strength than GIC (p<0.05). Biofilms on SZ-GICs' surfaces showed lower colony-forming units, decreased metabolic activities, higher percentages of dead cells and more ruptured bacterial cells compared with those on GIC. CONCLUSION SZ-GIC with silver zeolite at 1% by weight are as biocompatible as conventional GIC. The SZ-GICs have enhanced physical, adhesive and antibacterial properties than GIC. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE A silver zeolite glass ionomer cement was developed. The SZ-GICs have great potential for caries prevention and management.

Abstract
Background: We assessed the effect of propolis on the antibacterial, mechanical, and adhesive properties of a commercial poly(alkenoate) cement. Methods: The cement was modified with various concentrations of propolis, and antibacterial assays were performed against S. mutans by both MTT assays and agar diffusion tests. The compressive, flexural, and adhesive properties were also evaluated. Results: the modified cement showed activity against S. mutans in both assays, although reductions in compressive (from 211.21 to 59.3 MPa) and flexural strength (from 11.1 to 6.2 MPa) were noted with the addition of propolis, while adhesive strength (shear bond strength and a novel pull-out method) showed a statistical difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: the antiseptic potential of modified material against S. mutans will allow this material to be used in cases in which low mechanical resistance is required (in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties) when using atraumatic restorative techniques, especially in deep cavities.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 123:104785.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to improve interfacial interaction between basalt fibers (BF) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) matrix with grafting amine terminated urea-based oligomer (DIEDA) onto the surface of BF. The DIEDA-BF was prepared by the reaction between 3-aminopropyl- triethoxysilane (APS) modified BF with Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and followed with ethylenediamine (EDA). The reaction was repeated to obtain three generations of DIEDA-BF which were marked as DIEDA-BF-G1, DIEDA-BF-G2, and DIEDA-BF-G3, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize DIEDA-BF. 3D morphology analysis was taken to investigate the variation of BF after being treated with EDA. Three-point bending-test, compressive strength (CS) test, and fracture toughness (FT) were used to evaluate the reinforcement effect of DIEDA-BF on commercial GIC (GC Fuji IX). Water sorption (WS) and solubility (SL) were measured according to the mass variation at fixed time intervals. The changes of flexural strength (FS) and modulus (FM) after water immersion were used to evaluate the water-aging resistance of DIEDA-BF reinforced GIC. Pure GIC and APS reinforced GIC (APS-GIC) were used as double control groups. The XPS analysis indicated that DIEDA was successfully grafted onto the surface of BF. 3D morphology analysis revealed that BF could be corroded in EDA, thus DIEDA-BF-G3 had lower N content on the surface than DIEDA-BF-G2. The results of mechanical tests showed that DIEDA-BF-G1 and DIEDA-BF-G2 had the best reinforcement effect. The DIEDA-BF-G1 reinforcement GIC (DIEDA-BF-G1-GIC) was chosen for WS, SL, and water aging resistance test further. The results showed that all fiber reinforced GICs had higher WS than pure GIC, and the relationship in SL between fiber reinforced GICs and pure GIC varied with immersion time. The FS of DIEDA-BF-G1-GIC decreased after one week of water immersion, and had no variation after prolonging the immersion time. After three months of water immersion, DIEDA-BF-G1-GIC still had much higher FS than pure GIC and APS-BF-GIC. DIEDA could improve the interfacial interaction between BF and GIC matrix. After long term of water immersion, DIEDA-BF reinforced GIC still had FS higher than 50 MPa, which even met the ISO requirement in FS for dental resin composite. Therefore, GIC/DIEDA modified BF composite had potential to be used in stress bearing areas in dentistry.
