Hamdy TM. Effect of E-glass fibers addition on compressive strength, flexural strength, hardness, and solubility of glass ionomer based cement. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:739. [PMID: 38937723 PMCID: PMC11210041 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04447-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In dentistry, glass-ionomer cements (GICs) are extensively used for a range of applications. The unique properties of GIC include fluoride ion release and recharge, chemical bonding to the tooth's hard tissues, biocompatibility, a thermal expansion coefficient like that of enamel and dentin, and acceptable aesthetics. Their high solubility and poor mechanical qualities are among their limitations. E-glass fibers are generally utilized to reinforce the polymer matrix and are identified by their higher silica content. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of adding (10 wt% and 20 wt%) silane-treated E-glass fibers to traditional GIC on its mechanical properties (compressive strength, flexural strength, and surface hardness) and solubility. METHODS The characterization of the E-glass fiber fillers was achieved by XRF, SEM, and PSD. The specimens were prepared by adding the E-glass fiber fillers to the traditional GIC at 10% and 20% by weight, forming two innovative groups, and compared with the unmodified GIC (control group). The physical properties (film thickness and initial setting time) were examined to confirm operability after mixing. The evaluation of the reinforced GIC was performed by assessing the compressive strength, flexural strength, hardness, and solubility (n = 10 specimens per test). A one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests were performed for statistical analysis (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS The traditional GIC showed the least compressive strength, flexural strength, hardness, and highest solubility. While the GIC reinforced with 20 wt% E-glass fibers showed the highest compressive strength, flexural strength, hardness, and least solubility. Meanwhile, GIC reinforced with 10 wt% showed intermediate results (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION Using 20 wt% E-glass fiber as a filler with the traditional GIC provides a strengthening effect and reduced solubility.

Deep margin elevation in class II cavities: A comparative evaluation of microleakage and interface integrity using confocal laser microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. JOURNAL OF CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS 2024; 27:529-534. [PMID: 38939536 PMCID: PMC11205177 DOI: 10.4103/jcde.jcde_155_24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Aim This study aims to evaluate the microleakage between the gingival seat and base material and to assess the interface integrity between the base material and overlying composite in class II cavities restored using deep margin elevation. Materials and Methods Thirty maxillary molars (n = 30) were taken, and class II cavities were prepared with a gingival seat extending below the cementoenamel junction. These teeth were divided into three groups for subgingival margin elevation using different materials: Group A (n = 10) - flowable composite, Group B (n = 10) - glass ionomer cement (GIC), and Group C (n = 10) - GIC with nanohydroxyapatite (GIC n-HAp). The remaining cavities were restored with bulk-fill composite. After undergoing 1000 thermocycling cycles, half of the samples were examined for microleakage using confocal laser microscopy, and the other half were assessed for interface integrity using scanning electron microscopy. Microleakage was statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA, and interface integrity was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results The study found that GIC n-HAp exhibited significantly lower microleakage between the base material and gingival seat than flowable composite and GIC. However, regarding interface integrity between the base material and bulk-fill composite, flowable composite, and GIC outperformed GIC n-HAp. Conclusions Incorporating n-HAp into GIC effectively reduced microleakage at the dentin-base material interface. However, the interface integrity between GIC n-HAp and the composite poses a challenge.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the incorporation of 2, 4 or 6 wt% of amorphous nano- or micro-silica (Aerosil® OX 50 or Aeroperl® 300 Pharma (Evonik Operations GmbH, Essen, Germany), respectively) on the net setting time and microhardness of Ketac™ Molar (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and Fuji IX GP® (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) glass-ionomer cements (GICs) (viz. KM and FIX, respectively). Both silica particles were found to cause a non-linear, dose-dependent reduction in setting time that was within the clinically acceptable limits specified in the relevant international standard (ISO 9917-1:2007). The microhardness of KM was statistically unaffected by blending with 2 or 4 wt% nano-silica at all times, whereas 6 wt% addition decreased and increased the surface hardness at 1 and 21 days, respectively. The incorporation of 4 or 6 wt% nano-silica significantly improved the microhardness of FIX at 1, 14 and 21 days, with no change in this property noted for 2 wt% addition. Micro-silica also tended to enhance the microhardness of FIX, at all concentrations and times, to an extent that became statistically significant for all dosages at 21 days. Conversely, 4 and 6 wt% additions of micro-silica markedly decreased the initial 1-day microhardness of KM, and the 21-day sample blended at 4 wt% was the only specimen that demonstrated a significant increase in this property. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the nano- and micro-silica particles were well distributed throughout the composite structures of both GICs with no evidence of aggregation or zoning. The specific mechanisms of the interaction of inorganic nanoparticles with the constituents of GICs require further understanding, and a lack of international standardization of the determination of microhardness is problematic in this respect.

Abstract
This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of calcium and phosphate ions release on the bioactivity and remineralization potential of glass ionomer cement (GIC). Electronic databases, including PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science, were systematically searched according to PRISMA guidelines. This review was registered in the PROSPERO database. Five eligible studies on modifying GIC with calcium and phosphate ions were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the RoBDEMAT tool. The incorporation of these ions into GIC enhanced its bioactivity and remineralization properties. It promoted hydroxyapatite formation, which is crucial for remineralization, increased pH and inhibited cariogenic bacteria growth. This finding has implications for the development of more effective dental materials. This can contribute to improved oral health outcomes and the management of dental caries, addressing a prevalent and costly oral health issue. Nevertheless, comprehensive longitudinal investigations are needed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of this GIC's modification.

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
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.

Abstract
Introduction:
Bioactive glass (BAG) is increasingly used in dentistry, aiming to provide superior mechanical properties, optimal chemical stability, and favorable antimicrobial activity in the oral environment. This study aimed to measure the flexural strength (FS) and antimicrobial activity of resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement containing 58S nano-BAG.
Materials and Methods:
In this in vitro study, 0wt (Weight) %, 10wt%, 20wt%, and 30wt% 58S nano-BAG particles were added to RMGI powder in groups 1 to 4, respectively (n=10). Forty specimens were fabricated in metal molds (2 x 25 x 2 mm), and their FS was measured by using a three-point bending test at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The antibacterial activity of the materials against Streptococcus mutants was assessed by the disc diffusion test. In addition to the abovementioned experimental groups, one control group (n=10) containing 100% BAG was also considered. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test.
Results:
The mean (± standard deviation) FS was 38.71±8.84, 43.61±17.34, 45.62±15.89, and 54.71±14.25 MPa in groups 1 to 4, respectively. No significant difference was noted in FS among the groups (P=0.06). A significant difference was found in the diameter of the growth inhibition zone among the groups (P<0.05), and group 4 containing 30wt% BAG showed minimal bacterial growth.
Conclusion:
The addition of 10wt%, 20wt% and 30wt% nano-BAG to RMGI powder did not significantly change the FS but the addition of 30wt% nano-BAG to RMGI significantly inhibited the bacterial growth.
