The interfacial properties of a new calcium-silicate-based coronal restorative material
(Biodentine™) and a glass-ionomer cement (GIC) with dentin have been studied by confocal …

Objective Since their introduction, calcium silicate cements have primarily found use as
endodontic sealers, due to long setting times. While similar in chemistry, recent variations …

Glass-ionomer cements (GICs) are regarded as aqueous gels made up of polyalkenoic acid
salts containing ion-leachable glass fillers. The consequence of water permeation across …

Objectives: The work was carried out with a view to identifying the elements composing the
glass ionomer under study, and then to characterising the interactions occurring between …

THIS report on dental silicate ce ments is the culmination of approxi mately three years of
cooperative research work among scientists at the Na tional Bureau of Standards and the …

This study investigated the bonding mechanisms of glass-ionomer cement to dentin. The
approaches included mechanical determination of bond strengths, analysis of surface …

Calcium silicate cements were identified as excellent materials for dentistry, particularly for
dental procedures contacting the dental pulp or root system. Both calcium silicate and …

A study has been made on improving the adhesion of a glass-ionomer cement by the
chemical treatment of dentin and enamel surfaces. The most effective surface conditioners …

Class III, IV, and V restorations. However, their use as occlusal restorations was not
successful because of excessive clinical wear. lb3 Measurements on replicas of restorations …

The long-term bonding of dental materials to dentin remains an area of great controversy
and the results of in vitro testing do not always reflect those found in vivo. The clinician is …
