Biocompatibility of various light-curing and one conventional glass-ionomer cement

In VitroComparison of the Effects of Dental Filling Materials on Mouse Fibroblasts

“…Multiple studies are available on the physical and mechanical properties and chemical structure of restorative filling materials (24,26,37,46,50). However, only a very limited number of studies investigate the correlation between the materials that are used for the treatment of root caries and non-carious cervical lesions and the gingival tissue, and their effects on fibroblast attachment (13).…”

The Effects of Six Root-end Filling Materials and Their Leachable Components on Cell Viability

“…In the first part of the study, specimens were prepared in the form of discs (5 mm ϫ 2 mm), and this design has been used by other investigators (8). The elutes of these materials were exposed to Balb/C 3T3 fibroblasts, which is a permanent cell line.…”

A Simplified Technique for Restoring Interproximal Root Surface Lesions

“…9 Therefore, if moisture contamination occurs during placement of your restoration, it will not be as catastrophic as it would be for a composite restoration. Furthermore, conventional glass ionomer has shown excellent biocompatibility 10 and gingival response to restorations placed subgingivally. 11 A downside of this material is its lack of overall strength.…”
