Comparative investigation of fabrication, roughness, mechanical and wear properties of glass ionomer and nanofillers reinforced dental composite: A review

Abstract

In the present study, comparative analysis of glass ionomer and nanofillers in the performance of dental composite has been reviewed. In dental composite, a number of particulate fillers specifically nanoparticle are being tested and used. A new approach has been tried and investigated to replace expensive nanofillers with the other filler such as glass ionomer. There is a strong need to understand the scientific method, to conduct the clinical trial, and to perform the laboratory test to evaluate role of each parameter, constituent in the performance of dental composite. The present research reviewed the recent finding, possible opportunity and challenges for use of glass ionomer as replacement of nanofiller in dental composite. The existing literature on the favorable and non‐favorable side of glass ionomer is critically evaluated. The major aspect considered in the present review was to evaluate the surface roughness, mechanical properties and wear properties. The present article attempted to provide a state‐ of‐ the‐art analysis of fabrication method, surface treatment method and comparative analysis on role of particulate filler versus glass ionomer on the performance based on mechanical and wear testing mechanism.

A comprehensive review to find capabilities of 4D printing in implantable medical devices

“…applications are biomedical applications (such as dental composite material, bone replacement, dressings, medical disposable equipment, polymeric drug delivery systems, tissue engineered products), packaging materials, adhesives, coatings, industrial fibres, electrical devices, optical devices etc. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. However, the foundation of 4D printing lies in the use of programmable materials, also known as smart materials or functional materials.…”
