Effects of nanocrystalline calcium deficient hydroxyapatite incorporation in glass ionomer cements

Study of the Mechanical Properties of the Novel Zirconia-reinforced Glass Ionomer Cement

“…16,17 The unique properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC), such as adhesion to moist teeth, anticarcinogenic character, lack of exothermic polymerization, excellent adhesion to dentin, close thermal expansion to tooth, satisfactory biocompatibility, make it an important material in dental applications. 18 One of the major drawbacks is its weak mechanical properties like brittleness, low strength, and toughness. 19 Hence GICs were mostly used for the restoration of anterior teeth and in areas without any load due to their poor mechanical strength.…”

An Invitro Comparative Evaluation of Compressive Strength and Antibacterial Activity of Conventional GIC and Hydroxyapatite Reinforced GIC in Different Storage Media

“…The results concluded that significant increase in hardness with little or no significant change was found for fracture toughness or compressive strength even though it appeared to be increased in compressive strength with increase in wt percent of nanoparticles to cement [16] Moshaverinia et al, incorporated synthesized nanoceramic (nanohydroxy and fluoroapatite) particles which were incorporated into commercial glass ionomer powder (Fuji II GC) and evaluated for compressive, diametral tensile and biaxial flexural strengths and bond strength to dentin. The results concluded that there was significant increase in the compressive diametral tensile and biaxial flexural strengths when compared to control group after period of 7days.Bond strength to dentin increased significantly over period of 30days [17].…”

The addition of synthesized hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite nanoparticles to a glass-ionomer cement for dental restoration and its effects on mechanical properties

“…Checking with the related card of the pure material, it was exhibited that the synthesized nanoparticles after calcination at 700 °C were formed in almost pure states (ICDD standard, HA: JCPDS No. 09-0432), and all the peaks corresponded to a hexagonal crystal system of HA(42, 43, [61][62][63][64][65]. In all cases, the small size of the particles formed after drying caused the formation of broad peaks in the XRD pattern (66).…”
