Abstract:Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a restorative material used in child dental care with anti-cariogenic properties and fluoride release. However, this GIC has some disadvantages, such as high solubility due to acid particles that can cause surface roughness. Children at a young age typically drink milk, such as Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk or soy milk which may affect the restorative material. This study aimed to evaluate the surface roughness of GIC immersed in UHT milk, soy milk, and artificial saliva. This… Show more
