Mineral density changes in bovine carious dentin after treatment with bioactive dental cements: a comparative micro-CT study

Abstract

Based on minimally invasive concept, materials with remineralization potential can be used to preserve diseased but still repairable dental tissue.

Effect of immersion in distilled water or phosphate‐buffered saline on the solubility, volumetric change and presence of voids within new calcium silicate‐based root canal sealers

“…Moreover, micro‐CT allows longitudinal follow‐up of the samples (Neves et al . ). This is the first study to report volumetric change values of endodontic materials after immersion in distilled water or PBS.…”

“…According to this methodology, solubility and dimensional changes can be evaluated by the same experiment (Silva et al 2017). Moreover, micro-CT allows longitudinal follow-up of the samples (Neves et al 2019). This is the first study to report volumetric change values of endodontic materials after immersion in distilled water or PBS.…”

Flexural properties and dentin adhesion in recently developed self-adhesive bulk-fill materials

“…The glass ionomer cement (GIC) family is the most widely used selfadhesive bulk-fill material in direct restorations [3]. GICs have other interesting properties that are directly linked to their chemistry, such as moisture tolerance [4] and rechargeable fluoride release from fluoroalumino-silicate (FAS) fillers, which leads to potential dental hard tissue remineralization [5] and cariostatic effects [6]. These materials can be resin-free, such as the GICs and their improved formulation-called highviscosity glass ionomer cements (HV-GICs)-or may contain additional resinous content (mainly 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), such as resinmodified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) [3].…”

Porosity and pore size distribution in high-viscosity and conventional glass ionomer cements: a micro-computed tomography study

“…Although many studies have evaluated the porosity of different types, mixing methods, and brands of GICs [ 14 16 17 27 28 ], very few have used the nondestructive micro-CT technique [ 18 19 ]. Micro-CT allows evaluation of the bulk of the entire specimen, the visualization of its internal structure, and volumetric analysis [ 30 ]. In the present study, a statistically significant difference in total porosity was observed between the 2 HVGICs, with Vitro Molar showing lower porosity results than the conventional GICs.…”
