The effect of particle size distribution on an experimental glass-ionomer cement

Influence of power density on the setting behaviour of light-cured glass-ionomer cements monitored by ultrasound measurements

“…21 A smaller powder particle size might lead to a more rapid reaction, because of the increased surface area. 22 By contrast, in the current study the most rapid increase in sound velocity was found for FL, especially when the cement mix was not lightirradiated. FL also undergoes the following setting reactions: an acid-base reaction between the fluoroaluminosilicate glass and the polycarboxylic acid; and free-radical polymerization of the pendant methacrylate groups of the polymer (urethane dimethacrylate) and HEMA (Table 1).…”

“…Particle size can also influence different characteristics of materials, for example an increased surface area (smaller particle size) can lead to greater dissolution during the setting reaction [28]; decreased working and setting times [29]; higher compressive strength (CS); and higher diametral tensile strength (DTS) [30]. …”

Indirect pulp capping in primary molar using glass ionomer cements

“…Besides that, strontium can also give effect of anti microbe after those cements are getting harder. 13 Strontium produce remineralization through ion exchange adhesion process in dentin, moreover, it can prevent the formation of nutrition for bacteria, and can decrease the colonization of bacteria live in cavity base. 9 The second examination conducted during control period was clinical examination.…”

“…Strontium producing radiopacity and fluorine formed by fluoride ion entering into matrix phase can improve the remineralization process of dental structure got caries and give effect of anti microbe when the cements are getting harder. 13 Glass ionomer cements (GC Fuji VII), thus, are located in cavity base, demineralized dentin or infected layer. The aim is to remineralize dentin that has been demineralized.…”
