METHODS: Powder particles of GICs were examined with SEM-EDX. Setting kinetics were assessed using ATR-FTIR. Biaxial flexural strength/modulus and Vickers surface microhardness were measured after immersion in water for 24 h and 4 weeks. The release of F, Al, Sr, and P in water over 8 weeks was analyzed using a fluoride-specific electrode and ICP-OES. The toxicity of the material extract on mouse fibroblasts was also evaluated.
RESULTS: High fluoride levels in the powder were detected with EF and F9. DT demonstrated an initial delay followed by a faster acid reaction compared to other cements, suggesting an improved snap set. DT also exhibited superior flexural strength than other materials at both 24 h and 4 weeks but lower surface microhardness (p < 0.05). EF and F9 showed higher release of F, Al, and P than DT and KT. There was no statistically significant difference in fibroblast viability among the tested materials (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Elastomeric micelles-containing glass ionomer cement (DT) exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties and cytocompatibility compared with other materials. DT could, therefore, potentially be considered an alternative high-strength GIC for load-bearing restorations.
方法:用SEM-EDX检查GIC的粉末颗粒。使用ATR-FTIR评估凝固动力学。在水中浸泡24小时和4周后,测量双轴弯曲强度/模量和维氏表面显微硬度。F的释放,Al,Sr,使用氟化物特异性电极和ICP-OES分析8周内水中的P。还评估了材料提取物对小鼠成纤维细胞的毒性。
结果:用EF和F9检测到粉末中的高氟化物含量。与其他水泥相比,DT表现出最初的延迟,然后是更快的酸反应,建议改进的快照集。在24小时和4周时,DT也表现出比其他材料更好的弯曲强度,但表面显微硬度较低(p<0.05)。EF和F9显示出更高的F释放,Al,和P比DT和KT。在测试材料中,成纤维细胞活力没有统计学上的显著差异(p>0.05)。
结论:与其他材料相比,含弹性胶束的玻璃离聚物水泥(DT)表现出令人满意的机械性能和细胞相容性。DT可以,因此,可能被认为是承重修复的替代高强度GIC。
