Comparative Evaluation of Solubility of Five Commercially Available Glass Ionomer Luting Cements in Dynamic Artificial Saliva: An In Vitro Study
Author(s): Aditi Paldiwal*
Aim: To compare solubility of five luting cements namely, GC glass ionomer cement, 3M glass ionomer cement, shofu glass ionomer cement, SDI glass ionomer cement and ivoclar glass ionomer cement in artificial saliva media with two different pH, (pH-5 and pH-7) circulated with magnetic field. Material and methods: Each of the five materials under investigation was used to create a total of 40 specimens, which were then compared for their solubility in an artificial salivary environment. The solubility was determined by calculating the difference between the specimen's initial weight and its final, constant weight after being stored in a desiccator. Results: All glass ionomer luting cements show highest solubility in pH 5 and lowest solubility in pH 7. Among all glass ionomer luting cements GC, 3M, ivoclar and sho.. Read More»
