Abstract
Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are widely used in dental restorations due to their ability to release fluoride, adhere to dental tissues, and biocompatibility. However, variations in their mechanical properties raise challenges for material selection. This study evaluates the performance of four commercially available GICs: GC Fuji IX GP Fast (F9), ChemFil Superior (CF), FX-II (FX), and SC. Through comprehensive testing, F9 exhibited superior results across key metrics, including surface hardness (96.27 ± 3.82), compressive strength (158.17 ± 20.15), and the lowest solubility (15.65 ± 0.41). Additionally, F9 showed the least water absorption and the best microstructural stability, with minimal cracks observed under SEM analysis. In contrast, SC displayed the lowest mechanical strength and the highest cytotoxicity, making it less suitable for high-stress applications. The results highlight F9 as the most promising material for dental restorations, especially in high-load environments, due to its durability, stability, and biocompatibility combination. This study provides practical guidance for clinicians in selecting optimal restorative materials to enhance long-term treatment outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore these materials' long-term performance under clinical conditions.
玻璃离子水门合剂(gic)由于其释放氟化物、粘附于牙组织和生物相容性的能力而广泛应用于牙齿修复。然而,它们机械性能的变化给材料选择带来了挑战。本研究评估了四种市售gic的性能:GC Fuji IX GP Fast (F9), ChemFil Superior (CF), FX- ii (FX)和SC。通过综合测试,F9在关键指标上表现优异,包括表面硬度(96.27±3.82),抗压强度(158.17±20.15)和最低溶解度(15.65±0.41)。此外,F9的吸水率最小,微观结构稳定性最好,SEM下观察到的裂纹最小。相反,SC表现出最低的机械强度和最高的细胞毒性,使其不太适合高应力应用。结果表明,F9由于其耐久性、稳定性和生物相容性组合而成为最有前途的牙科修复材料,特别是在高负荷环境下。本研究为临床医生选择最佳修复材料以提高长期治疗效果提供了实践指导。建议进一步研究这些材料在临床条件下的长期性能。
