Comparative evaluation of microleakage in conventional glass ionomer cements and triclosan incorporated glass ionomer cements

Abstract

Aim and Objective:The aim of the following study is to comparatively evaluate the microleakage of triclosan incorporated GIC with conventional restorative GIC.Materials and Methods:Triclosan in powder form was added to conventional GIC to formulate a concentration of 2.5%. Class five cavities were prepared in non-carious extracted molars and were respectively restored with conventional restorative GIC and triclosan incorporated GIC. Samples were kept in 10% methylene blue dye. Ground sections were obtained and were observed under a binocular microscope for dye penetration.Result:No significant difference was found in the microleakage of two groups.Conclusion:Triclosan incorporated GIC can be considered as an alternative to GIC with enhanced antibacterial property.

Antimicrobial properties of conventional restorative filling materials and advances in antimicrobial properties of composite resins and glass ionomer cements—A literature review

“…Incorporation of EGCG to dental adhesives it did not affect the durability of the bond [168]. Addition of triclosan also had positive results, when added to GIC did not increase microleakage of the material [163] and its addition to adhesives did not affect adhesion [162].…”

“…Other additives to composites and GICs found to be effective against cariogenic bacteria include cetylpyridium chloride, cetrimide [148,150,155,156], benzalkonium chloride [95,146], sodium fusidate [157], 2,2 -bipyridine [158], chitosan [159,160], triclosan [66,149,[161][162][163], propolis [164,165], anthocyanin [166], tetrapod-like zinc oxide whisker (T-ZnOw) [167] and epigallocatechin-2-gallate (EGCG) [11,168,169]. In contrast to most of the other additives, addition of T-ZnOw epigallocatechin-2-gallate resulted in improved mechanical properties [11,167].…”

Modification of glass ionomer cements on their physical‐mechanical and antimicrobial properties

“…Yet, the effect of adding the triclosan into GICs on the physical and mechanical properties of GICs has not been investigated in this study. In the following years, Somani et al 159 reported that microleakage of 2.5% triclosan incorporated GICs were similar to the conventional GICs. Shear bond strength of 2.5% triclosan incorporated GICs was also higher than conventional GICs.…”

“…Sainulabdeen et al 153 In vitro Modified GIC was more effective against L. acidophilus and S. mutans than chlorhexidine incorporated GIC Physical and mechanical properties of modified GIC have not been investigated Somani et al 159,160 In vitro The antibacterial properties of triclosan incorporated GIC of has not been evaluated…”

Effect of addition of antimicrobial triclosan on selected properties of water-activated glass ionomer cement

“…Microleakage of 2.5% triclosan-incorporated GIC was compared with conventional type II GIC and the results revealed that microleakage was similar to that of conventional GIC. 44,45 The idea is to enhance the antimicrobial properties of GICs with a balanced dose of additives incorporated into the compound, without causing biological, physical and chemical changes of a biomaterial. It is suggested that these restorative materials can be used as controlledrelease devices, a topic of great interest in modern day pharmacy.…”
