Abstract:Background Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a widely used tooth coloured material. However, GIC holds certain undesirable properties. In order to overcoming the major drawback of moisture sensitivity, surface coatings like petroleum jelly, varnish are applied over GIC restoration. Thus, the present study was planned to compare efficacy of newly formulated nano silver fluoride resin coat with G Coat Plus and petroleum jelly on microhardness and microleakage of Type IX GIC. Methods Class V cavities were prepared on… Show more
