Mechanical and thermo‐mechanical characterization of glass ionomer‐filled dental composite

Abstract

In this study, the effect of adding glass ionomer (GI) Restorative Cement (0−30 wt%) on the mechanical and thermo‐mechanical characterization of dental composite has been discussed. The characterization of dental composites was done by performing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hardness test, compression test, flexural strength test, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The finding of experiments indicated that the addition of 10 wt% of GI increased the water hardness, flexural strength and compressive strength by 88.48, 15.95, and 17.74%, respectively. DMA results revealed that the storage modulus was initially increased by 88% when GI was increased up to 20 wt%, however, further increase of GI up to 30 wt% resulted in decrease in the storage modulus by 16.4%. Also, loss modulus was increased by 41.6% when GI was increased by 10 wt%, however, it was further decreased by 2.94% and by 35.29% on addition of GI filler content up to 20 and 30 wt%, respectively. Incorporation of GI up to 10 wt% decreased the damping factor by 36.36% but further addition of GI up to 20 and 30 wt% increased the damping factor of dental composite by 14.2 and 50%. TGA indicated that thermal degradation temperature was increased with the addition of GI filler. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:3361–3367, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers

Paediatric dentistry: Glass ionomer or giomer?

“…Glass ionomer, when combined with conditioner, is most successful when used in atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) [30] . Bonding 10% glass ionomer filler to resin-based composites increases physical properties such as hardness, flexural strength and compressive strength [31] . The shrinkage effect of Ketac Molar Aplicap and Ketac Molar Quick Aplicap glass ionomers is less than that of polymerized RMGIC when the material is light cured [26] .…”

Effect of wood flour and nano‐SiO2 on stimulus response, mechanical, and thermal behavior of 3D printed polylactic acid composites

“…Better performance of composite can be achieved by using the concept of nanotechnology. Addition of nanofiller enhanced the mechanical properties of polymer composite 12–14 . The mechanical properties and thermal resistance of WPC was improved by adding nanosilica filler 15,16 .…”

“…Addition of nanofiller enhanced the mechanical properties of polymer composite. [12][13][14] The mechanical properties and thermal resistance of WPC was improved by adding nanosilica filler. 15,16 Biodegradable and biocompatible polymers exhibit "shape recovery property" which allows them to quickly recover their original shape under the environment temperature more than glass transition temperature.…”

Performance evaluation of glass ionomer and alumina‐silica nanoparticle reinforced dental composite using preference selection index

“…Therefore, resin modified glass ionomer was developed and showed better mechanical properties. [11,12] In another research, it was suggested to use dental composites with calcium type pre-reacted glass-ionomer (PRG-Ca) fillers as a good alternative for restoration. It was reported that adding 40 wt% of calcium type prereacted glass-ionomer enhanced re-mineralizing potential, increased degree of conversion, and mechanical properties.…”
