Abstract:Introduction: Glass ionomer cements (GICs), the most frequently used restorative materials in pediatric dentistry, may be used as medium for slow release of other active anti-microbial components apart from fluoride. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the level of released chloride ions and anti-microbial compounds by incorporating 2% anti-microbial agents into conventional and experimental GICs.
Material and methods:The study was carried out using a conventional glass ionomer cements C… Show more
