The Effect of Using CaCl2 Gel on Water Sorption and Solubility of Conventional Glass Ionomer (In-vitro Study)
Nahla Ali Amer
Abstract:Background: Glass ionomer cements (GIC) offer unique properties and clinical uses, making them clinically attractive restorative materials. However, these materials still have limitations due to their lower mechanical and physical properties. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) solution has been used as a method of improving water sorption and solubility properties of GIC. A new form of CaCl2 was suggested by different authors to be more user friendly. Water sorption and solubility were measured at baseline and after the… Show more
