Effect Of Fluoride Release Of Different Restorative Materials On Remineraliation Of Dentin

Background Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases affecting humanity its progression or control depends on the balance between pathological and protective factors and the best strategy for caries management is focused on methods of improving the remineralizing process. Three different fluoride restorative materials were used and compared to study the effect of fluoride release on remimeralization of dentin. Objectives To evaluate the fluoride release of three different fluoride releasing restorative materials Fuji IX GC Fuji II LC and Beautifil injectable and their effects on remineralization of dentin before and after recharging. Materials and Methods The experiement required measurement of cumulative fluoride release through a microprocessor based portable fluoride meter by subjecting three groups of fluoride release restorative materials Fuji IX GC Fuji II LC and Beautifil injectable to pH cycling three times daily for twenty minutes between the artificial saliva for neutralization at pH 7 and citric acid at PH4. The cumulative fluoride release measured at one week four weeks and twelve weeks. The remineraliation of dentin is assessed through dentin restorative materials samples exposed to pH cycling and measured by measurement of fluoride uptake into dentinal tubules at one week and twelve weeks before and after recharging. Through using quantitative environmental scanning electron microscope QESEM. Results Regarding cumulative fluoride release assessment Fuji IX GC is the highest statistically significant than other tested fluoride releasing restorative material at the three aging periods tested at this study and at the two aging media exposed the three tested materials and regarding fluoride uptake assessment beautifil injectable highly significant difference than other two tested restorative materials at both aging periods and both aging media tested at this study. Also the results revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between fluoride uptake values after recharging. Conclusion Under the circumstances of this study conventional glass ionomer restorative material is the martial of choice regarding fluoride release represented by Fuji IX GC the glass ionomer modified resin composite Giomer represented by newly introduced beatifil injectable has the advantage of fluoride uptake and remineralization.no statistical significance before and after recharging of glass ionomer rstoratives.
