Abstract
This study compared the compressive and diametral tensile strength, compressive modulus, shear bond strength to dentin and resin composite, marginal gap between the base and tooth in Class V cavity preparation, and fluoride release of three glass ionomer base materials. In general, visible light-cured (VLC) base materials outperform the autopolymerizing glass ionomer base Ketac-Bond. The compressive modulus is significantly less for the VLC glass ionomer materials Vitrebond and Fuji LC compared to Ketac-Bond. The Fuji LC had greater diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, bond to dentin and bond to resin composite than Vitrebond or Ketac-Bond. The fluoride release of Vitrebond was greater than Ketac-Bond or Fuji LC. The marginal gap at the tooth/base interface was significantly less with the Fuji LC compared to the other two materials.
