Article Synopsis
- - This study developed a new orthodontic primer that includes graphite fluoride (GF) and bioactive glass (BAG), and evaluated its effectiveness in cell viability, bonding strength, enamel damage, antibacterial, and remineralization properties.
- - Nine different primer groups were tested with varying GF and BAG concentrations, showing good cell viability and comparable shear bond strength to the control group, while improving antibacterial effects and reducing enamel damage.
- - The GFBAG 4-3 group had the highest remineralization potential, making it a promising option for preventing white spot lesions, but further testing is needed to confirm its efficacy.
Graphene is an extraordinary material with unique mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. Additionally, it boasts high surface area and antimicrobial properties, making it an attractive option for researchers exploring innovative materials for biomedical applications. Although there have been various studies on graphene applications in different biomedical fields, limited reviews have been conducted on its use in dentistry, and no reviews have focused on its application in the orthodontic field.
