Comparative Evaluation of Microhardness and Solubility of Different Combinations of Antibiotic Powders Added to Glass Ionomer Cement: An Study.

Introduction: The imbalance between remineralization and demineralization leads to the formation of secondary caries. Fluoride-releasing ability has been the characteristic property of glass ionomer cement (GIC), but it is uncertain if this property alone will be sufficient for the cessation of the growth of the organisms. Therefore, a restorative material with additional bacteriostatic properties needs to be introduced.
