Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the microleakage of the new conventional glass ionomer, Fuji IXgp in comparison to another conventional glass ionomer (Fuji II), a resin modified glass ionomer (Vitremer) and a composite resin (TPH) in primary and permanent teeth.
Methods: Twenty-five extracted human premolars and 13 primary molars were used. Preparations were made on the center of the buccal and lingual aspects of the premolars (Group A) and the mesio buccal and disto buccal surface as well as the mesio lingual and disto lingual surface of the primary molars (Group B). Each group was randomly divided into five subgroups of 10 specimens each and restored with a different material following the manufacturer's recommendations. Restorations were subjected to thermocycling followed by microleakage evaluation using 50% silver nitrate and computerized image analysis.
Results: Two factor analysis of variance revealed a significant main effect of material (P<0.001), a trend toward a main effect of tooth type (P=0.082) and a significant interaction term P=0.016. Materials were a source of difference, so a one-way ANOVA test was used for both primary and permanent teeth together and for each individual group of teeth. Differences were further examined with a multi-variate analysis using the Scheffe' test for both groups of teeth and each individual group of teeth. Each group of teeth restored with the same material was then analyzed with an Independent Samples t-test which showed that conventional glass ionomer (Fuji II) had more leakage than all other groups (P<0.01). In addition TPH showed more microleakage in primary teeth (P<0.02) and Fuji II showed more microleakage in permanent teeth (P<0.02).
Conclusions: Fuji IXgp behaved similarly to the composite (TPH) and to the resin modified glass ionomer (Vitremer). This is a promising result for this material that is targeted for application in conjunction with the Atraumatic Restorative Technique and minimal intervention treatments.

Department of Paediatric Dentistry, University Medicine Greifswald, Walther-Rathenau-Straße 42a, Greifswald, Germany.
Aim: This prospective clinical study aimed to clinically investigate the efficiency of (GIC) glass-ionomer cement application (Ionostar Plus + Easy Glaze, VOCO) in reducing hypersensitivity in permanent molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation when assessed immediately (15 min) and 12 weeks after its application.
Materials And Methods: Children with at least one hypersensitive MIH-affected permanent molar (MIH-TNI-3 or 4). The pre-treatment status was evaluated and only included if they did not receive a tooth-specific in-office desensitizing treatment within one month.

Objective This in vitro study evaluated the impact of different time intervals on the color stability of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite materials bonded to teeth treated with silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Specifically, the study sought to determine if immediate or delayed application of these restorative materials affects the degree of staining caused by SDF. Materials and methods Twenty-eight extracted primary molars with cavitated lesions were randomly divided into four groups, each comprising seven samples.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has added glass ionomer cement (GIC) to the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines since 2021, which represents the most efficacious, safe and cost-effective medicines for priority conditions. With the potential increase in the use of GIC, this review aims to provide an overview of the clinical application of GIC with updated evidence in restorative and preventive dentistry. GIC is a versatile dental material that has a wide range of clinical applications, particularly in restorative and preventive dentistry.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effects of coffee exposure on the color and roughness of conventional and bulk-fill resin composites, with and without surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler.
Methodology: Forty-eight cylindrical samples (Ø6 mm × 2 mm) were prepared and categorized as follows (n = 12 per group): conventional nano-hybrid (Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar); nano-hybrid with S-PRG filler (Beautifil II, Shofu); bulk-fill (Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill, Ivoclar); and bulk-fill with S-PRG filler (Beautifil Bulk Restorative, Shofu). The samples were assessed for surface roughness (Ra, μm), color coordinates (CIE Lb), and overall color change (ΔE, ΔE).
