Aim: The aim of this study is to compare and evaluate compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) of a conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) and a glass hybrid GIC.
Materials And Methods: Five samples each were prepared of GC Fuji IX and EQUIA Forte cements for CS testing and five samples of each material for tensile strength testing. Specimens were subjected to a universal testing machine. Comparison of CS and DTS among two study groups was made using an independent -test for each. Level of significance was set at ≤ 0.05.
Results: Both test values were on the higher side for EQUIA Forte cement as compared to conventional GIC ( ≥ 0.05). However, the differences in values were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: EQUIA Forte can serve as an alternative to conventional GIC in stress-bearing primary teeth areas. Considering several factors like cost-effectiveness, surface to be restored, moisture contamination, and time considerations, the material of choice can be tailored to one's needs.
Clinical Significance: EQUIA Forte can serve as a viable alternative to conventional GIC because of its improved qualities.

Bioactive restorative materials are crucial for promoting remineralization and protecting dental tissues through ion release. This study examines how pH and temperature influence the short- and long-term ion (F, Ca, Sr, OH, Si, and PO) release from seven commercial materials: , , , , , , and . Disks were prepared according to the manufacturers' instructions; immersed in buffer solutions at pH 4.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare color stability and surface roughness of different tooth-colored restorative materials commonly used in pediatric dentistry after prolonged immersion into grape juice. Forty disc specimens were prepared using pink opaquer (PO), pink opaquer with composite resin (DUAL), composite resin (COMP), and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) of two-mm thickness. 3D-printed wells were fabricated in CD4 shade.

Background: A novel approach to enhancing the mechanical properties of glass-ionomer cement (GIC) may incorporate natural fiber. This study aims to evaluate the effects of raw and pure hemp fiber additions on the flexural strength (FS) and surface roughness (SR) properties of glass-ionomer cement (GIC).
Methods: Hemp fibers sourced from the local population were harvested, dried, and separated, then prepared in raw and pure forms to assess their impact on the FS and surface roughness of GIC.
Effect of Glass Ionomer Filler Size on Fluoride Release, Antiplaque Properties, and Abrasive Effects of Toothpaste.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of incorporating glass ionomer fillers of varying sizes on fluoride release, antiplaque properties, and the abrasive effects of toothpaste.
Materials And Methods: In this laboratory study, three toothpaste samples containing glass ionomer filler particles (0.5, 5 µm, and a hybrid combination of equal proportions of both fillers) were tested, along with a base toothpaste without fillers or fluoride and a commercial toothpaste (Colgate Total) as controls.

Objective: Understanding the sealing ability of restorative materials to prevent microleakage and its consequent complications-such as secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, and restoration failure-is imperative in clinical dentistry. This study aims to compare the microleakage performance of four restorative materials-bioactive composite resin (Activa Pronto), alkasite restorative (Cention N), compomer (Dyract Flow), and glass ionomer cement (Type 2 GIC)-in Class V cavities of extracted premolar teeth.
Materials And Methods: Forty non-carious, intact premolar teeth were selected and prepared with standardized Class V cavities.
