Mechanical and Antimicrobial Properties of Glass Ionomer Cement Incorporated with Dragon Blood Tree Extract
Ghassan Mohammed Saeed AlAmodi;
Abstract
Glass ionomer cements are a group of dental cements suitable for the use in patients with high caries prevalence. GICs had undergone several modifications to enhance their properties and decrease their limitations120.
The purpose of the present study is to assess the anti-bacterial effect, compressive and diametral tensile strength of GIC with DBTE in vitro conditions.
The experimental GIC was prepared by mixing 1%, 2% and 4% of DBTE within the powder of conventional GIC . The CHX is also mixed with the GIIC separately. This resulted in creation of four groups from the modified materials, in addition to the unmodified GIC as a control group.
In this study Specimens were prepared by using Teflon molds constructed for each test. Antibacterial test against S.mutans was performed using disc diffusion test and assessed by inhibition zone diameter. Compressive strength test and diametral tensile strength were done by using universal testing machine.
The results showed there was a significant difference between groups. GIC that was modified with CHX showed the highest inhibition zone followed by GIC modified 4% DBTE, GIC modified 2% DBTE and GIC
