Influence of different storage solutions of fluoride release from glass ionomer cements

ABSTRACT

The clinical importance of fluoride release rests on its anticariogenic property. Hence, there are many studies concerning fluoride release from glass ionomer cements. Even though fluoride release tests have no reached the level clinical simulation, they represent an important parameter of analysis. A survey of literature shows tht different solutions imply in distinct quantitative assesssment of fluoride release from the glass ionomer cements. Therefore, the characteristics of solutions can influence the release. A distinction must be between the results to avoid doubtful interpretations. The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of the different storage solutions on fluoride release in the in-vitro tests...
