Summary: This study synthesized silver nanoparticles and incorporated them with amoxicillin into glass ionomer cement, demonstrating a synergistic effect on oral microbes with excellent antimicrobial properties, significant inhibitory zone diameters, and the ability to disrupt bacterial biofilms. The addition of these antimicrobial agents had minimal effect on the compressive strength of GIC, making them a safe and effective choice for dental restorations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of traditional glass ionomer cement and resin modified glass ionomer cement after immersion in acidic drinks using atomic force microscopy. The results showed that the highest surface roughness was observed after 14 days of immersion in acidic drinks for both materials. Traditional glass ionomer cement was more affected by the acidic environment compared to resin modified glass ionomer cement.

Summary: The study showed that Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) restorations performed better in reducing dentin mineral loss compared to Composite Resin (CR) restorations. The cariostatic effect of GIC mainly relies on fluoride release rather than a direct buffering action, while the lack of buffering by CR did not significantly affect local biofilm pH, indicating a minor role in the development of secondary caries.

Summary: This study compared the fluoride uptake and release characteristics of conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) and GIC supplemented with silver nanoparticles. The results showed that the addition of silver nanoparticles significantly affected the fluoride release characteristics, forcing a compromise between the antimicrobial benefits of silver nanoparticles and the remineralizing advantage of fluoride.

Summary: The study found that toothbrush monofilaments containing surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler can inhibit dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans, reduce biofilm formation, and promote bacterial exfoliation. Nylon monofilaments are more suitable for accommodating S-PRG filler than polyester monofilaments, resulting in a better antibacterial effect.

Summary: This study synthesized ionomer glass with varying Al2O3 and P2O5 contents through sol-gel route, evaluating the Al/(Si+P) ratio to understand structural changes. It found that adjusting the sol-gel glass composition can optimize the properties of GIC, demonstrating promising in vitro cell viability results for fibroblast cells.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of adding glass fiber and graphene oxide on a resin-modified glass ionomer cement. The results showed that adding fiber and graphene oxide increased surface roughness, flexural strength, and microhardness. However, fiber addition also increased water sorption and solubility, while graphene oxide reduced water sorption.

Summary: Surface prereacted glass (S-PRG) is a bioactive restorative material that can influence the de/remineralization balance of dental hard tissues and the growth of oral microbiota. The study suggests that S-PRG has the potential to impact biofilm growth and lactic acid production, but the release of ions during biofilm formation is necessary to show an effect.

Summary: This study presents the results of a consensus meeting on the threshold property requirements for the clinical use of conventional glass-ionomer cements for restorative indications. 21 experts evaluated 18 different brands of restorative GICs and identified primary properties like compressive strength, microhardness, acid erosion, and fluoride release, as well as secondary properties like contrast ratio and translucency parameter to rank the materials. The study concluded that certain GICs met the thresholds for restorative indications and could be considered suitable as long-term restorative materials, with a decision-making process also considering results from clinical trials.

Summary: This study compares the preventive effect of glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations with amalgam or resin-composite restorations on secondary caries. The findings suggest that GIC restorations have a better preventive effect against secondary caries compared to amalgam restorations and a similar preventive effect compared to resin-composite restorations in both primary and permanent teeth.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of adding hydroxyapatite (HA) to glass ionomer cement (GIC) on its properties. The results showed that the addition of HA increased density and compressive strength of the cement samples, with formations of fluorohydroxyapatite (FHA) phase confirmed by XRD and FTIR analyses. Additionally, FESEM revealed the morphology of apatite crystals in the samples.
