EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL AND FLUORIDE RELEASE PROPERTIES OF A BIOACTIVE GLASS ADDED GLASS IONOMER BASED FISSURE SEALANT

Aim: Bioactive glass has a wide range of medical and dental applications and is a potential filler component for dental restorative materials. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of adding bioactive glass to glass ionomer based fissure sealant on its mechanical properties and fluoride releasing ability. Material and Methods: Two experimental groups were prepared with BAG added to the powder component of the material at different ratios of %30 (BAG30) and %10 (BAG10) by weight. The glass ionomer based fissure sealant material without the addition of BAG was determined as the control group. Cylindrical shaped specimens (8mm x 2mm) were prepared from each group. Fluoride release, surface roughness and surface microhardness of the specimens were measured and the data were statistically analyzed using one way ANOVA and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests. Results: There was no difference between fluoride releases of the materials except the first two days. BAG30 showed the highest surface microhardness and surface roughness values. There was no significant difference between surface microhardness values of BAG30 and BAG10. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that adding BAG did not adversely affect the mechanical and fluoride release properties of glass ionomer based fissure sealants. Keywords: Bioactive glass, fluoride release, surface roughness, surface microhardness BİYOAKTİF CAM İLAVE EDİLMİŞ CAM İYONOMER ESASLI FİSSÜR ÖRTÜCÜNÜN MEKANİK VE FLORİD SALINIM ÖZELLİKLERİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI ÖZ Amaç: Biyoaktif cam, medikal ve dental uygula- malarda geniş bir kullanım alanına sahiptir ve dental restoratif materyaller için potansiyel bir doldurucu bile- şendir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, cam iyonomer esaslı fis- sür örtücüye biyoaktif cam ilave edilmesinin, materya- lin mekanik ve florid salınım özellikleri üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır.  Gereç ve Yöntem: Cam iyonomer esaslı fissür örtü- cünün toz kısmına ağırlıkça %30 (BAC30) ve %10 (BAC10) oranlarında biyoaktif cam ilave edilerek iki farklı deney grubu elde edildi. Biyoaktif cam ilave edilmeyen materyal ise kontrol grubu olarak belirlendi. Her grup için (8mm X 2mm) silindir şeklinde örnekler hazırlandı. Tüm örneklerin florid salınım değerleri, yü- zey pürüzlülükleri ve yüzey mikrosertlikleri belirlene- rek, veriler tek yönlü ANOVA ve Wilcoxon Signed Rank testleri kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: İlk iki gün yapılan ölçümler haricinde, tüm günlerde yapılan ölçümlerde materyallerden yapılan florid salınım miktarları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı bulundu. En yüksek yüzey pürüzlülüğü ve yüzey mikrosertlik değerlerinin BAC30 grubunda oldu- ğu gözlendi. BAC30 ve BAC10 gruplarında gözlenen yüzey pürüzlülüğü ve yüzey mikrosertlik değerleri ara- sında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, biyoaktif cam ilave edilmesinin cam iyonomer esaslı fissür örtücü materyalin mekanik ve florid salınım özelliklerini olumsuz yönde etkilemediğini göstermiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Biyoaktif cam, florid salınımı, yüzey pürüzlülüğü, yüzey mikrosertliği
