Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Glass-ionomer dental cements are known to undergo complex interactions in the mouth that include the release of mineralising ions, buffering and interaction with saliva. They also appear to form an ion-enriched intercaial layer over time to enhance their bonding to the tooth. Materials that share some of the chemistry (resin-modified glass-ionomers and polyacid modified composite resins) show similar effects, though to lesser extents, whereas composite resins lack any such bioactivity. The present proposal aims to extend our understanding of the significance of these phenomena by examining in detail how various restorative materials interact with the tooth, and what changes they induce under clinical service conditions.
