THE EFFECT OF EARLY WATER CONTACT ON GLASS-IONOMER CEMENTS

Glass ionomer cement초기 경화시 수분접촉의 영향에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of immersion in water at 3, 5, 7, and 10 minutes after mixing on the surface of three regular and one light-curing glass-ionomer cement by measuring penetration of a methylene blue solution. Early solubility of these cements was also measured and compared with that of a zinc phosphate and a polycarboxylate cement. A blue-stained zone was observed in all glass-ionomer cement, but an inner, opaque zone was observed in only two of the regular glass-ionomer cements. Extending the time between start of mixing and immersion on water decreased the width of both zones in all cements and markedly lowered the loss of substance from the surface of regular glass-ionomer cements. However, time after mixing had no or only a limited effect on the loss of substance from the light-curing glass-ionomer cement, the zine phosphate cement, or the polycarboxylate cement.

본 연구의 목적은 3종의 일반적 glass ionomer cement과 1종의 광중합형 glass ionomer cement을 자료로 하여 연화후 3, 5, 7, 10분 경과시켜 methylene blue용액에 침적하여 그침투를 측정하여 물의 영향을 관찰하고 이상의 시간과 관련하여 수분과 접촉시 그 용해도를 zinc phosphate와 polycarboxylate cement와 비교관찰하였다. blue stained zone은 모든 glass ionomer cement에서 나타났고 inner opaque zone은 두종의 regular glass ionomer cement에서만 나타났다. 연화시작부터 물에 침적시키는 사이시간이 연장되매 따라 모든 cement에서 두 zone의 후경이 감소하였고 regular glass ionomer cement의 면으로 부터 물질의 손실량은 현저히 감소하였으며 물질의 손실량에 대해서는 light curing glass ionomer cement는 시간에 거의 영향을 받지 않았으며 zinc phosphate cement파 polycarboxylate cement도 이와 유사성을 보였다.
