Abstract

Background: GIC is very susceptible to contamination especially within 24 hours after mixing during the setting reaction. To protect against this, a coating agent can be applied. This study aims to determine the difference in fluoride release levels in Glass Ionomer Cement using coating agents such as EQUIA Coat, Varnish, and Cocoa Butter.Method: 21 cylindrical samples were prepared from conventional GIC (GC Fuji type II) and divided into 3 groups (groups I, II, and III) of 7 each. Group I samples were coated with EQUIA Forte Coat, group II with Varnish, and group III with Cocoa Butter. Each group of samples was stored in glass bottles soaked in distilled water for 7 days in an incubator at 37˚C. The fluoride release was measured using a 2010 DR spectrophotometer, while Alumina, natrium, Kalium, and Calcium releases were measured by an ICP-OES assay. The data obtained were analyzed comparatively using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskall-Wallis statistical test.Result: EQUIA Forte Coat showed the lowest concentration of released particles of Aluminum, Kalium, Natrium, and Fluoride, while the highest concentration was found in the Varnish group. Conclusion: The results concluded that EQUIA Forte Coat can seal GIC material well. Nevertheless, particles released in all groups are still considered to be safe for clinical usage.

Abstract

Background: Suturing is one of the important aspects in the success of periodontal flap surgery. The main purpose of suturing are for stability and immobilization of the wound. The success of suturing is influenced by the selection of appropriate suture techniques and materials. Simple interrupted suture techniques are often used in wounds with primary intention. However, this technique has several disadvantages so modification is made into a double sling suture technique. There are various kinds of sutures, such as non-absorbable sutures. The most important mechanical properties of sutures is tensile strength. The aim of this study is to compare the tensile strength of simple interrupted suture techniques and double sling sutures with non-absorbable sutures. Method: 24 samples were divided into 4 groups, simple interrupted suture group and double sling suture, each group using silk and nylon sutures. The suturing process was carried out on artificial gingival media, then carried out tensile tests and recorded the causes of failure that occurred in each sample. Result: The mean tensile strength of the double sling suture technique was higher than the double sling technique in both the silk and nylon sutures groups. Based on the results of the ANOVA test showed a significant difference (p≤ 0.05) between groups. Failure in silk sutures was caused by rupture media, while nylon sutures was caused by knots slippage. Conclusion: The tensile strength of the double sling suture technique is greater when compared to simple interrupted suture techniques so that it is better to use in suturing wounds with primary intention.
