The objective of this study was to apply the concept of ductile particle reinforcement to restorative dentistry and introduce an innovative glass ionomer material based on the dispersion of PEG-PU micelles. The results showed that reinforcing a conventional glass ionomer with PEG-PU micelles significantly improved the flexural strength and fracture toughness, enhancing the mechanical properties of the material.
The objective of this study was to transfer the concept of ductile particle reinforcement to restorative dentistry and to introduce an innovative glass ionomer material that is based on the dispersion of PEG-PU micelles. It was hypothesized that reinforcing a conventional glass ionomer in this way increases the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the material. Flexural strength and fracture toughness tests were performed with the novel reinforced and a control glass ionomer material (DMG, Hamburg, Germany) to investigate the influence of the dispersed micelles on the mechanical performance. Transmission electron microscopy was used to identify the dispersed micelles. Fracture toughness and flexural strength were measured in a 3-point-bending setup using a universal testing machine. Before performing both tests, the specimens were stored in water at 37 degrees C for 23 h. The fracture toughness (MPa center dot m0.5) of the novel glass ionomer material (median: 0.92, IQR: 0.89-0.94) was significantly higher than that of the control material (0.77, 0.75-0.86, p = 0.0078). Significant differences were also found in the flexural strength (MPa) between the reinforced (49.7, 45.2-57.8) and control material (41.8, 40.6-43.5, p = 0.0011). Reinforcing a conventional glass ionomer with PEG-PU micelles improved the mechanical properties and may expand clinical applicability of this material class in restorative dentistry.
