Can the addition of a calcium phosphate to a glass ionomer cement (GIC) decrease the amount of plaque-causing biofilms and reduce caries? In the first study in which glass ionomer cement disks have ...

Using neutron imaging, European researchers have shown how the lower mechanical strength in glass ionomer cements results from the presence of pores and also the increased hydrogen mobility within the ...

Dental fillings could soon last longer thanks to a new study of how the movement and bonding of aluminium ions affects the toughness of a popular type of dental cement. The research was done by an ...
