Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This investigation examined the relationships among light
cured glass ionomer liner, light cured glass ionomer base, and
composite resin material in the reattachment of fractured anterior
tooth fragments. Seventy-five bovine incisor teeth were fractured
and luted back together with three different materials (Universal
Bonding Agent/TPH Composite Resin; VariGlass VLC Liner; VariGlass
VLC Base, LD Caulk Div Dentsply Int Inc, Milford, DE) of equal
number. The reattached fragments were subjected to
thermocycling with a 40° C differential and then were loaded until
the force required to detach the fragment was reached. The mean
dislodgment strengths were 36.8 (± 25.6)kg for the composite resin,
36.4 (± 26.7)kg for the glass ionomer base, and 31.4 (± 29.S)kg for
the glass ionomer liner. Analysis of variance demonstrated no
significant difference between the three groups at p≤0.05.
Also examined was the type of fracture after reattachment.
Of the sixty-five teeth that were studied microscopically, 84.6
percent of the fractures were cohesive in nature, thus a breakdown
occurred within the material itself.
