Preliminary Work on the Antibacterial Effect of Strontium in Glass Ionomer Cements

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The antibacterial effect of strontium in glass ionomer cements (GIC) was discussed. The glass transition temperatures were found to decrease with the increasing fluorine content consistent with the fluorine replacing bridging oxygens. However no significant correlation was found between the fluoride release and the antibacterial activity.
