Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of Three Resin-Modified Glass-Ionomer Materials.

ABSTRACT: This study is aimed at evaluating the flexural strength (FS), fracture toughness (FT), and diametral tensile strength (DTS) of three resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (RMGICs): Ketac Nano, Riva Light Cure, and Fuji II LC. One hundred twenty specimens were prepared from the RMGIC materials (n = 10). The cements were mixed and inserted into different mould sizes according to the test performed: FS: rectangular Teflon mould (32 mm × 3.15 mm × 2 mm); FT: notchless triangular prism (NTP) Teflon mould (6 mm × 6 mm × 6 mm × 12 mm); and DTS: ring road stainless steel mould (6 mm × 3 mm). Specimens were light cured for 20 seconds on each surface and stored in distilled water at 37°C ± 2°C for seven days prior to tests. To evaluate the influence of storage in the mechanical properties of t
