Short-term mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement

Abstract

The setting reaction of glass ionomer cement was studied by analyzing and comparing the short-tem mechanical properties of set cement stored in silicone oil, air and distilled water respectively at different temperatures. For the set cement stored at 37 °C, the strength of the sample in the air reached the maximum value after 24 h, then decreased to about 210 MPa and kept steady. The strength of the sample in water increased continuously and slowly, however, the increasing rate of sample stored in silicone oil was higher than that in the water. At 20 °C, the increasing rate of compressive strength for sample in air was higher than those in silicone oil and water. The diffusion speed and maintenance of water has significant effects on the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cements.
