The influence of light‐curing time on fluoride release, surface topography, and bacterial adhesion in resin‐modified glass ionomer cements: AFM and SEM in vitro study

Reinforced glass ionomer cements have been widely used in pediatric dentistry to prevent dental caries. However, the influence of biomaterial light‐curing and its anti‐cariogenic effects remain unclear. This study evaluates the influence of the light‐curing time on fluoride release, surface topography, and bacterial adhesion in two types of resin‐modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs). One hundred disks were made, and samples were divided into...
