The Addition of CPP-ACP Paste after Dental Polishing in Glass Ionomer Adhesion as a Fissure Sealant Material

Abstract

Background: Fissure sealant prevented dental caries by applicating material over pit and fissure in posterior teeth, so plaque and debris wouldn’t be retain over it. Nowadays, resin based and glass ionomer based used widely as a fissure sealant materials. Glass ionomer based has an advantages in anti-caries effect by fluoride releasing. The adhesion of dental material to the tooth was consider as a factor of material choice. Shear bond strength was a material test to show the attachment of dental material into tooth. Objective: This study was aimed to determine the effect of CPP-ACP paste addition after dental polishing in glass ionomers Fuji VII shear bond strength as a material for fissure sealants. Method: This study was a laboratory experimental research with post-test only group design. Twenty one GIC Fuji VII applied in putty box consist of dental enamel divided into 3 group, each groups consist of 7 samples. The control group was GIC Fuji VII applied without CPP-ACP paste addition after dental polishing. Group 1 was GIC Fuji VII applied with CPP-ACP paste addition after dental polishing and group 2 was GIC Fuji VII applied with CPP-ACFP paste addition after dental polishing. Shear bond strength calculated with UTM machine. Data analysis using Kruskal-wallis followed by Mann-Whitney test. Result: There were significant differences (p <0.05) seen from the GIC Fuji VII shear bond strength on the groups 1 compared with control group. But, there were no significant different seen in control group compare to group 2 and in group 1 compare to group 2. Conclusion: The addition of CPP-ACP paste after dental polishing increased Fuji VII shear bond strength as fissure sealant material.
