Evaluation of the effect of micro-hydroxyapatite incorporation on the diametral tensile strength of glass ionomer cements

Abstract

Micro-HAP incorporation did not affect the DTS of conventional GIC. The DTS of RMGIC was negatively influenced by the micro-HAP incorporation. Conventional GIC (with and without hydroxyapatite) exhibited a lower DTS than RMGIC (with or without hydroxyapatite).
