Fluoride Release of Several Types of Fluoride-Containing Restorative Materials According to Fluoride Concentration in Toothpaste

This study was conducted to investigate the fluoride release of fluoride-containing restorative materials in fluoride recharging according to the concentration of fluoride toothpaste used in Korea. Samples of glass ionomer cement, resin-modified glass ionomer cement, alkasite restorative material, and composite resin were prepared and fluoride release was measured on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28. Thereafter, fluoride-free, 500 ppm, and 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste was applied to each restorative materials, and the fluoride release was measured on days 1, 3, 7. Glass ionomer cement showed the highest cumulative fluoride release until the 7th day of measurement, and from the 14th day onwards, the resin-modified glass ionomer cement showed the highest cumulative fluoride release, but there was no significant difference. When restorative material groups were recharged with 500 ppm of fluoride toothpaste, the fluoride release was significantly higher only for the alkasite restorative material compared to the fluoride-free toothpaste group (p < 0.017). When restorative material groups were recharged with 1450 ppm of fluoride toothpaste, the fluoride release was significantly higher in all restorative groups compared to the fluoride-free toothpaste group (p < 0.017).

치약 내 불소농도에 따른 수종의 불소함유 수복재의 불소 방출량

이 연구는 국내에서 불소치약의 농도에 따른 불소함유 수복재의 불소 재방출량의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 시행되었다. 글라스아이오노머(Fuji IX GP EXTRA), 레진강화형 글라스아이오노머(Fuji II LC), alkasite 수복재(Cention N), 복합레진(Filtek^TM Z350XT)의 시편이 제작되었고, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28일에 불소 방출량이 측정되었다. 그 후, 각 수복재에 무불소, 500 ppm, 1450 ppm의 불소치약을 적용하여 불소 재방출량을 1, 3, 7일에 측정하였다. 글라스아이오노머가 측정 7일차 까지는 가장 높은 누적 불소 방출량을 보였고, 14일차부터는 레진강화형 글라스아이오노머가 가장 높은 누적 불소 방출량을 보였으나, 두 수복재의 누적 불소 방출량의 차이는 유의하지 않았다. 500 ppm의 불소치약으로 불소 재충전 시에는 alkasite 수복재만 불소 재방출량의 차이가 유의하였고(p < 0.017), 1450 ppm의 불소치약으로 불소 재충전 시에는 모든 수복재 군이 무불소치약군에 비하여 불소 재방출량이 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.017).
