Abstract
Bioactive resin containing calcium, fluoride, and phosphate in the formulation may promote remineralization in email and dentin. This study aimed to evaluate the amount of calcium, fluoride, and phosphate ions released from composite resin, alkasite, and giomer when stored in a pH-cycling solution. Ninety specimens (diameter 15 mm & thickness 1 mm, n=5/group) were fabricated with bioactive composite resin (Activa), alkasite (Cention N), and giomer (Beautifil II). Half of the specimens were immersed in demineralizing solution of pH 4.4 and remineralizing solution of pH 7 alternating constantly for pH-cycling. In contrast, the other half of the specimens were immersed in distilled water for 14 days in an incubator with a temperature of 37°C. Calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ion release was quantified by UV-VIS Spectrophotometer. One Way ANOVA & Bonferroni post-Hoc test showed significant variations in the amount of calcium, fluoride, and phosphate release. There were no differences in the calcium release between Activa and Beautifil II in pH-cycling solution, Activa, Cention N and Beautifil II in distilled water. There were no differences in the phosphate release between Activa and Cention N in pH-cycling solution, Activa, Cention N and Beautifil II in distilled water. There were no differences in the fluoride release between Activa and Beautifil II in pH-cycling solution, Activa and Cention N in distilled water. The highest amount of fluoride and calcium release was from alkasite, meanwhile phosphate release was from bioactive composite resin in pH solution. The observed results could be beneficial for promoting remineralization.
