Abstract
The resin modified glass ionomer cement was widely used for luting, filling and lining in the clinical situation.
The purpose of this study was to examine with the film thickness of the resin modified glass ionomer cement. 3 resin modified glass ionomer cement; Vitremer Luting Cement (VLC: 3M ESPE), Fuji Lute (FLE: GC), Fuji Luting (FLG: GC) and the conventional glass ionomer cement; Fuji I (FON: GC) were used in this study.
The specimens were prepared and measured following ISO 9917 and JIS T 6607. The data were measured immediately, 30 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec, 120 sec after mixing.
Mean of the film thickness were VLC: 8.1-10.4, FLE: 8.1-11.1, FLG: 6.1-12.8, FON: 10.9-18.3μm. The film thickness was varied with products of glass ionomer cement and setting time of load to specimen from 2-way analysis of variance.
