Background: The traditional glass ionomer cement (GIC), which may chemically attach to tooth structures and release fluoride, has been recommended as a restorative material. Glass carbomer cement, a restorative material based on GIC, has just been introduced with claims of increased physical properties. In order to compare the Flexural Strength of Glass Carbomer Cement with Traditional Glass Ionomer Cement, the current investigation was carried out. Materials & methods: The goal of the current study was to compare the flexural strength of conventional glass ionomer cement and glass carbomer cement. Study moulds were created using silicone putty. The desired proportions of the mould were created using stainless steel scaffolding. A total of 100 specimens were processed and split into two study groups, each including 50 specimens. One group was made up of traditional GIC, and the other was made up of GCC. A universal force testing equipment was used to test the specimen's flexural strength after it had been prepared. All of the outcomes were noted, examined, and contrasted. Results: Mean flexural strength of GIC and GCC was 30.1 MPa and 28.7 MPa respectively. Non-significant results were obtained while comparing the mean flexural strength of GIC and GCC. Conclusion: Flexural strength of glass carbomer cement was similar to conventional glass ionomer cement. Hence; its use should be limited to areas of minimal stress. |
