Fluoride release of restorative materials exposed to a fluoridated dentifrice.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that brushing with a fluoridated dentifrice (Crest--Procter and Gamble) has on the fluoride release of restorative materials. Thirty standardized discs were fabricated; 10 were P-50 (3M) nonfluoridated composite resin (control), ten were Heliomolar Radiopaque (Ivoclar/Vivadent) fluoride releasing composite resin, and ten were Ketac Fil (ESPE) glass ionomer cement. Specimens were placed into separate containers of 10 mL deionized water. Half the specimens from each group were brushed with fluoridated dentifrice for two minutes twice per day and rinsed. The fluoride level of each specimen was evaluated for thirty days, using a fluoride specific ion analyzer. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's test (p < 0.05) indicated significant differences in fluoride release. The brushed glass ionomer was significantly higher than all other groups and the glass ionomer not brushed was significantly higher than all composite groups. Glass Ionomer Cement-brushed > Glass Ionomer Cement > Fluoridated Composite Resin-brushed = Fluoridated Composite Resin = Composite Resin-brushed = Composite Resin. Brushed glass ionomer appears to release the highest fluoride level, acting as a fluoride reservoir from the dentifrice for subsequent fluoride release.
