[A study of fluoride-containing composite resins: fluoride release, water sorption and dissolution]
1Department of Operative Dentistry, Cariology and Endodontology, School of Stomatology, Beijing Medical University, Beijing 100081, China.
Objective:
To study fluoride release and its impact on the basic properties.
Methods:
Fluoride releasing was determined by F-electrodes, water sorption and dissolution of the materials were determined by weight/volume loss technique.
Results:
The profile of fluoride release from fluoride-containing composites was different from that of compomer. Meanwhile, fluoride-containing materials showed larger values of water sorption (13.05-31.64 micrograms/mm3) and dissolution(5.88-24.80 micrograms/mm3) than controls.
Conclusions:
The F- releasing may affect physical and mechanical properties of fluoride-containing composites.
