Abstract

This study investigated the anti-demineralization effects of surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler-containing varnishes. Thirty-five bovine root specimens were divided into five treatment groups, with seven specimens each coated with 1) MI varnish (MIV), 2) F varnish (FV), 3) PRG varnish I (PV), 4) PRG varnish II (with sodium fluoride added, PVF), and 5) acid-resistant nail varnish (Control). A 3x1 mm area of the dentin surface adjacent to each varnish was demineralized for one week at 37°C. Integrated mineral loss (IML) of these lesions was determined by transverse microradiography, as was the amount of fluoride released by each material. IML was significantly lower in the PV and PVF groups than in the Control group, and was significantly lower in the PVF than in the MIV and FV groups. These findings indicated that S-PRG filler-containing varnishes, especially varnish containing sodium fluoride, had superior anti-demineralization effects on root dentin.
