Abstract
This study aimed to prepare a resin based dental sealant loaded with novel bioactive glass formulated from (50 wt% calcium silicate and 50 wt% sodium silicate) with different percentages of fluorapatite. Four glass batches were formulated then characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis, X-ray powder diffraction analysis and Transmission electron microscopy. Density, microhardness and bioactivity testing after insertion in artificial saliva were done. Four Bisphenol-A glycerolate dimethacrylate based sealant loaded with the glass batch that showed the preeminent properties and silica fillers were prepared. The prepared sealants were compared to commercial sealants regarding flow, curing depth, compressive strength and microhardness. Sealant composition that showed comparable properties to that of the commercial sealant was selected for pH changes, ion release testing after immersion in artificial saliva for different time intervals. Results indicated the structural stability, amorphous nature, and bioactive behavior with apatite forming ability of the tested glass batches. Experimental sealant revealed comparable tested properties with lower compressive strength compared to the commercial sealants at P < 0.001. The mean pH values of the tested sealants ranged from 6.75 to 6.35 with extended calcium and phosphorus ion release up to 90 days. It was concluded that the 85 wt% calcium silicate and sodium silicate with 15 wt% fluoroapatite had the best trend regarding ion release and appetite forming ability. Sealant loaded with 65 wt% bioactive glass, 10 wt% sintered nanosilica and 10 wt% nanosilica had the best acceptable mechanical properties. The novel pit and fissure sealant is a promising bioactive and ion releasing material.
