Factors influencing fluoride release in atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) materials: A review

P Divya Kumari et al. J Oral Biol Craniofac Res. 2019 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this article was to review the fluoride release and uptake ability of some restorative materials which are used for minimally invasive procedures.

Methods: The literature search on published researches and review articles were carried out by using PubMed, Trip and Cochrane library databases. The search terms used were fluoride, restorative materials, atraumatic restorative treatment or ART, glass ionomer or GIC, resin modified glass ionomer cement or RMGIC. The articles included were between 2000 and 2015.

Conclusion: Fluoride release varies with m factors including the type of restorative materials used and also the media in which it is stored. Fluoride uptake is dependent on the type of the cement and the availability of fluoride including fluoride releasing capacity in the material.

Keywords: Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART); Fluoride; Fluoride releasing capacity; Glass ionomer cement (GIC); Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC); Restorative materials.
