Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been suggested as a promising material in numerous applications including dental restorative materials. However, the influence of nanotechnology on physic-­mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC) is not well established. Thus, this in vitro study will assess the GIC's topography, roughness, and wear surface added with TiO2 nanotubes. TiO2 Nanotubes [3%, 5% and 7% (w/w)] were incorporated to GIC's (Ketac Molar EasyMix") powder component, whereas unblended powder was used as control. Physical-mechanical analysis will include: Surface roughness (SR) (n=8) - evaluate by surface roughness tester (1,25 mm in length/cut-­ off of 0,25 mm); Surface Wear evaluation (WS) (n=8) - consist of mass lost measurement after mechanical abrasion by a brushing machine using a precision electronic scale; Topography Surface (TS) - by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (n=2). Specimens of 2 x 4 mm will be prepared and submitted to mechanical abrasion machine (30,000 cycles, 200 gF load, 250 cycles/minute). Initial (MI) and final (MF) values of RS and WS will be expressed by the formula: DS or RS = MF-MI. Data will be analyzed by appropriate statistical tests, considering a significance level of 5%.
