Effect of storage time and chlorhexidine addition on the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cements
Aims: To evaluate the effect of the chlorhexidine (CHX) incorporation and the storage time on the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cements (GICs).Methods: The following GICs were evaluated: Ketac Molar Easymix (KM), Vidrion R (VR) and Vitromolar (VM), containing or not CHX.GIC liquid was modified by adding 1.25 % CHX digluconate and then mani
