| description | Introduction:
This study investigates the impact of commonly prescribed pediatric medications on resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), which is widely used in pediatric dentistry in India. The interaction between these medications and RMGIC could affect the material’s durability and effectiveness.
Methodology:
Sixty RMGIC specimens were divided into five groups, each exposed to different pediatric medications: antibiotic syrup, antipyretic syrup, vitamin syrup, antitussive syrup, and distilled water (control). Microhardness and surface roughness were measured before and after a 14-day immersion period. Statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey’s test.
Results:
All pediatric medications significantly affected RMGIC, with antitussive syrup showing the most substantial impact. Microhardness decreased by up to 18.40%, and surface roughness increased by up to 21.40%. The control group showed no significant changes.
Conclusion:
Pediatric medications, particularly those with acidic properties, compromise the durability of RMGIC. Further research is needed to develop more resistant materials or protective measures. |
