Abstract

The objective of the present study was to determine the physical properties of two hybrid restorative materials as compared with two conventional glass ionomers cements (GICs) and two metal-reinforced GICs. The roughness surface of GICs materials, in descending order, was achieved subsequent to the use of metal-reinforced glass ionomers, resin modified glass ionomers and conventional GICs. The material with most heterogeneous structure is metal-reinforced GICs MM (GC). The size of the hybrid layer is influenced by the structure of material. EDS analysis evidenced no important difference beetwen the fluor contenu of investigated materials was found..
