Reinforcement of glass ionomer cement using ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowires.
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowire (UHANW)- reinforced glass ionomer cements (GICs) to improve their mechanical performance for clinical application. METHODS UHANWs were synthesized via a solvothermal method and incorporated into conventional GICs at 4 wt%, 6 wt%, and 8 wt%. Stru...
