Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the compressive strength of glass-ionomer cement (GIC) Type IX and Cention N.

METHODS: Five samples each of GIC Type IX and Cention N were prepared for testing the compressive strength. Cylinders of the samples measuring 1 cm diameter and 6 mm height were prepared for compressive strength. Testing was done by mounting the samples in a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min.

RESULTS: The mean compressive strength of Type IX GIC (n=10) was 94.010 with standard deviation ±15.654 while the mean compressive strength of Cention V (n=10) was 125.567 with standard deviation ± 7.890. The values of the compressive strength Cention N were statistically significant (P < 0.5) as compared to GIC Type IX.

CONCLUSION: The results suggest significantly higher values for mechanical properties of Cention N as compared to GIC Type IX.
