AB  - Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bioactive glass–ceramic particles (Biosilicate®) addition on surface nanoroughness and topography of Resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs).
AB  - Methods: Experimental materials were made by incorporating 2 wt% of Biosilicate® into Fuji II LC® (FL) and Vitremer® (VT) powders. Disks of RMGICs (with and without Biosilicate®) measuring 0.5 cm (diameter) × 0.5 mm (thickness) were fabricated and...
AB  - Results: FL was significantly rougher than VT (p < 0.05) in wet and dry conditions. The addition of Biosilicate® increased the surface roughness in VT and decreased in FL, regardless of the storage media (p ≤ 0.05). No differences existed between...
AB  - Significance: The Biosilicate® particles addition produced changes on the surface nanoroughness of the RMGICs. These changes depended on the particles size of the original cements in dry conditions. In water storage, dissolution of the Biosilicate®...
