Review Study of the Application of Nanofield Coatings in Restorative Materials with Base Glass Ionomer: Water Absorption and Solubility of Restorative Materials

Background: Nanofilled resin-based coatings are a type of surface coating that consists of a resin matrix filled with nanoparticles, which offer several benefits over conventional resin-based coatings. Restorative materials with a base of glass ionomer have become increasingly popular in the field of dentistry over the past few decades. In this study we reviewed the application of nanofield coatings in restorative materials with base glass ionomer. Methods: A narrative review. Results and conclusion: There are limited research on impact of nanofield coatings on the water absorption and solubility of restorative materials with a base of glass ionomer, available studies suggest that such coatings may help improve water resistance and durability of these materials. The study by Jafarpour et al. specifically highlights the potential benefits of nanocoatings in reducing solubility and surface roughness of glass ionomer cement. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and limitations of nanocoatings for glass ionomer restorations, including their long-term performance and biocompatibility. In evaluating effects of nanofield coatings, it is important to consider characteristics of both coating and material being coated. Overall, advancements in nanotechnology may offer promising solutions for improving performance and longevity of restorative materials in the oral environment.
