| Research Abstract |
Composite resins composed of PMMA as matrix and glass powders as fillers for restoration of decayd or injured teeth have been researched extensively, which are believed to be effective in cohesiveness with tooth enamel. However, the chemical durability, hardness, transparency of the fillers are to be improved. Furthermore, the dental materials having further functions such as controlled release of ions are greatly desired. This research is to develop glass fillers having F^- and Sr^<2+> releasing characteristic in order to fluorizate natural teeth for preventing tooth decaying. The optimization of required other physical and chemical properties of the glass fillers is also investigated.
The selected glass systems were SiO_2-B_2O_3-BaO-SrO-AlF_3, SiO_2-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-BaO-SrF_2, SiO_2-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-BaF_2-SrF_2 and SiO_2-B_2O_3-SrO-AlF_3-BaF_2. The dependences of various properties including extraction rates of ions on their compositions were researched. The summarized results are as foll

ows :
1. The extraction of ions from glasses was diffusion controlled after a reaction process of extraction at the initial stage.
2. Aluminum element in glass playd a role of reducing the total extraction of ions. It was explained that the formation of protective films being rich in Al^<3+> ions prevented further extraction of ions besides 4-coordinaded Al^<3+> ions improved the glass structure.
3. Adding of boron element increased the total extraction of ions. Besides it was due to the poor durability of B-O-B structure unit in water, the dissolvability of B_2O_3 rich phases in phase separated glasses was another reason because increased tendency of phase separation was observed due to increasing of B_2O_3.
From the above results, it is concluded that the extraction of ions from glass are controllable by using the effect of Al^<3+> ions and selecting glass composition, and glasses with controlled releasing ability of ions can also be prepared by useful application of phase separation characteristic of glass.
