Background: Phytic acid (IP6), also known as myo-inositol hexaphosphate, is a naturally abundant compound, particularly prevalent in plants, It is present in edible cereals, legumes, nuts, oilseeds, and tubers.IP6 is a promising compound with potential applications across various fields of dentistry, including endodontics, restorative dentistry, and implantology.
Aim: The aim of the study is to formulate & evaluate the physicochemical properties of Ip6 incorporated Glass Ionomer cement.
Materials and Methods: Phytic acid (Ip6) liquid was prepared at 1%, 2%,5% concentrations, followed by the addition of these modified liquids at various concentrations into conventional GIC liquid. A total of 80 specimens were prepared by mixing modified liquids of various concentrations into conventional GIC powder. The specimens were grouped into four types based on the modified liquids used which is as follows Group 1 is conventional GIC, Groups 2, 3, and 4 included 1%, 2%, and 5% phytic acid incorporated GIC respectively. The compressive strength of the specimens were assessed using a universal testing machine.
Results: The results of the study showed a statistically significant increase in compressive strength with a mean value of (56.40 + 29.63 MPa) in 5% incorporated GIC, followed by 2% incorporated GIC (40.83 + 19.54 MPa )and 1% showed the lowest compressive strength (25.69+11.64 MPa).
Conclusion: Phytic acid incorporation into Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is a game-changer, significantly boosting its compressive strength, especially at higher concentrations of 5%. This innovative enhancement transforms GIC into a more robust and durable restorative material while harnessing the unique benefits of IP6, including biocompatibility, antioxidant, and cariostatic properties.
