PERBEDAAN PENYERAPAN FLUOR PADA EMAIL GIGI SULUNG ANTARA TUMPATAN SEMEN IONOMER KACA DAN KOMPOMER

The purpose of this study was to determine fluor uptake difference in enamel of primary teeth between Glass Ionomer Cement and Compomer filling. The sample was 30 maxillary first incisors divided into 2 groups. Each group consisted of 15 teeth. The first group was filled with Glass Ionomer Cement (Fuji IX ART, GC) and the second group was filled with Compomer (Dyract, Dentsply). The measurement was in percentage, using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrophotometry. T test exhibited significant differenc of fluor uptake in enamel of primary teeth between Glass Ionomer and Compomer gilling (t=1.1, p= 0.0001). Fluor uptake of Glass Ionomer Cemeng filling in enamel of priary teeth much more compare to Compomer filling.
