Antibacterial and mechanical properties of arginine-containing glass ionomer cements

[Display omitted] The study investigated the effect of incorporating l-arginine (Arg) in a glass ionomer cement (GIC) on its mechanical properties and antibacterial potential. Pre-determined proportions (1%, 2%, and 4% by wt.) of Arg were incorporated in GIC powder; while GIC without Arg served as c...
