Studies of the Effect of the Chemical Environment on the Solubility of Fixing Cements in Vitro

The paper studies the effect of acidic and alkaline environments, as well as violations of powder and liquid proportions on the solubility of glass ionomer cements for fixing artificial crowns (Glassing, Fuji - 1, I-FIX). The results showed that an acidic environment and an increased liquid content increase the solubility of cements, while an increase in the proportion of powder reduces this indicator. It has been established that proper observance of proportions when mixing cements plays a key role in maintaining their stability and functional properties.
