Abstract :
The type II light cured glass ionomer cement and the type II conventional glass ionomer cement had shown antimicrobial activity to bacteria Streptococcus Mutans. The inhibitory effect of the two type of glass ionomer cement on bacterial growth were examined after setting for 5 minutes,1,7,14,21,28, and 35 days. Each group consisted of 6 specimens. The 6 groups of samples from glass ionomer cement light cure and 6 groups of glass ionomer conventional were put into aqua bidest water and after wards they were planted in cultures of bacterial streptococcus mutans, used to test the material. The bacterial agar plates were placed into anaerobic jars. The jars were incubated at 370ยบ C for 2 days. Then the diameter of the zones of growth inhibition were measured by using caliper. All the group of type II glass ionomer cement had inhibitory effect against Streptococcus mutans.
