Comparison of Mechanical and Surface Properties of Glass Ionomer, Resin-modified Glass Ionomer, and Alkasite Restorative Materials.
Researchers compared mechanical properties and surface characteristics of three restorative materials, finding that alkasite (Cention Forte) demonstrated superior compressive strength compared to glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer cements, with comparable hardness and surface smoothness to the resin-modified variant.
