- United Nation and EU Commission regulated to have nontoxic choice to mercury amalgam, which has been used to fill teeth for almost 200 years. Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy has been used to explore how Bioactive glass ionomer cements’ developing fracture toughness during setting. It is the first time to experimentally demonstrate THz technology capable to review the dynamics of atomic cohesion and fluctuating interfacial configurations in cementitious materials. David Watts, editor-in -chief of Dental Materials, said, “The resulting insights are essential for optimization of GIC performance for intra-dental restorations, urgently required with the global withdrawal of mercury amalgam.”
