Evaluation and comparison of flexural strength of Cention N with resin‑modified glass‑ionomer cement and composite – An in vitro study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the flexural strength of Cention N with resin‑modified glass‑ionomer cement and nano hybrid composite. Samples were prepared by filling the stainless steel mold of dimension 2 mm × 2 mm × 25 mm with cement/composite immediately after mixing. Excess flash if any was removed by abrading it with abrasive paper. Then, the specimens were subjected to flexural strength measurement using universal testing machine. The results were then tabulated and statistically analyzed using one‑way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple post hoc test.
