Disc shaped specimens were prepared from conventional (Ketac-Cem: KTC) and resin-modified glass ionomer cements (Fuji Plus: FP) and immersed in three acidic buffer solutions (0.01 M) namely, acetic acid/sodium acetate (AA), lactic acid/sodium lactate (LAB) and citric acid/sodium citrate (CAB) with a constant pH of 4.1 and stored for 1, 8, 24, 48, 80, 120 and 168 h. F concentration was determined using ion-specific electrode. Si, Ca and Al concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Ca, Al, Si and F solubility rates in both FP and KTC were the highest in CAB solution. The erosion rates of both FP and KTC in all buffer solutions increased as a function of immersion time. The amount of F eluted from FP was more than that of KTC. The total amount of elements released from FP was less than KTC in all solutions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcidic Buffer SolutionsErosionGlass-Ionomer CementResin-Modified Glass-Ionomer CementSolubilityArticle316Q3Q21068107423207217WOS:000324898000026
