Induction of DNA double-strand breaks in human gingival fibroblasts by eluates from titanium dioxide modified glass ionomer cements

Aging is emerging as a key global issue because of the proportion and absolute number of older people in populations around the world are increasing dramatically [1]. An increased aging population also comes with increasing in problems in oral health, including root caries. Strategies in controlling root caries involve with both preventive care and professional intervention. In recent years, high-viscosity glass-ionomer cements (HV-GICs) have been the preferred mode of restoring root caries lesions in the elderly [2].
