    ABSTRACT: 
  /AB    Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) particles were used for the replacement 
    of amalgam alloy in Miracle Mix. The mechanical properties of YSZ-glass 
    ionomer cements were investigated after 1 day, 1 week and 1 month storage 
    in distilled water. Miracle Mix was used as a control and Fuji IX GP acted 
    as standards for comparison. Results showed that the mechanical properties 
    generally increased with soaking time. No significant differences in 
    hardness and compressive strength were observed for the three types of 
    glass ionomers at different time intervals. The diametral tensile strength 
    of YSZ-glass ionomer was, however, significantly greater than that of 
    Miracle Mix due to the better interfacial bonding between the particles and 
    the matrix. The YSZ-glass ionomer also showed comparable mechanical 
    properties to the Fuji IX samples. YSZ-glass ionomer may serve as a 
    potential substitute for Miracle Mix because it is tooth-colored and it has 
    better mechanical properties.
