Twenty eight disk samples (2.5 mm depth × 10 mm diameter) were prepared and divided into four groups: GroupI Vitremer glass ionomer, group II resin composite Tetric, group III resin composite Definite, and group IV Compoglass.The samples were stored in an incubator at 37°C for (24) hours. Each disk was suspended in an individual plastic tube containing (3) ml of deionized water. The water was changed every (24) hours, fluoride release was determined at each day for (30) days, after buffering the solution with equal volume of TISAB. The fluoride release was measured with a fluoride-ion selective specific electrode previously calibrated from (0.05) to (100) ppm. Fluoride release was expressed in part per million (ppm).ANOVA test was used to evaluate the data. The results revealed that Vetrimer glass ionomer released significantly more fluoride (4l ppm) for the first day than all the other products. This was followed by Compoglass which exhibits more fluoride release than the other two types (32 ppm), the Tetric composite resin Was the third material in the amount of fluoride released (3.75 ppm), and finally the resin composite Definite released fluoride in about (0.75 ppm). All fluoride release was decreased from day (1) to (30) observation period.
