Changing the water solubility property of glass ionomer cement (GIC), which is frequently used in pediatric dentistry, is the starting point of this study. Objective: To evaluate the effects of boric acid on the water solubility (WS) of GIC. Methods: The samples were prepared as n=12 in each of four groups: GIC-Conventional glass ionomer cement; BGIC with 1:3 boric acid added to conventional GIC powder; RMGIC-resin-modified glass ionomer cement; BRMGIC with 1:3 boric acid added to RMGIC powder. Weight changes were compared 1, 3 and 24 h after keeping in distilled water. One sample in each group was measured by SEM-EDX analysis. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance, Dunnett’s T3 in multiple comparison tests, and generalized linear models. Results: In all groups, water solubility increased. There was a significant difference between the mean values of the WS-1h, WS-3h, and WS-24h variables in each group and between the GIC, BGIC, RMGIC, and BRMGIC groups in the mean values of the WS-1h, WS-3h, and WS-24h variables. The SEM-EDX analysis revealed 14.19–18.47%; 0.80–1.00%; 8.69–14.91%; 0.09–13.10% boron minerals in GIC, BGIC, RMGIC, and BRMGIC, respectively. Concl
