Restorative Glass Ionomer Cements

The advent of glass-ionomer cement in dentistry has expanded its clinical applications, offering efficient and improved outcomes. These tooth-coloured restorations exhibit low technique sensitivity, chemically bonding to both sound and caries-affected tooth structures. Glass-ionomer cements release fluoride, protecting against recurrent caries. These materials play a significant role in modern restorative dentistry, owing to their adhesive, tooth-coloured, and fluoride-releasing properties. With applications in restorative, lining, luting, and sealing procedures, they stand out for their versatility, unmatched by other restorative materials.
