Efficiency of protective sealants for glass ionomer cements.
This study compared the efficiency of protective sealants for glass ionomer cements. Scotchbond 2, Visar Seal, an experimental light activated silicone and Ketac Glaze were evaluated using liquid scintillation spectrometry. The results showed that Ketac Glaze was a very effective sealant for the newly placed glass ionomer cement and the resin component of Scotchbond 2 is in the same range.
