title: Visible light-activated glass ionomer cement: use as liners/bases and restoratives.
abstract: Traditional glass ionomer cements were sensitive to moisture during the initial state and were subject to dehydration as the material began to harden. Preliminary findings from in vitro studies and clinical trials indicate that a new light activated glass ionomer cement exhibits high shear bond values, reduced microleakage and improved aesthetics.
