title: Sealing effectiveness of light-cured glass ionomer cement liners.
abstract: Glass ionomer materials have been used as liners or bases beneath restorations, but light-cured varieties have recently been introduced. Microleakage at the restoration/tooth interface in cervical cavities was used to test the adhesion to dentin of two new light-cured glass ionomer cement lining materials, XR-Ionomer and Fuji Lining LC. Wedge-shaped cervical cavities were prepared on extracted teeth with a gingival cavosurface margin involving dentin, and the specimens were assigned randomly to three groups. The experimental groups were restored with two light-cured glass ionomer cements, the controls were restored with a chemically cured glass ionomer cement; and marginal leakage was assessed by dye penetration. The two light-cured glass ionomer cements displayed some adhesion to dentin in class V test cavities, but there was no significant difference between the two materials.
